Lie-Nielsen bench chisel 7/16″ - 11 mm

The Lie-Nielsen bench chisel is based on the Stanley bench chisels. The 230 mm long bench chisel is made of A-2 steel that has been cryogenically hardened. The sides of the chisel are parallel and narrow, allowing for precise cutting even in tight spaces. The Lie-Nielsen bench chisel is ground at a 30° angle, but it should be adjusted based on the use and type of wood.

Regular honing of the chisel will keep it sharper for a longer time, reducing the frequency of sharpening.

Note! This model bench chisel traditionally comes with a detachable handle. In practice, this does not cause any inconvenience during use; often, it naturally becomes secure. Due to the potential for wood and metal to expand and contract, there is a risk of wood cracking in temperature variations if the handle is tightly attached to the metal. This is one of the reasons why this model historically features a detachable handle.
