Socket Chisel 3/8″

The WoodRiver® 3/8″ Bevel Edge Socket Chisel combines the best of classic craftsmanship and modern design. Inspired by iconic chisels from Stanley, Keen Cutter, Buck Brothers, Swan, and Witherby, this chisel is optimized for precision in detailed woodworking. The back is precision-ground to strict tolerances, meaning less prep work when sharpening. A gradual slope from the flat back to the socket ensures smooth, controlled paring without the chisel lifting, even during extended use. The side bevels sweep back toward the centerline, providing excellent access to tight corners—ideal for intricate tasks like dovetail work.

Designed for balance and comfort, the WoodRiver 3/8″ Socket Chisel features a finely finished hardwood handle securely fitted to the socket. The resulting flat area, or “land,” is a consistent 0.7 mm wide—narrow enough to fit into tight spaces but wide enough to avoid discomfort during use. Built for durability, this chisel is ready to become a favorite in your shop, offering years of reliable performance for precision woodworking.
