Hamlet Registered Mortice Chisel

The Hamlet Craft Tools Registered Mortice Chisel is thicker than the regular firmer chisel, giving it the strength to cut out mortices, and making it capable of heavy-duty work. It is designed to withstand heavy blows from a mallet, and can be used for cutting across the grain as well as for levering waste material.

The blade is carefully forged, hardened and tempered, and then hardness tested to guarantee edge retention.

The Registered Mortice Chisel is available in the below sizes:

• HCT033 - 1/4" (6mm)
• HCT035 - 3/8" (10mm)
• HCT036 - 1/2" (13mm)
  
• HCT038 - 3/4" (20mm)
• HCT040 - 1" (25mm)

The chisel has a hardwood handle, a leather washer (designed to absorb shock), a steel ferrule and a steel hoop fitted to the striking end of handle designed to resist splitting.

The tools may require a final honing before use to suit the users individual needs (as will regularly need to be done through the use of the tools).
