Rob Cosman's IBC 17-Degree Chisel: 1/4 inch

1/4 in IBC chisel 17 degree

After receiving honing and polishing the blade, I tested on 3/4 in pine stock. I made 1/16 in cut across the end grain both tangentially and radially. The chisel made clean cuts each time. I am not finished honing the blade. I can only expect the results to get even better. My standard 25 degree bench chisel did not perform nearly as well - tear outs were noticed. bottom line - I'm pleased. thanks rob klh

Great chisel for soft woods! Rob did a wonderful job sorting out the primary bevel angle that won’t crush fibers.

Great chisel!

This really helps out when doing dovetails in softer wood. Keeps that tear out to a minimum wirh that 17° bevel. When you sharpen it using Rob's method, you have a very highly efficient tool.
