Marples M444 Blue Chip Bevel Edge Wood Chisel

The 12mm (½in) Marples M444 Blue Chip Bevel Edge Chisel is a smaller width tool ideal for detailed joinery work, cutting smaller mortises, and working in confined spaces. This size is particularly useful for fine furniture making, intricate joint work, and tasks requiring precision control with moderate stock removal, such as cleaning out dovetail sockets and trimming small tenons. The high-impact round blue plastic handle is contoured for maximum control and radiused for a comfortable grip during detailed work. Designed for use with a mallet, it will absorb the occasional hammer blow without damage. The solid one-piece forged bolster fitted bevel-edged blade is manufactured from best-in-category carbon steel, tempered along the full length and hardened up to the last 25mm for a longer working life. The annealed edge is slow to blunt yet easy to sharpen when required.
