Hardly any tool is as essential to a woodworker's tool collection as a high quality set of bench chisels. The blades of these chisels are made with the best available German Chrome Vanadium steel and are hardened to a Rockwell hardness (Rc) of 61. This level of hardness means they will retain their keen edge much longer than ordinary chisels. Though quite sharp right out of the box we do recommend honing first for best performance.

About MHG Tools - Manufactured by MHG Messerschmidt of Germany. A relatively young company, MHG have quickly established themselves as one of the top chisel manufacturers in the world. These impressive chisels are the equal or better of any European made chisel on the market. Like their competing German made counterparts, MHG chisels are forged, hardened, and machined to demanding German DIN manufacturing standards. Though their cost is not low, the price is not at all unreasonable. We are confident that you will find the quality, performance, and durability of MHG chisels to be well worth the investment.

While many European made chisels have fractional sizes printed on the blade, a large percentage of them are actually made to the roughly equivalent metric size. Quite uniquely, MHG is making chisels for the American market in true fractional sizes.
