Four hand chisels ground to a 25° bevel, hardened to 61 HRC and made to DIN 5139. The two-component handle spreads impact force and keeps the grip secure during long sessions. Blades arrive bevel-edged and mirror-polished, so they cut straight from the box. The set ships in a 320 × 175 × 30 mm carton and weighs 810 g.
The 4-piece wood chisel set Kirschen 1198000 covers everyday bench work in solid timber. Each blade is heat treated to 61 HRC and ground to a 25° bevel. That angle balances edge keenness against edge stability in hardwood. The chisels are built to DIN 5139 and made by hand in Germany.
Blades leave the works bevel-edged and mirror-polished. The polished flank lowers friction inside a cut and helps the tool track straight. No pre-sharpening is needed before the first job. The 2K handle combines two polymers in one body. The harder core carries mallet blows, while the softer outer layer improves grip. The four widths in the box let a carpenter move from narrow grooves to wide paring cuts without changing systems.
The blades are forged from tool steel and heat treated to a measured hardness of 61 HRC. Grinding is set at 25°, a common bench angle for chopping, grooving and surface finishing. Bevelled side edges give clearance in dovetails and tight corners. The mirror polish on the blade face reduces drag when the chisel enters dense grain and supports a controlled cut.
The 2K handle joins a rigid structural polymer with a softer contact layer. The shape distributes striking force and limits wrist strain during repeated mallet work. The box holds four chisels in different blade widths, so narrow mortise cuts and broader paring cuts are both covered. A carton with locating compartments protects the edges in transport and storage.
Cabinet shops and joinery workshops use these chisels for mortises, tenon shoulders and groove cleaning. The 25° bevel cuts cleanly in both softwood and hardwood without tearing fibres. Furniture makers use the narrow widths for hinge recesses and lock mortises. Wider blades suit paring, levelling and final surface work on visible faces. Model makers and restorers also use the set for decorative detailing, where a polished edge helps control shaving thickness.
Catalogue figures list four chisels per set, a 25° grinding angle, 61 HRC hardness and DIN 5139 conformity. The handle is specified as 2K. Packaging is a carton measuring 320 × 175 × 30 mm with a total set weight of 810 g. Blades are described as bevel-edged and mirror-polished, finished by hand in Germany. Each chisel is checked for dimension and grinding angle before packing.
Store the chisels in the supplied carton so the edges stay protected between jobs. Use a mallet on the handle head rather than a steel hammer. Re-hone on a stone at the original 25° angle to keep the geometry consistent. Wipe the polished blade dry after use in damp workshop conditions to limit corrosion.
