Small Fishtail Chisel with ash wood handle and forged steel blade, available in 15 mm and 20 mm widths

Quiet accuracy

A lean fishtail profile slips into corners, the ash handle settling naturally into the palm. Steel finds grain; edges lift the last whisper of wood.

At the bench

The moment the line turns crisp

A blade shaped like intention

Fussy corners and narrow recesses often stall a carving—the line you see in your head gets lost in crowded grain. The Small Fishtail Chisel opens that space with a flared tip that shows exactly where the edge meets wood. Its sharpened 52100 steel holds a keen line, while the smooth ash handle keeps the hand steady through long, careful passes.

Clarity in the cut

Relief carving and furniture details live or die in the clean-up—undercuts, backgrounds, and the quiet transitions no one names but everyone notices. The Small Fishtail Chisel, in 15 mm or 20 mm, reaches into those tight places and shapes them with control you can feel. It turns finishing work into the part you look forward to.

For the hands that finish

Woodworkers and carvers who move slowly and precisely, shaping crisp edges in reliefs, sculpture, and fine furniture.

Put it to work

Choose 15 mm for tighter recesses or 20 mm for broader clean-up, then guide the flared edge to undercut and tidy backgrounds where straight chisels can’t reach.
