Veritas PM-V11 Butt Chisels

A ½" or ¾" butt chisel handles the widest range of general joinery work; add narrower or wider sizes as specific projects demand.

Torrefaction alters the maple's cellular structure so the handle resists swelling and shrinking as humidity changes.

Not quite, each blade carries a pre-ground micro-bevel, so only a quick final honing is needed before first use.

The three-piece set (½", 1" and 1½") covers the most common mortising widths, while the seven-piece set adds every size from ¼" through 2" for full coverage; choose the seven-piece set if you regularly work a wide range of joint sizes.

The taper adds strength and rigidity along the blade's length, which helps it resist flexing when levering out waste.

Yes, the domed handle ends are shaped to resist chipping from repeated mallet strikes.
