Chisel Tvardy flat woodworking chisel 25 mm CrV blade

Flat woodworking chisel Tvardy with a 25 mm Chromium-Vanadium (CrV) steel blade designed for precise paring, mortising and general shaping of wood. The straight-edged blade and comfortable handle provide control during manual chiseling, trimming of edges, cleaning of joints and fitting of wooden components. Durable CrV steel improves wear resistance for regular workshop use while maintaining a sharp cutting edge for accurate results.

Advantages

The CrV blade delivers improved hardness and wear resistance compared with ordinary carbon steels, extending time between resharpening. The 25 mm blade width offers a balance between precision and material removal, suitable for narrow paring as well as small mortises. The geometry of the blade and a stable ferrule reduce blade wobble and support controlled cuts. The handle is shaped for hand-held work, enabling steady pressure and predictable chisel action.

Suitable for

• Paring and shaving thin wood layers
• Cleaning and fitting joints in joinery
• Cutting and refining small mortises
• Trimming edges and finishing work on furniture components

Key specifications

• Blade material: Chromium-Vanadium (CrV) steel
• Blade width: 25 mm
• Blade type: flat, straight-edged
• Intended use: manual woodworking, paring, mortising, trimming
• Durability: wear-resistant steel suitable for regular workshop use

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the area to be pared or chiseled. Position the chisel with the bevel or flat face as required and apply controlled hand pressure, moving the tool away from the body for safety. Use a mallet for heavier cutting where needed, striking the handle close to the ferrule and keeping the blade angle consistent to avoid snatching. Regularly check and maintain a sharp edge; a honed blade produces cleaner cuts and reduces the effort required.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with light paring passes to remove material gradually and finish with thin shaving strokes to achieve a smooth surface. Keep the blade clean and dry after use and store in a protective sleeve or tool roll to preserve the cutting edge.
