Who it's for

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Alloy steel blades generally hold an edge well with proper sharpening, and wood handles are a traditional choice for chisels meant to be struck by hand or light mallet blows. At 880 grams for four pieces, the set averages around 220 grams per chisel, in line with typical bench chisel weight rather than heavy framing chisels.
