Robert Sorby custom-makes this skew chisel set for specialized joinery work, forged from Sheffield steel in the factory that has been making edge tools since 1810. The 28.5 degree skew angle puts a long point on the blade that reaches into corners and undercuts where a square-edged chisel cannot go, and the backs are precision-ground flat so the cut stays straight.

A skew slices rather than chops, shearing cleanly across grain in dovetails, housed joints, and anywhere a joint needs its last few thousandths cleaned out. At 15-1/4 in overall with an 8-in blade there is reach and leverage to spare, and the large tang is seated deep in the handle for years of mallet work.

  • Options: 1 in or 1-1/2 in blade width
  • Skew: 28.5 degrees, long point for corners and dovetails
  • Overall length: 15-1/4 in
  • Blade length: 8 in
  • Backs: precision ground flat
  • Steel: Sheffield steel, large tang seated deep in the handle
  • Made in: Sheffield, England by Robert Sorby
