This 12-piece Kirschen wood chisel set covers blade widths of 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, 40, and 50 mm. Each blade is hand-forged from high carbon steel, hardened to 61 HRC, with a 25-degree mirror-polished bevel, meeting DIN 5139 standards. Supplied ready-to-use in a European-made velour leather roll with individual pockets, ideal for joiners, carvers, and furniture makers.
This wood chisel set, spanning 2 to 50 mm, provides joiners with a complete range of widths in a single roll. The 12-piece Kirschen set includes blades at 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, 40, and 50 mm. Each blade is hand-forged from high carbon steel and hardened to 61 HRC. The 25-degree bevel is ground and mirror polished by hand. The chisels arrive sharp and ready for immediate use.
All chisels conform to DIN 5139 for geometry and finish, crafted by hand in Germany. Handles are matched to the blade to ensure controlled striking during paring and mallet work. Storage is provided by a rolled velour leather pouch with 12 fixed pockets, made in Europe. A separate leather guard protects the cutting edges during transport.
The cutting edge is critical, so steel selection is important. High carbon steel hardened to 61 HRC maintains a sharp edge through extended use in dense woods. The hand-finished 25-degree bevel and mirror-polished face reduce friction as the blade enters the grain. Side bevels are precisely ground, removing burrs and providing a smooth flank for dovetail joints.
Width selection determines how efficiently mortises or rebates are cleaned. The set ranges from a 2 mm blade for fine inlay work up to a 50 mm blade for leveling wide surfaces. Intermediate widths at 10, 16, 20, and 24 mm are ideal for common mortise and tenon tasks. This roll covers both detailed carving and broad paring without switching tool brands.
Transport damage is a common cause of chipped edges, so the roll is an essential part of the tool. Soft velour leather forms 12 thick pockets, each sized for a single chisel, ensuring blades never touch. The pouch closes by rolling and is secured with an adjustable leather strap. A leather edge guard is included for extra protection.
This set is suitable for professional joiners, wood carvers, furniture makers, and vocational training. Narrow blades are ideal for inlay grooves, hinge recesses, and decorative details. Mid-widths clean mortises, tenon shoulders, and housings. The 40 and 50 mm blades are designed for rapid paring and flattening of large surfaces. With a 61 HRC edge, these chisels handle hard woods like oak, mahogany, and rosewood while maintaining their sharpness.
Catalog data specifies 12 chisels in a leather pouch with widths of 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, 40, and 50 mm. Blades are high carbon steel, hardened to 61 HRC, ground at 25 degrees, and mirror polished to DIN 5139. The pouch features 12 leather pockets and includes a leather blade protector.
This set combines hand-forged high carbon steel blades with a protective velour leather roll. Compliance with DIN 5139 and a 61 HRC edge targets users who require consistent accuracy in woodworking.
