Slicks
These huge chisels are invaluable as finishing tools for mortise and tenon, planing of door and window sills and notches. One style features the offset socket handle fitting, half oval top surface and absolutely flat bottom planing surface. The stick axe style features a steel handle welded perpendicular to the slick for extra leverage. It is also sharpened to an edge on the two sides giving it an added versatility of being able to cut on three edges. Both styles have excellent steel which tenaciously holds a sharpening.
