With the BICK forged steel flat chisels from the German manufacturer Bavaria Steinmetzwerkzeuge, you can rely on solid material of European quality.
The flat chisel, also called flat chisel or plate iron, is used for flat chopping after sharpening. The flat chisel is also ideal for "cutting" letters and fine shapes. Use a chisel that is sufficiently wide in relation to the size of your workpiece.
It is best to sharpen a forged steel chisel sparingly. The hard parts of the chisel are limited to the last 10 mm of the cutting edge. This is inherent in the hardening process of carbon steel. If you continue to sharpen the chisel, it cannot be kept permanently sharp and you will have to replace the chisel.
