Professional 8mm skew chisel with angled cutting edge. Ideal for reaching tight corners, creating V-cuts, and adding fine details in relief carving and lettering work.
The Schaaf Tools 8mm Skew Chisel combines the versatility of a flat chisel with the precision of an angled cutting edge, making it indispensable for detailed carving work. The skewed edge allows you to reach into corners and create clean cuts in areas where a standard flat chisel would be awkward or impossible to use.
Made from alloy chromium-vanadium steel hardened to Rockwell C60, this skew chisel maintains its sharp edge through hours of carving. The angled edge creates a natural slicing action that requires less force than a straight chisel, resulting in cleaner cuts and better control — especially important when working on delicate details.
The 8mm width strikes the perfect balance for most carving tasks, while the octagonal ash wood handle provides exceptional grip and won’t roll off your workbench. This is the tool professional letter carvers reach for when creating elegant serifs and fine details.
