Hornbeam Handled Chisel Set

 

Two Cherries Chisels are made of the highest quality German steel with a custom box for storage.  The blades are skillfully heat treated using an immersion bath method to achieve a hardness of Rc61.  This means that sharpening may take a few extra minutes, but they will hold and edge significantly longer than almost any other chisel made.  After heat treating the blades are polished to a rich finish that makes them a joy to use.  The final step is fitting the hornbeam handle.  These chisels are the best on the market today  Sizes 1/4" thru 1" Set of 6
