Acorn by Henry Taylor #1 Straight Chisels for Woodcarving
Straight Chisels have a straight cutting edge with rounded bevels on both sides, which is ideal for creating a large range of precise cuts. Wider sizes help reduce the risk of splitting the wood along the grain—an issue that can occur with flat chisels.
These professional-grade carving tools are made by Henry Taylor Ltd. in Sheffield, UK. For over 185 years, Henry Taylor tools have been crafted by hand by skilled artisans using a blend of traditional methods, modern technology, and premium steel to ensure long-lasting performance and exceptional edge retention.
These tools are made from high-quality Sheffield steel, which is hand-forged and heat-treated to produce a fine, durable cutting edge. Each tool features an octagonal European beech handle fitted with a brass ferrule.
Please note: These tools are individually handmade, so slight variations in size and shape are to be expected. They are sharpened at the factory but will require final honing before use for optimal performance.
