Description
Heavy-duty Ferdin (Ferdinand)50 Rubens mortice chisel set. Cutting width of the smaller chisel is 1/4″ and the other is 5/8″. Although these are German they were widely sold in Holland and so are featured in the Dutch Collection.
Very tough steel with big handles to match. Don’t buy these to use unless you have big hands! These mortice chisels have tapered sides (see pictures). Believed to have been produced for the ship building industry.
Ferdin Rubens chisels stopped being made around 1910 so these are in amazing condition for their age. Little wear in either the handles or the tangs.
Suit serious collector or the right user.
