Veritas PM-V11 Bench Chisels
Parallel sides and bevel edges
Face of chisel is fully lapped. Ferrule seats directly onto the shoulder of the blade.
Blade is tapered from shoulder to tip for strength and rigidity. Tang is barbed and has flats to prevent the handle from rotating.
Description
The metal's micro-structure makes it extremely durable and wear-resistant, so it can withstand the impact of heavy chopping cuts even at bevel angles as low as 20°
Edge will typically last at least twice as long in use as an A2 blade before it needs sharpening
Despite its toughness, it is as easy to sharpen as A2 steel using common abrasive media such as water stones
Tapered from shoulder to tip for strength and rigidity
Center of gravity is at or below tang/socket connection; tang has flats to prevent handle from rotating
Ferrule turned from a solid blank, seats directly onto blade shoulder
Maple handle kiln-baked at high temperature to eliminate nearly all moisture content and to caramelize natural sugars in wood (helps seal it)
Handle is contoured to fit hand, with shallow flats parallel to blade back to provide tactile cues for finger placement
End is domed to resist chipping from glancing mallet blows
Blades range from 3-5/8" to 5-1/8" long
The3/8" and smaller chisels have 30° primary bevel angles, others are 25°
All have 2° micro-bevels, require only final honing before use
