Robert Sorby Bench Chisels
The term "Bench Chisels" is the traditional terminology for those chisels used by a joiner or cabinetmaker, either of whom would normally be working in front of a work bench. A good set of bevel edge chisels should be at the foundation of any tool kit. Our favorite design is the "London Pattern" model. After that, as a tool kit expands, paring chisels and gouges are logical additions.
| "London Pattern" Bevel Edge Chisels "London Pattern" refers to the decorative octagonal boxwood handles on these chisels. Overall length 10 1/2" to 13 1/2", blade length 5" to 7". Note: These chisels have a metal ring at the top of the handle that serves no function and is prone to falling off. No original "London Pattern" handle had this feature and we do not agree with Sorby's decision to use it. We strongly recommend that you remove these ferrules when you get the chisels and discard them. Should you chose to leave the ferrules on, we can not guarantee against them falling off. Because it tends to be more humid in Sheffield than most of the US, they will always be loose. (Some old chisels came with an iron hoop on top to prevent mushrooming. This ferrule does not serve that purpose.)  | ||||
