Hand
Forged
Hand
forged vs machine made. There is no comparison.
Hand forged tools are the choice of professional timber
framers and log builders.
Top Quality
Forged
from modern carbon steel, their shape and socketed handle
give you a satisfying handling like no other tool. Hardened
and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of about 60, the
edge will stay sharper, longer than a machined tool of
the same hardness, by a factor of 5:1.
Tip guards and holsters
Protect your investment with a high-quality, handcrafted
leather guard made of saddle-grade leather which is stitched
and riveted. Available for framing and bench chisels,
slicks and draw knives. Tip guards for slicks and chisels
come with ABS plastic backing inserts.
Handles and ferrules
What
would a good chisel be without a matching handle? Our
handles are turned from seasoned, dry hard wood: hickory,
ash, oak, and custom or exotic made to order: cherry,
purple heart etc. They offer a larger, palm of your hand
sized grip and are treated with all "natural ingredient" LAND
ARK wood finish. The ferrule is slightly
tapered or shaped to fit snugly just below the neck to
hold the wood together under the blows of a mallet.
We offer different styles of handles.
Choose from a typical American handle, either short or
long, or a Japanese-inspired one with an external ferrule
on a slight taper.
