These Chisels with Reinforced Handles are made by Pfeil, a historic Swiss company that has been producing the highest-quality woodworking tools since 1902. They are forged from a special steel alloy developed exclusively for Pfeil, ensuring high hardness, exceptional elasticity, and excellent edge retention.
Thanks to its long-standing artisan tradition, skilfully combined with technological progress, Pfeil is recognized worldwide as the leading authority in the design and production of woodworking tools.
The blades of Pfeil Chisels with Reinforced Handles are made from a chrome-vanadium steel alloy (vanadium gives steel extreme hardness even at high temperatures), heat-treated in electric furnaces with a controlled atmosphere and tempered to reach an exceptional hardness of 60 HRC (Hardness Rockwell Cone).
The special composition and precise hardening process of Pfeil steel give the blades of these woodworking chisels extraordinary edge retention, elasticity, and strength.
Each chisel blade is then hand-sharpened to a 25° cutting angle by a skilled Pfeil artisan, making it ready for use, razor-sharp, and capable of retaining its edge over time.
The blades of Pfeil Chisels, ranging from 120 to 150 mm in length (depending on the blade width), are then securely mounted and fixed onto ergonomic beechwood handles treated exclusively with solvent-free vegetable oil. Unlike classic Pfeil Chisels, these chisels feature handles reinforced with a steel ring, providing greater resistance to mallet strikes.
Pfeil Chisels are available in sets of 4 chisels (6-12-16-20 mm), contained in a fine wooden box, ideal for storing and optimally protecting the blades.
