These skew chisels are custom-made for us by Robert Sorby. They take a 1-in Bevelled Framing Chisel and grind the cutting edge to the specific angle. These are have a 28.5 degree skew, giving you a long point ideal for cleaning out corner joints and dovetails.
Like the other Sorby framing chisels, these are forged from Sheffield steel, and precision ground flat backs to ensure smooth, straight cuts. The Sheffield alloy ensures that perfect balance of toughness, edge retention and sharpness. The handle and blade are accurately aligned so as to withstand decades of chiseling with a wood, rubber or urethane mallet. A large tang seats deeply in the handle for extra security and strength. Each tool finely balanced for added control.
