05P8501 - Set of 3 Veritas Miniature Chisels
They're built for small, delicate work outside the range of standard bench chisels, such as trimming inlay, model making or fine detail in carved work.
At about one-third the size of standard bench chisels, roughly 3 1/4" long and under a third of an ounce each, they're built for close, controlled work rather than heavy stock removal.
The blades are PM-V11 steel, hardened to Rc61-63 for edge retention – the same alloy used in many larger Veritas bench chisels.
No, they're built for fine detail and small-scale work, not the general bench work a full-size set handles.
