About Veritas seconds: this stock of our 1/4" butt chisel (05S2604) has some minor cosmetic flaw; performance of the tool is not affected. Quantities of seconds are limited and expected to sell out quickly.
Butt chisels are made in wider sizes than most chisels, making them efficient for wasting out large areas, such as the mortises for installing butt hinges. They also have shorter blades that some woodworkers find offer improved control.
Made from PM-V11 tool steel, the blade on this chisel tapers from shoulder to tip for strength and rigidity, and has parallel sides and true bevel edges for clearance and minimal friction when working into an angled corner or a tight recess. The blade is lapped flat.
The blade and handle are connected with a tang and a socket-like stainless-steel ferrule that seats directly onto the shoulder of the blade, with flats on the tang to prevent the handle from rotating.
The hard maple handle has been torrefied, a heating process that changes the structure of the wood at the cellular level, stabilizing it against swelling and shrinkage caused by humidity changes. Contoured to fit the hand nicely, the handle has a domed end that resists chipping from glancing mallet blows.
Blade length (including bolster) is about 3" and has a 30° primary bevel and a 2° micro-bevels. Requires only final honing before use.
Made in Canada.
