The MHG Messerschmidt Timber Framing Chisel is a German framing chisel for timber frame and log construction, in 1, 1-1/2 and 2 in widths, as a boxed set of three, or with the fitted wooden box sold on its own.

It is the framing chisel our crews reach for most. MHG makes these Timber Tools in true inch sizes rather than rounded metric ones. The straight, bevelled blade is 7 in long and polished, the chisel is 18 in overall, and the high-alloy steel is hardened to 61 HRC over the full working length, so the edge you hone years from now cuts like the first. The oiled ash handle sits in a steel sleeve with a ferrule to take mallet work.

If you have watched our Tool Selection video on YouTube, you know you can cut an entire frame with the 1-1/2 in size alone.
