Cariboo Blades framing chisels are built strong. They can be offset for easy slicking and deeper cuts, they can be socket fit or have a tang fit running the length of the handle. Our chisels carry a lifetime guarantee. Headsaw steel is high carbon steel with a molybdenum, chromium and nickel content. We hand forge, creating a very tight grain lengthwise in the steel. After we harden and temper we go back into the blade, differentially tempering the tang and blending the tempers in the chisel blades. This creates a chisel blade with a strong tensile strength, tough enough to pry with and a razor edge that holds. We guarantee that all our chisels will hold an exceptional edge
