Mortise Chisels 1/4 inch, Lie Nielsen

Designed with cabinetmaking in mind, not timber framing, these well-balanced Mortise Chisels are ground with parallel sides and are taller than they are wide to help keep them straight in the cut.
Lie-Nielsen Mortise Chisels have Hornbeam handles. Chisels are illustrated with Heartwood Hornbeam.

Our Mortise chisels are made of A-2 Tool Steel, hardened to Rockwell 60-62, cryogenically treated and double tempered. Length ranges from 9 ¾" (smaller sizes) to 11" (1/2").
