Mortise chisels, what’s your favorite

[Dave Zellers]

Aka the pig sticker

...the pig stickers. You really can't beat pig stickers as far as durability...

My favorites are the pig stickers.

I'd use a pigsticker and a Ward brand pigsticker. I have a set of Ward pigstickers.

...a whole bunch of pigstickers.... as I like the thought of a modern pigsticker...

...like pigstickers.

Ray Isles pigstickers all day long...

For the love of God, is no one going to stick up for the Pigs???



Now I'm Jonesing for bacon.

Dave, they will when pigs fly.

I have a set of oire and atsu nomis and 2 usu nomis from jindaiko-honpo and these are made by the blacksmith that Stan Covington works with. Jindaiko-honpo also sells mortise chisels so my fathers old co-worker (my father worked several years in Japan when he was young) sent them an e-mail to ask them if these are also made by the same blacksmith. If they are I'm going to buy the full set as well.

I actually have another set of these oire nomis in storage because Stan said his blacksmith is very old and may retire soon so I want to be sure I'm never without them.

I think the old school pigstickers are very cool, but don’t have any. I own some LN mortise chisels. They work well.
