Timber framers' chisels


Timber Framer's Slicks

289 Slick & Holster

Robert Sorby have for many years manufactured specialist chisels for the timber framer and boat builder. The latest addition to this collection is two slicks. 
These are massive chisels - one has a 2.3/8" blade, the second is 3.3/8" wide - designed for cleaning up uneven surfaces on massive projects. Overall length is 27".
Blades are produced for high carbon alloy steel for the perfect combination of hardness and toughness.

Two Sizes: 
289 Slick 2.3/8" $170.00  ORDER ONLY
 
289 Slick 3.3/8" $190.00  ORDER ONLY
In traditional fashion each blade is rounded along its length and is fitted by means of a socket to a slender ash handle. This balance allows the slick to be pushed - not struck - in the time-honoured fashion.

The blades are also off-set thereby giving clearance when working less accessible areas like deep mortices. The working face is machine ground in order to produce a slightly hollow surface for ease of honing. Meanwhile the back face is rounded off for comfort and safety.

As an added extra Robert Sorby also offer a specially designed, heavy duty leather holster for safe use on site,
& protective edge guard.
