One chisels edge was ground to a convex shape. The 1/4" firmer was ground to near 3/16". Most or all have (or had) metal ferrules at the back of the handle. These chisels took a lot of pounding. I've got to pick a good wood to re-handle them with.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-6924682722391550252019-02-11T07:25:21.259-08:002019-02-11T07:25:21.259-08:00Good job Matt.

You might want to check if Orvil's chisels are back beveled. If so there are several options, other than keeping the back bevel, the options require removal of a bit of metal.<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.com
