Wood Carving Palm Chisel – Easy Grip for Fine Work (Pack of 2)

A palm chisel is a compact woodworking tool designed for precision carving, detailing, and shaping wood by hand. Unlike standard chisels with long handles, palm chisels feature a short, rounded grip that comfortably fits into the palm, offering superior control and maneuverability. They are favored by artisans, woodcarvers, and DIY enthusiasts for tasks that require accuracy and delicate workmanship. Typically made with high-carbon or stainless steel blades and hardwood or polymer handles, these chisels combine durability with ergonomic design. The origin of the palm chisel traces back to traditional hand-carving practices in Asia and Europe, where craftsmen needed smaller tools for fine relief carving, furniture ornamentation, and intricate joinery. Over time, with the evolution of woodworking and the rise of hobbyist carving, palm chisels have become a staple in modern workshops. Their compact size and ease of use made them especially popular among both beginners and professionals seeking finer control over detailed work. In terms of function, palm chisels are ideal for tasks such as chip carving, whittling, spoon carving, and detailed wood sculptures. They are commonly used in cabinetry, instrument making, and restoration work. The palm design minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged use, making them suitable for intricate, repetitive motions. Whether you’re a seasoned woodworker or just beginning your carving journey, a palm chisel is an essential tool in your collection.
