Blue Spruce Optima Fishtail Chisels – Curly Maple

Product Description

Optima Fishtail Chiselshandle the most critical paring cuts in tricky spots with extremely limited access. The prime example is half-blind dovetail sockets, but once you’ve added these exquisite chisels to your toolbox, you’ll find dozens of other places where they’re just the right tool for the job. The 5:1 taper ratio provides clear access to the most common hand-cut dovetail angles.

All Optima Chisels feature a lapped and polished back with a flatness measured in light bands (the same system used to measure silicon wafers). When you unbox your new Optima Chisels, they’re razor sharp and 100% ready to go to work.

Each Optima Chisel is machined from A2 tool steel, then double-tempered and cryogenically treated. The tempering and cryo treatments result in an incredibly fine grain structure and a hardness of Rockwell C-60 to C-62.

The blades extend 3-1/2″ beyond the ferrule. Each resin infused figured Maple handle goes through a proprietary infusion process that dramatically increases its durability. The result is the toughness of a composite handle with the beauty of natural wood.
