The MHG Butt Chisel is like the nimble ninja of the chisel world. Where other chisels fear to tread (or simply can't fit), this little marvel slides in with the grace of a cat burglar and the precision of a surgeon. It's the woodworking equivalent of squeezing into those skinny jeans from college - impressive, slightly uncomfortable to watch, but ultimately very satisfying when it works.
With its compact 8-1/4 inch length, this chisel is perfect for those "How did I get myself into this tight spot?" moments in woodworking. It's like having a tiny, very sharp assistant that can reach into places your fingers gave up on long ago.
The blade, made from high-quality CV steel and hardened to a whopping 61 HRC, is tougher than a two-dollar steak and sharper than your grandma's wit. It's so keen, it could probably split atoms if you're not careful (note: please don't try to split atoms with your chisel).
The ergonomically shaped oiled ash handle is a thing of beauty. It's so comfortable, you might find yourself holding onto it even when you're not working, like a woodworker's version of a security blanket.
Whether you're finessing dovetails, tickling tenons, or navigating the labyrinth of a drawer interior, this chisel has got your back (and your front, and your sides - it's very versatile). It's so precise, it could probably perform microsurgery on a splinter.
So, if you find yourself in tight spots more often than a claustrophobic contortionist, the MHG Butt Chisel might just be your new best friend. Just remember: with great power comes great responsibility. And very clean corners.
