Wood chisel set Kirschen 1111 SB 6-26 mm DIN 5139

A wood chisel set that covers the six widths most used in joinery: 6, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 26 mm. The Kirschen 1111 SB arrives in a carton box with a clear window on one face. Blades follow DIN 5139. Each blade is hardened, ground and delivered sharp, with a mirror-bright polish. Total length is the same on all six chisels at 260 mm, or 10 inch.

Handles are turned from seasoned wood and pressed after drying. A steel ferrule rings the striking end to limit splitting and cracking of the handle neck. Both sides of the handle are cut with a flat chamfer. That shaping softens the shock a carpenter mallet passes into the palm. Every chisel carries an embossed width mark and the maker logo. The box doubles as storage and as a display unit. Set weight is 938 g in a 185 x 320 x 40 mm box.

What the Kirschen wood chisel set 1111 SB offers

The six widths step up in useful increments for cabinet and furniture work. Nothing in the set overlaps, so a bench user moves from fine paring to wider waste removal without changing tools. Turning, grinding and assembly are done by hand. Packaging keeps the edges protected between jobs.

Blade geometry and finish

Each blade is bevel-edged along both long sides, which lets the tool reach into dovetail corners. The steel is hardened, then ground to a uniform surface with a bright, nickel-like polish. Chisels leave the factory pre-sharpened, so the first honing on a waterstone is short. The embossed width marking stays readable after years of bench use and resharpening.

• Bevel-edge blades ground on both sides
• Hardened steel, uniform temper across the set
• Mirror-polished surface finish
• Delivered pre-sharpened and ready to hone
• Width and maker logo embossed on each blade
• Compliant with DIN 5139

Handle and ferrule

The handle is turned from wood that has been treated, pressed and dried before machining. A steel ferrule sits at the struck end and holds the fibres together under mallet blows. Two flat chamfers run down the sides of the grip. They stop the handle rolling on the bench and spread hammer shock across a wider contact area in the hand.

• Turned wooden handle, treated and press-dried
• Steel ferrule against splitting and neck cracks
• Flat chamfer on two sides of the grip
• Clean turned profile with a fine finish
• Identical 260 mm total length on every chisel

Common applications

Bench joinery is the main field: cutting dovetails, cleaning mortises and paring tenon shoulders. Furniture makers use the narrow 6 and 10 mm blades for hinge and lock recesses. The 20 and 26 mm widths clear waste faster on wide housings and rebates. Woodcarvers and pattern makers reach for the set when a flat, polished face is needed for slicing cuts. Site carpenters also fit door hardware with it. All six chisels take mallet blows thanks to the ferruled handle.
