Pfeil Double Bevel Straight Skew - #1S

Slice Cleanly with a Swiss-Made Skew Carving Chisel

When your work calls for a clean, slicing cut rather than heavy mallet blows, you want a chisel ground for the job. The Pfeil Number 1S Skew Chisel gives you exactly that. Its straight cutting edge is bevelled on both the front and back at a slight skew angle, so it slices through timber for clean, controlled paring by hand.

That skew shape means you work it without a mallet, letting you feel every cut. The choice between a single or double bevel comes down largely to personal preference. Swiss made from chrome vanadium alloy to Pfeil's own specifications, it arrives sharpened and ready for the bench.

Key Features

• Slight Skew Angle: Delivers a slicing action for clean, controlled cuts across the timber.
