Bevelled-edge chisel.
Bevelled-edge chisel.
Our chisels (chisels, chisels) are forged by hand from a special tool steel. Thanks to the forging process, the material structure of the >>Kirschen<< chisel is improved again. The heat treatment in the salt bath generates a hardness of ± HRc 61 over the entire usable length of the blade and is thus significantly above the requirements of the German DIN. A self-developed polishing technique creates a groove-free surface that allows a smooth cut and easier immersion into the wood. From the factory, our chisels are manufactured with a cutting angle of 25°. This angle is ideal for soft to medium-hard wood. However, before the chisel comes to its first use, it should be worked with a sharpening stone to have the blade razor sharp for the first use. To be able to work successfully with the chisel for many years, we recommend that you clean the tool with a slightly oily cloth after each use. The applied oil film protects the chisel from moisture and therefore against rust. As a result, the service life and the joy of the tool are significantly extended.

Like the title says, it is taking a long time to hone these chisels. The polished finish looks cool, but in the polishing process, obviously metal is removed. The polishing is, I suspect, done on a wheel. This has resulted in the bottom of the chisels being anything but flat. If you want a well honed chisel, be prepared to invest time!
A much better option would be to buy the unpolished version. I have read since that these should also be available.
I am therefore slightly disappointed. Optics should not be put above function. A polished back side should be achieved with a high grit flat whetstone, not a wheel.
Once honed, all is well. Not had too much use yet to determine long term performance or durability, but others have had a good experience.
It’s amazing how many hours of our lives we now put into gathering every last minuscule bit of data before we make a tool purchase (or any other purchase for that matter – I’ll never get back the half-hour I spent comparing kitchen hand mixerslike there is any differencenot once has a guest ever stormed out of my house raging because the potatoes weren’t able to be whipped by the mixer. And everyone knows those are produced at a quality that is going to wear out or break within ten years, anyway regardless of the name on the badge).
I’ve digressedpoint is: we obsess about our purchases here in this century twenty-first. And we do this knowing full well whatever the item in question, we will eventually – most likely – outgrow it or tire of it, upgrade it or just decide to try something else simply to add to our never ending collection of toolsbecause, every person who is into tools knows the one with the most tools at the end of his or her life wins. Wins what, well, that’s anybody’s guess. I like to think Stanley and Bailey will be at the gates to greet me and give me a hearty handshake of congratulations. I’ll let you know.
Out of respect for your data gathering process as you contemplate this purchase, I offer the following in the hope you will spend less time wrestling with your decision: these are great chisels.
Are these the greatest chisels ever produced? Who knows. For every vote no there is a vote yes. Some want socket handles, some tang handles. Some hate the polishing Kirschen does, others are fans. Some say narrower bevel landings are most important in choosing a chisel, others don’t. For me, it comes down to this: these chisels cost me $20 each when bought as a set and for $20 each, I haven’t seen better chisels. They come with a well-made little box to store them as well, if that’s your thing.
I took two out of the box to test and was able to easily shave arm hair without doing any honing. I was able to pare both little trimmings and large scallops from a board easily and the surface left behind was as smooth as if planed. No reason to think chopping won’t have similar results. Pretty impressive at this price point. I was expecting to have to flatten the backs some and pass them over Diamond stones and a strop to be able to shave hair and pare as fine shavings as I did right out of the box.
The manufacturer of these has been making chisels forever and the steel is well-regarded. It is hardened more than most chisels so it will take some extra time to sharpen compared to, say, the cheapest-level Narex chisels (which are, in turn, great chisels for their very low price point as I’m sure you already know), so if that thought bugs you, these aren’t for you.
If you want the best new chisels you can possibly find on the market right now, you probably shouldn’t be looking at chisels at this price point. These are excellent chisels for $20 each. If that’s your budget, these get my vote, and I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Certains fer ne sont pas parfaitement plans, donc rectifier manuellement sur pierres ; et besoin meule (ou pierres) pour afftage parfait du tranchant comme tout ciseau. Reste un trs bon produis au rapport qualit / prix trs bien plac (achet moins de 120 les 6 en bote bois) pour des ciseaux haut de gamme !
Come da titolo recensione, ho trovato questo kit di ottima qualit e cura nei dettagli, l’affilatura gi ottima per utilizzarli da subito, se poi si dei maniaci della perfezione per lavori dov’ molto importante il controllo e la precisione magari sarebbe meglio lucidare il bisello…. Custodia, manici degli scalpelli, cerniere della scatola e sistema di chiusura molto curati. Unica pecca forse ma di poco conto, l’applicazione di uno spessore in gomma piuma all’interno del coperchio della scatola anche per il lato ferri e non solo dal lato manici. Mi sento di consigliarvi di acquistarli ad occhi chiusi. La qualit si paga senza troppi compromessi! Recensione neutra ed incondizionata. Buon lavoro.
I had heard very good things about the brand, which is one of the reasons why I purchased this set. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed that I had to finetune the chisels before even using them.
Also, and I understand that it serves no real purpose, the decorative ring on the handle of the chisels already came off on two of the chisels.
Other than that, I have no issues with the rest of the set. All the other blades in the set were VERY sharp.
These are beautiful, comfortable and well made. The handles are very ergonomic, and the rear ferrule means you can whack away at them with a mallet without fear of splitting them. As a test I used one straight out the box, and it cut like a hot knife though butter.
jolie coffret qui est arriv plutt que prvue.
les couteaux sont trs bien affut et on sent bien l’utilisation que c’est de la qualit.
Das Produkt sieht sehr wertig aus. Zur Qualitt kann ich keine Aussage machen. Wurde verschenkt. Als sehr negativ muss ich den Paketdienst von DHL kritisieren. Das Paket kam nicht pnktlich (das sei der Witterung geschuldet-Wintereinbruch). Das Paket sollte dann in der Paketstation abgeholt werden. Das hat dann 8 Tage gedauert. Also einen Tag vor der letzten Abholfrist. Schlecht!!!
The case is very well built, and appears to be birch. Solid wood sides with box joints, along with quality plywood top and bottom, make for a sturdy and good looking container for your chisels. Nothing shoddy here. The chisel handles are made from hornbeam, a smaller tree that is also known as musclewood or ironwood because of its strength and density. It is not a particularly beautiful wood, but is the perfect choice for a tool handle. The handles are comfortable to the hand, and are finished to a smooth, semigloss surface. Again, perfect for a working tool. Now the best part: the steel. The high carbon steel alloy is treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 61. That is very hard! You will find that when you do the honing/polishing, (yes, expect to do this on all new chisels), that it is slow going due to that extreme hardness, but you then wind up with an edge that stays sharp for much longer than average, and will require only minor touch-ups after cutting a lot of hardwood.
They are a joy to use, and will become a family heirloom. They really are that good.
Very nice quality chisels. Blades hone very nicely to razor sharp and hold their edge very well. Hornbeam handles are good to hold, well balanced and, having used for a while now it’s clear they will resist wear from your mallet very well. Overall standard of finish is very good and these chisels are certainly worth the money.
Very good quality, these were a present and they were appreciated.
They arrived in near perfect condition and certainly usable out of the box; a little lapping and honing just to hit that razor sharp edge.
They seem to hold an edge nicely and I would recommend them.
Great set of chisels, finest set I’ve come across by a mile
