Comes with a 30deg bevel
Very nice and sturdy chisel. I'm new to timber framing, but thought this would come with a 25 degree bevel.I always sharpen my chisels with a 25 initial bevel and go with a 30 deg for the edge.This has a 30 deg bevel, so I went with about a 33 for the edge.All I have are water stones, so I wasn't going to spend hours taking this to 25.The backside has a nice concave surface to guarantee a nice flat cutting edge.I would definitely recommend Robert Sorby chisels

This was just loved as a gift..
This tool was a gift, and very much loved for the overall quality and brand name. It had a very minor flaw, and it was exchanged very quickly with no hassle. It was definitely loved and appreciated!

Shipped ready for an ashe, or beech wood handle
The steel seems sturdy enough. Arrived sharp. I demoted a star because the handle is all wrong.Not a good species selection, and binding ring at the strike end is too loosely fitted to do its job properly.That ring can be heated to expand. As it cools, it shrinks. At least then, you wouldn't have to use that b.s. punch crimp.Me & that piece of steel could maybe get 40 years together. Plenty time to fine tune it.

Get one of these big boys!
This chisel is huge! I use it for lots now that I have one. Super sharp right out of the box. This is the best chisel I own by far —comparing unfortunately only to big box store chisels… worth the money, I also bought the smaller size down.

Been banging on this for better part of two months
Been banging on this for better part of two months, only had to sharpen initially then two additonal honing to keep the edge nice and sharp. Works great and a very sturdy tool

Excellent machined chisel
Good weight, length, and surface for registration. Ease the edges or wear appropriate gloves or you will wind up with innumerable “paper” cuts.

Quality chisel at an excellent price!
A Sorby chisel can last for generations. THIS IS A HIGH VALUE ITEM ......Comparative framing chisels are all higher in price. It comes sharp out of the box .....Honing is always useful for a refined edge. Love it!

It's an excellent chisel
Bought it for doing deep mortises, it's stable when it's deep in the cut and has very clean edges to work with. It came with a very usable cutting edge, you may want to hone the edge at the start but I found it useful right away 😀
