ONE LOT OF FIVE Stormont Pattern Makers Bent Shank English Paring Chisels. 1 1/2", 1", 3/4", 3/8", 1/4" that I purchased for my tool chest in 1969 and used in the trade for over 40 years.
Bent shank paring chisels are used for delicate trimming and fitting. Controlled slicing, shaving, and fitting with quality tools was one of my joys in wood pattern making. If you've never used a paring chisel, you're missing one of the real pleasures of hand tool woodwor...king. The extra-long blade and handle allow you to hold the tool against your body (if you wish) so you can use your weight and motion to achieve a controlled, two-handed cut not possible with regular chisels. Bent shank paring chisels feature a shank that is bent up and away from the blade holding the handle clear of the surface being trimmed so your knuckles don't interfere when doing flat work. These fine English chisels are fitted with ash handle that measure from 4 1/2" to 5 1/2" long with blade lengths of 10" to 11". Note that the side view of the 3/4" shows a check in the ash handle, but this has never caused any problems with performance.
