WTB 1/10" Mortise Chisel

[Scoony]

If you happen to have a 1/10" mortise chisel laying around collecting dust and really don't see a use for it in the near future, I am aiming to buy it from you.

Checking here before I pull the trigger on a LN mortise chisel.

Wow that is narrow. I did not know they existed. Learn something new every day.

I think that other than shop-modified versions, only LN makes one.  I've never seen a vintage chisel that small - only 1/8" paring - and very few of those.

I'm trying to understand why they'd have 1/10" on their site and not 1/8". I've got a 1/8" mortise chisel but hadn't heard of a 1/10".

Speaking of mortise chisels, did anyone see the new ones offered by Henry Eckert Toolworks? They're made with PMA11V which I'm assuming is near to the same as LV's PM-V11 tool steel, regardless they look really nice although metric sizing. I was thinking about grabbing one, on the very rare occasions that I feel the need to do the mortise by hand rather than using my mortiser, but then I remembered how much I dislike doing mortising.

This is the only other thing I could find. A 2.5mm chisel. Not sure how long it would take to receive the item in the mail. It's claiming to be a Japanese made chisel for about $23 USD

I am going to give hollow and rounds another try. I have a 1/8" mortise chisel and may stick with that. The cost of tapered irons add up pretty quickly. Already have the beech blanks cut out.

You could make your own 1/10" chisel. 7/64" (0.109375") thick flat stock, O1, oil hardening tool steel is pretty close to 1/10". Or get 1/8" and grind the business end down to 1/10th. And it will give you some practice at heat treating as you will need to do that to your plane irons eventually. I would get either 1/2" or 3/4" width stock. MSC Direct (no connection) sells a 36" x 1/2" x 7/64" for less than $25. I don't know what they charge for shipping. (I had an old 1/8" sash mortise chisel and ground it to 1/10" when I took a hollow & round class. Did the trick.)

Well if they come out as nice as the Jack plane you gave away the other day then I may contact you to make me a small set lol.
