How to use

Hold the chisel with a firm but controlled grip on the handle, positioning the bevel face as required for the cut. For paring, use light, controlled strokes away from your body, keeping the blade flat where appropriate to avoid digging. For chopping or removing waste from joints, place the blade square to the work and strike the handle with a mallet if needed, ensuring secure workpiece clamping. Maintain consistent hand placement and cutting angle to achieve predictable results.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade sharp and free of nicks by regular honing on a suitable whetstone; store the chisel in a protective sleeve or rack to protect the edge and handle. Use appropriate personal protection and secure the workpiece before applying force or mallet strikes.
