    Default vintage Chisels Steel

    I was hoping to track down some vintage chisels in A2. Does anybody know what makers and year of manufacture I should be looking out for ?

    Hi, and welcome.

    I don't think vintage chisels were ever made of A2 steel. The use of that steel is a more recent thing. Most vintage chisels were some variety of cast steel closely related to O1 steel.

    The only "mainstream" maker of chisels of A2 steel, that I know of, is Lie Nielsen. Lee Valley may also sell them (edit: a quick search suggests they still make A2 mortise chisels).

    Good luck with your quest.

    Cheers, Vann.

    Don't know if you are still looking for chisels. I have 7 vintage gouges/chisels english made which I have posted for sale on the market place with a picture if you want to have a look at them.
