Bevel edge chisels are the most versatile and universally used of all bench chisels and should form an integral part of any woodworkers toolkit. They can be used either free-hand making a gentle parting cut or with light mallet strokes. Side bevels reduce the risk of binding in the cut as well as allowing access to undercuts, like dovetails. Not recommended for heavy duty applications.

Robert Sorby offer two styles of bevel edged chisel - a traditional design which features an elegant bolster and ferrule design. Both are made from exactly the same material and produced to the same high standards of craftsmanship. Each chisel has a 25 degree primary bevel and a 30 degree secondary bevel to easily allow for the cutting of harder woods.

For soft woods such as pine, woodworkers might want to re-profile the 20 degrees for the primary and 25 degrees for the secondary bevels. Very hard woods such as oak might require a steeper profile (30 degrees for primary bevel and 35 for a secondary bevel). Boxwood and rosewood sets are also now available in robust beech plywood presentation boxes.
