• Overview
  If you prefer the control a shorter blade provides, Optima™ Butt Chisels are the choice for you. Whether you're working in confined areas, carefully mortising for hinges or working on small dovetails, these butt chisels give you the stability and access you need. The connection between the chisel and the handle combines a strong socket with a deeply fitted tang. They're available in nine blade widths from 1/8” to 1-1/2”. The overall length of the chisels is about 6-1/2", and you have your choice of Resin-Infused Figured Maple or Bolivian Rosewood for the handle.

  All Optima Chisels feature a lapped and polished back with flatness measured in light bands (the same system used to measure silicon wafers). This incredible surface results in edge sharpness unlike any other chisel in the world. You will never have to flatten the backs of your Optima chisels ever. And, when you unbox your new Optima Chisels, they’re razor sharp and 100% ready to go to work. No sharpening, no honing, no nothing.

  Perfectly sharpened is a great first step, but how does it hold an edge? Each Optima Chisel is machined from A2 tool steel, heat treated, double-tempered, cryogenically treated, ground, lapped and polished to perfection. The tempering and cryo treatments result in an incredibly fine grain structure and a hardness of Rockwell C-60 to C-62. Blue Spruce Optima chisels take and hold an edge like no other.

  Please note, wood is a natural product and wood grain, color, and figure vary greatly. No two chisels will look exactly alike, but we make our greatest effort to match each of your chisel handles when purchased as a set.
