Useful as a mortising chisel August 11, 2007
Josh Hopps (Iowa City)
The Sorby, Hirsch, and Ray Iles mortising chisels were all way out of my budget and my bevel edge chisels were getting wedged in when I was cutting some large and deep intersecting mortises in workbench legs. I wish Amazon had pics, these are not thick like mortising chisels, but seem to be the standard size and shape without the side bevels. I looked around and saw that 3/8 was the most useful chisel size for mortising if you only have one. It didn't take long to flatten the back and change the bevel to 25 deg. Even if you leave it at 30 deg. it still must be honed. The edge has held through chopping the mortises and I have been hammering away with my mallet (I was much more worried about my shop-made mallet than the chisels edge). Although it doubtless doesn't compare with the above brands, IMO its utility for this purpose combined with the price tag merit 5 stars.
