Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these tools full-sized or mini? A: These are mini-tools, specifically designed for small-scale projects where standard-sized chisels would be too large and unwieldy.

Q: Do they come pre-sharpened? A: They come with a factory edge, but most pen makers give them a quick hone on a diamond stone for a razor-sharp finish before use.
