I. Sorby, Sheffield, England
Circa 1880-1940.

A quality I. Sorby 1 1/2” firmer chisel clearly marked “I. SORBY CAST STEEL” - from one of Sheffield’s most prestigious toolmakers.

This substantial chisel features a broad forged steel blade stamped with the maker’s mark and “CAST STEEL”, guaranteeing quality Sheffield steel. The turned wooden handle with brass ferrule shows attractive aged patina from decades of workshop use. The 1 1/2 inch (38mm) width makes this ideal for heavy-duty paring, chopping mortises, and general carpentry work requiring a substantial chisel.

Isaac Sorby (I. Sorby) was one of Sheffield’s most respected edge tool manufacturers, with the firm dating back to the early 19th century. Along with makers like Ward and Marples, I. Sorby represented the pinnacle of Sheffield toolmaking excellence. Their chisels were renowned for holding an edge and standing up to hard use, made from the finest crucible cast steel Sheffield was famous for. The “CAST STEEL” marking indicates the superior steel production method that made Sheffield tools world-renowned. I. Sorby tools are highly collectible today, prized by both working woodworkers and tool collectors.

Good vintage working condition. Blade solid with working patina and clear maker’s marks. Steel remains sound. Wooden handle shows honest workshop wear with attractive aged finish. Brass ferrule secure. Ready for restoration, sharpening, and continued use, or display as a fine example of Sheffield craftsmanship.
