Framing Chisel Larger, longer chisels usually an inch or larger wide. Some were designed for paring with beveled edges and 20-25 degree bevels and some for striking with square edges and 30-degree bevels. Usually with hooped, socket handles.
Corner Chisel A framer forged into a 90-degree angle to clean out corners. Generally 30-degree bevels. Usually with hooped, socket handles.
English “Pigsticker” Mortice Chisel Ward and other makers. A short, stubby, fit-in-the-tool-chest, tang-handled mortise chisel with un-hooped handle designed for striking. All mortise chisels are generally straight sided…some have some taper for ease in popping out chips. All with 35-40 degree bevels.
Sash Mortise Chisel Medium length mortise chisel for bench use, generally with un-hooped handles. “Sash” comes from window factories, and there is some confusion describing medium length and long length mortise chisels as factories generally used the longer chisels but the medium ones are often called “sash” chisels.
German Pattern Mortise Chisel My term for them as they don’t fit other descriptors. Heavy, untapered blades and hooped, tang handles.
