Title: Odd Wood Chisel
Post by: wvtools on December 24, 2014, 04:30:27 PM: The writing on the handle is hard to read -- it looks like Asto Fitschenbeitel. I am guessing that this tool is some kind of mortise chisel, but I am not sure. I have seen a lot of chisels, but none like this one.

Post by: wvtools on December 24, 2014, 05:25:57 PM: I will be starting it as an auction in my Ebay Store (wvtools) later today. The usual starting price 9.99 plus 5.00 S/H/F. All of the Whatsits I list this winter will be put in my Ebay Store. I will try to post a link to it later, but the last time I tried to do that I had operator error problems.

Could that weird tip on the chisel have something to do with ice sculpture, or bulk/commercial ice handling maybe?

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
