Cosmanized Half-Blind Chisels: IBC 3/8 inch

Full Description
Customer Reviews
If you have ever cut a half-blind dovetail then you know how challenging cleaning out the pin socket is, especially in the corners. Not happy with the skew and fishtail chisels available, I designed and made my own half-blind chisel and they work great!
-
These chisels are "Cosmanized" from an IBC 3/8 inch bevel edge chisel and are available in either a Maple or Walnut handle.
- Has a 7/16 inch cutting depth.
-
Fishtail-shape makes accessing the back corners of the half-blind socket easy.
-
Sides of the chisel tip are sharp to sever fibers on the pin side wall and makes it easier to get into the corner.
-
One chisel does both corners verses a left and right set of skew chisels.
-
Pushing through endgrain is tough; unlike skew chisels, my chisel keeps your line of force straight.
-
My students love them! Try it once and you will never want to cut half-blind dovetails without it.

United StatesHalf-Blind Chisel
Nice sharp edge but I’m disappointed in the quality of the walnut and finish. I was expecting nice dark heartwood but see mostly light sapwood. Appears to be very little finish on it as well. I’ll probably end up replacing it with much better walnut.

I got a 3/8” and it sure makes cleaning out a dovetail easier than a standard whistle. I will probably get a 5/8” later on.
