FAQs
What are the exact sizes of the chisels in this set?
The set includes six wood chisels with blade widths of 6mm, 12mm, 19mm, 25mm, 32mm, and 38mm.
Can I use these chisels with a mallet?
Yes, the long handles are designed to withstand reasonable force when struck with a wooden mallet or mallet. Avoid using metal hammers, which can damage the handle.
How often should I sharpen the chisels?
Sharpening frequency depends on usage. For best results, hone the edge before each significant work session and sharpen fully when you notice a decrease in cutting performance.
What material are the chisel blades made from?
The blades are made from durable alloy steel.
Does the storage wallet offer impact protection?
The included storage wallet helps organize and protect the chisels from scratches and minor impacts during storage. It is not designed for heavy-duty transport or impact protection.
Are these chisels suitable for beginners?
Yes, the set includes common sizes and the long handles provide good control, making them suitable for beginners learning woodworking techniques.
How do I maintain the polished finish on the blades?
Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and light oiling after use will help maintain the polished finish and prevent corrosion. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface.
Troubleshooting
Chisel not cutting cleanly
The blade is likely dull. Sharpen and hone the blade using a sharpening stone or honing guide. Ensure the correct sharpening angle is maintained.
Handle feels loose
Ensure the chisel is not being used for tasks beyond its intended purpose (e.g., hitting with a mallet too aggressively on the handle end). If the looseness persists, contact customer support.
Rust spots appearing on the blade
Clean the blade immediately with a fine steel wool or abrasive pad. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil (like mineral oil or camellia oil) to protect the blade. Store in a dry place.
Blade chipping during use
Check the material being cut; the chisel may be encountering knots or extremely hard inclusions. Avoid excessive force. If chipping occurs on standard wood, the blade may be too brittle or damaged and may require professional repair or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This set requires no complex setup. Upon receiving the chisels, inspect each one for any shipping damage. It is recommended to lightly hone the blades before first use to ensure optimal sharpness, as manufacturing processes may leave a slight burr or require a final polish for peak performance.
Compatibility:
These wood chisels are designed for use with all types of wood, including softwoods (like pine) and hardwoods (like oak or maple). They are suitable for hand-carving, general woodworking, and carpentry tasks. They are *not* intended for use on metal, masonry, or as pry bars.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades thoroughly with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove wood dust and sap. Avoid using water directly on the blades for extended periods, as this can lead to rust.
- Sharpening: Wood chisels require regular sharpening to maintain their cutting edge. Use a sharpening stone (whetstone) or a honing guide with appropriate grit stones. Hone frequently during use and sharpen when the edge becomes dull.
- Storage: Store the chisels in the provided wallet, ensuring each blade is protected. Keep them in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion. Avoid storing them loose in a toolbox where blades can become damaged or nicked.
