Hand-forged in Germany to DIN 5139, this four-piece short pattern chisel set covers blade widths of 10, 16, 20 and 26 mm. Blades reach 61 HRC, with bevelled edges and a mirror polish, so they cut straight from the box. The 25 degree grinding angle suits joinery and carving. White ash handles absorb mallet blows. Supplied in a cardboard box.
A 4-piece wood chisel set covering blade widths of 10, 16, 20 and 26 mm, the Kirschen 1154000 is built for bench joinery and hand shaping. Each blade is hardened to 61 HRC and made to DIN 5139. The edges are bevelled and mirror polished at the works, so the chisels cut as delivered. A 25 degree grinding angle balances edge entry with edge retention on both softwood and hardwood.
The short pattern keeps the blade close to the hand. That shortens leverage and improves control on small parts and precise cuts. Wooden handles take mallet blows and stay comfortable during long sessions. The four widths let one set move from coarse waste removal to fine paring and detail work. The chisels are made entirely by hand in Germany and arrive in a cardboard storage box.
Tool steel hardened to 61 HRC gives the blades wear resistance and useful edge life between sharpenings. The bevelled sides reduce interference when cleaning out dovetails and narrow recesses. Mirror polishing on the face limits friction as the blade enters the fibre. The white ash handle absorbs impact energy from the mallet and keeps a steady grip in the hand.
The short blade format adds stiffness compared with longer patterns. That helps when paring joints, trimming tenon cheeks or working close to a layout line.
Four chisels cover the widths used most often in furniture and joinery work. The 10 mm blade handles mortise cleaning and small housings. The 16 and 20 mm sizes suit general paring and rebate work. The 26 mm blade removes waste faster across wider surfaces. The cardboard box keeps the four chisels together during storage and transport.
Each chisel is checked before it leaves the works, which keeps grinding angle and finish consistent across the set.
Carpenters, wood carvers and furniture makers use this set for daily bench work. Typical tasks include cutting and cleaning mortises, paring joint shoulders and flattening small surfaces. The narrower blades shape detail work and decorative profiles. The wider blades clear waste from housings and rebates. The chisels work on both hardwood and softwood. They can be driven with a wooden mallet or pushed by hand for controlled paring cuts on show surfaces.
Store the chisels dry and keep the edges away from hard surfaces such as metal or stone. Wipe shavings and dust from the blade after each session. When the edge dulls, use a fine sharpening stone and hold the original 25 degree angle. Occasional oiling of the wooden handles helps them resist drying and cracking.
