This is an 8mm Double Bevel straight chisel. These Pfeil student/intermediate sized chisels are 2″ shorter than standard full size chisels, designed for carvers with smaller hands or for beginners tackling basic projects. These chisels are the exact same quality and features as the full-sized chisels but offer an 85 mm blade length and 200 mm overall length.

The Pfeil European hardwood handled student size chisels fit the palm of your hand so your fingers can guide and control the action of the razor sharp blade. Octagonal handles allow for a comfortable grip and prevent the tools from rolling off your workbench when not in use. Pfeil makes student/intermediate sized chisels as well as full size chisels for more experienced or stronger carvers. It is actually quite common for the experienced or stronger carvers to also prefer to use these very comfortable smaller sized chisels. Both sizes of chisels are available individually as well as in starter sets to help carvers get a good start to the very satisfying hobby of carving wood.
