The GUILLET Forged Steel Deerfoot Chisel (Model 6968), known in France as the Pied de biche, is a specialty professional-grade stonemasonry hand tool. Forged in France with heritage manufacturing expertise dating back to 1643, this distinctively shaped claw-style chisel is precisely engineered for detailed profiling, architectural carving, and texturing on softer natural stones such as limestone, sandstone, and soapstone.
The "deerfoot" profile gets its name from its split, dual-prong configuration. Featuring two robust forged steel teeth, it allows sculptors to clear small valleys, outline relief details, or leave consistent double-rake lines across contoured surfaces without the binding risks of a wider claw chisel.
Product Features & Specifications
• Blade Geometry: 15mm wide cutting edge featuring 2 teeth (Deerfoot / Pied de biche design).
• Body & Shank Architecture: 12mm octagonal shank body (nominally matching 10mm-12mm class tool frameworks) providing excellent hand purchase and twist resistance under steady mallet strikes.
• Total Length: 220mm long, balancing responsive tool guidance with ample clearance to protect your hands from mallet blows.
• Material & Maintenance: High-carbon forged steel, shot-blasted and varnished to resist oxidation. The non-carbide composition gives it superior tactile feedback against soft stone and makes it simple to dress or sharpen using a standard file or stone slip
