Overview
A 1 inch alloy steel blade paired with a plastic strike handle makes up the Buck 120106BC, a working chisel built for carpentry and joinery tasks. The steel edge is meant to hold up under repeated mallet strikes rather than delicate hand paring alone.
Buck lists blade material and width but not bevel angle or overall length, so exact fit for fine paring versus rougher chopping is not spelled out. A plastic handle is common on chisels built to take mallet impact without cracking, which points this toward general purpose shop use.
- Buck brand, model 120106BC
- 1 inch blade width
- Alloy steel blade
- Plastic handle
Who it's for
Carpenters and woodworkers who need one durable 1 inch chisel for mortising and general trim work. Not the choice for buyers wanting a boxed set of graduated widths or a chisel built for fine paring.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Alloy steel blade takes and holds an edge
- Plastic handle withstands mallet strikes
- Sold as a single width, not a set
- Bevel angle and blade length not specified
Performance notes
Alloy steel takes and holds an edge through repeated use and can be resharpened over the tool's life, while the plastic handle absorbs mallet impact without splitting. The 1 inch width sits in the middle of common chisel sizes, useful for mortises and general trimming rather than fine detail carving.
