Morning all

I was given this ....

Any ideas?

Cheers

Pics are a bit small but it looks like a swan neck chisel used to clean up the bottom of lock mortices.

I was still editing this when you replied, hence the 'tiny' pic.

The fact that you use it as a lever would explain why the end of the handle is unmarked.

Thanks Jason

That's what it is.

We call them spoon gouge`s

Different from a spoon gouge, if I am remembering correctly. The lock mortice chisel has a straight cutting edge. It's a very specific tool for a specific job, and is designed to take the strain of levering.

Have a look at this niceSorby.

You are correct I do not have one of those but the small picture looked like my spoon gouge.....I have to have bigger pictures....darn old eyes
