Our Choice of Chisel Manufacturers? Hear from the DAB Team

At DAB Chic & Vintage, we've spent years using, sharpening, blunting and throwing away good and bad chisels. 2 brands have always stood out for me and Phil has added a third which he swears by. Here we go.

 Lie-Nielsen

  • Precision made with A2 tool steel - keeps a sharp edge for longer
  • Longevity - more likely to hand down than throw away
  • Best used for joinery and other fine woodwork

Two Cherries

  • High carbon steel - keeps a great edge
  • Hand forged - always good to see
  • Really useful for carving and classic woodworkers

Ashley Iles

  • Extremely tough - very intricate chisels and great with detailed work 
  • Hand forged - again we love to see this
  • Made here in the UK

Put it simple you cannot go wrong with these brands. All excellent choices. Watch those thumbs.
