Normal-Length Cold Chisels:

"Crucible Tool Steel." (per catalogue No. 36)

Those listed below as "Polished" are decribed in catalogue No. 36 as having "Polished Heads and Blades." Those listed as "Black" are described in the catalogue as "All Black." (per catalogue No. 36)

"With the exception of the 1" size these chisels are all listed according to the size of the steel as it is this dimension, rather than the width of the cutting edge, that determines both the manufacturing cost and the severity of the service for which the tool can be used. On our chisels the cutting edge is the same as or slightly larger than the size of the octagonal steel. Chisels can be made to order with the cutting edge 1/16" or 1/8" larger than the size of the steel without any extra charge. (per catalogue No. 36)

"Note: --The 1" size as listed above is made from 7/8" steel, this size being heavy enough for any kind of work with a hand chisel of this length." (per catalogues No. 36, 37)
