Robert Sorby 289 Timber Framing Slick

Description

New size available! Now available as 1 7/8″ wide. 

This heavy duty Robert Sorby timber framers and boat builders slick has an off-set blade to allow for clearance when working deep sockets and mortises, also used as a heavy duty paring chisel with no limits to reach due to its cranked neck. Made from a special high carbon alloy steel for a perfect combination of hardness and toughness. This ensures a razor sharp edge with outstanding edge retention.

The slick comes with a solid one piece forging including the heavy duty tang seated deep into the handle for security. An innovative heavy duty socket is fitted between the blade and the handle to make this one of the strongest and ergonomic framing chisels available on the market.

It is available in 3 sizes: 1 7/8″ (NEW!), 2 3/8″ and 3 3/8″ wide blades with an overall length of 28″.

The working face is machine ground in order to produce a slightly hollow surface for ease of honing and the back face is rounded off with no sharp edges for comfort and safety when handling the blade.
