Hand forged vs machine made. There is no comparison. Hand forged tools are the choice of professional timber framers and log builders. Forged from modern carbon steel, their shape and socketed handle give you a satisfying handling like no other tool. Hardened and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of about 60, the edge will stay sharper, longer than a machined tool of the same hardness, by a factor of 5:1.
Hand Forged Chisels have become the first choice of professional timber framers and log home builders. They have experienced that these framing chisels will take and hold a superior edge that will last longer, reducing muscle strain. Hand forged from modern carbon steel, with a flat back, slight beveled edge and a comfortable socket handle, they are a must for mortise and tenon work. These hand-forged framing chisels follow the line of design of turn-of-the-century tools, in their shape and unique socketed handle. But whereas those old tools were forge-laminated steel, our blacksmiths use modern carbon steel, which allows them to create a sleeker, somewhat lighter, yet tougher tool. They are a delight to hold and to work with. The handles are turned from well seasoned, dry elm. Leather guards sold separately.
