Professional 8mm Flat Chisel made from CR-V60 steel. Perfect for smoothing flat surfaces, trimming edges, and creating clean straight cuts in relief carving and general woodworking projects.
The Schaaf Tools 8mm Flat Chisel (Sweep #1) is your go-to tool for creating perfectly smooth, flat surfaces in wood carving. With its straight cutting edge and zero curvature, this chisel excels at trimming, leveling backgrounds in relief carving, and making precise straight cuts that other gouges can’t achieve.
Crafted from alloy chromium-vanadium steel hardened to Rockwell C60, this chisel holds a sharp edge significantly longer than standard carving tools. The 8mm (approximately 5/16") width provides excellent versatility — wide enough to remove material efficiently, yet narrow enough for detailed work.
The European-style octagonal ash wood handle prevents rolling off your workbench and provides a comfortable, secure grip during extended carving sessions. Whether you’re a beginner learning proper chisel technique or an experienced carver adding to your toolkit, this flat chisel delivers professional performance at an accessible price point.
