Another type of specialty woodcarving chisel is the curved chisel. These tools have a U-shaped blade that allows the users to cut deep furrows into the wood, removing more material in a single pass that a standard bench chisel.

A skew chisel is intended for finish carving, with a long, angled blade that is ideal for cutting intricate patterns and fine details into the wood. The shape of the blade and the pointed tip can also be used with precise control to cut delicate dovetails and other joinery techniques. Made from A2 Tool Steel, hardened to RC 60-62 and ground razor sharp. Beveled at 30º. Comes with Maine-harvested Hornbeam handles. Overall length is approximately 10".While most chisels are used for woodworking, a cold chisel is specifically design to cut and carve metals that are softer than the material used to craft the tool. These chisels can also be used to cut off rivets, rusted nuts, and seized bolts, instead of fighting to free these worn fasteners. Firmer chisels are one of the oldest types of modern chisels still in use today. These chisels typically have a flat blade with square edges that is ideal for cutting precise 90-degree corners, and hardwood handles that are easy to grip.

A corner chisel is, predictably, shaped like a corner. Usually quite small, the blade is bent at a 90-degree angle. This angle allows it to create a perfect corner in the wood without you having to eyeball it or get out measuring tools.
