The MHG Firmer Bench Chisel stands out for its thoughtful design and construction. The decision to sharpen but not polish the blades ensures that the edges remain as flat as possible, a crucial feature for fine, precise work. This attention to detail demonstrates MHG's understanding of the needs of serious woodworkers.
The clear-finished hornbeam handles are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Their slightly flattened design is a clever safety feature, preventing the chisels from rolling off workbenches – a simple yet effective solution to a common workshop hazard.
The varying lengths of the chisels according to their width show consideration for balance and usability across the range. This design choice ensures that each chisel, regardless of its width, feels comfortable and well-proportioned in the user's hand.
