A truly sharp chisel edge requires two perfectly flat, polished faces—but most chisels don’t come that way. They typically need hours of sharpening, honing, lapping, and polishing before they’re ready for serious work.  Blue Spruce Chisels eliminate that hassle and come in two levels of preparation:

STANDARD: Ready to use out of the box. Perfectly surface ground on both top and bottom faces. Sharpened with a micro bevel and ready for your finest woodworking projects.

PREMIUM: Top of the line preparation. Surface ground, lapped and polished to an unmatched level of performance.

Perfectly sharpened is a great first step, but how does it hold its edge? Each chisel is machined from A2 tool steel, then double-tempered and cryogenically treated. The tempering and cryo treatments result in an incredibly fine grain structure and a hardness of Rockwell C-60 to C-62. These chisels take and hold an edge like no other. 

Bench Chisel blades extend 4-1/2" beyond the ferrule. The standard chisel handles fit most hands comfortably for both mallet work and delicate paring cuts. You have two choices of wood for the handle: Resin-Infused Figured Maple or Bolivian Rosewood.

Please note, wood is a natural product and wood grain, color, and figure vary greatly. No two chisels will look exactly alike, but we make our greatest effort to match each of your chisel handles when purchased as a set. If you are not satisfied with your chisels, contact our customer service and we’ll be more than happy to assist you.
