Mortice chisel needs to be strong enough to withstand heavy pounding when chopping out mortices or cutting other joints. The steel hoop at the top of the chisel prevents the handle splitting from constant blows of the mallet. The handle ends in a polished stainless steel ferrule with a shock absorbing leather washer between the handle and the chisel’s bolster.
