Dovetail work needs clean cuts, and this six-piece Kirschen kit covers blade widths of 4, 6, 10, 16 and 20 mm. A marking knife completes the set for accurate layout before cutting. Blades reach 61 HRC, are ground at 25° and bevelled to DIN 5139. Red beech handles give a firm grip; the wooden box holds each piece in a fitted wood insert.
A 6-piece wood chisel set built for dovetail joinery, this Kirschen 1107001 kit combines five firmer chisels with one marking knife. Blade widths run 4, 6, 10, 16 and 20 mm. The edges are ground by the traditional method, then oiled, so the tools cut straight out of the box. Each blade reaches 61 HRC and carries a 25° grinding angle.
Bevelling and polishing follow DIN 5139, which keeps the cutting edge clean and predictable in hardwood. Handles are turned from red beech and sit firmly in the hand during mallet work or paring. The fitted wooden box holds every piece in a shaped wood insert. Blades and handles stay separated, so edges do not knock together in storage or transport. The size spread covers small drawer dovetails up to wide carcase joints.
Steel hardness of 61 HRC allows the edge to hold its geometry through repeated paring cuts. The 25° grinding angle suits softwood and hardwood joinery alike. Bevelling and polishing to DIN 5139 reduce friction along the blade flanks. Red beech handles resist splitting under mallet blows. A protective oil film on the blades limits corrosion before first use.
The box is more than packaging. Its insert grips each chisel by the blade and handle, preventing contact damage between tools. That matters for edges polished to a fine finish. On the bench, the open box doubles as a tool tray, keeping the five sizes in order. Long-term storage in the box also reduces the risk of rust marks from bench dampness.
Five blade widths are included, chosen to match common dovetail proportions. The narrow 4 mm chisel reaches into fine pin sockets. Mid sizes clear waste quickly without crowding the layout lines. The 20 mm chisel pares wide shoulders in one pass. The marking knife scores the joint before any cutting begins, which keeps the chisel registered in a crisp line.
Together these six items cover most dovetail work found in a joinery shop. A cabinetmaker can move from drawer sides to case joints without changing tool brand or edge geometry. Because all blades share the same 25° angle, sharpening routines stay consistent. One honing setup serves the whole set, which shortens bench time between cutting sessions.
The main use is dovetail joinery, a traditional wood connection that demands accurate layout and clean walls. The size range handles pins and sockets from narrow to wide. Sharp edges at 25° cut cleanly, so less rework is needed after chopping. The marking knife scores fibres before the chisel enters the cut. Beyond dovetails, the chisels pare mortise cheeks, trim tenon shoulders and clean hinge recesses in furniture and cabinet work.
Wipe the blades after use and apply a light oil film to prevent rust. Return each chisel to its place in the wooden box to avoid edge contact. Re-hone the bevel when cutting pressure rises. Do not use a chisel as a pry bar, and avoid excessive force that can deform the edge or loosen the handle.
