Overview
The GNB-MC-F is a 12 inch chisel made from chromium vanadium and high carbon steel with a rubber handle. It holds a 4.5 rating from 266 reviews under Tools and Chisels, with about 100 bought in the past month.
Chromium vanadium steel is a common choice for striking tools because it resists chipping under repeated hammer blows better than plain carbon steel alone, and pairing it with high carbon steel points to a blade built to hold an edge. The rubber handle adds grip and some shock absorption compared to a bare metal tang. At 12 inches, this sits toward the longer end for a hand chisel, suited to masonry or demolition work over fine woodworking.

Performance notes
The chromium vanadium and high carbon steel blend gives this chisel added resistance to chipping under hammer strikes, a common requirement for masonry and demolition work rather than delicate paring cuts. The rubber handle cushions impact compared to a bare steel grip, reducing hand fatigue during repeated strikes. At 12 inches overall, it offers more reach and leverage than a typical woodworking chisel, which usually runs shorter.
