FAQs
Can these chisels be used with a hammer?
It is recommended to use a wooden or rubber mallet to strike these chisels to protect the handle and ensure controlled impact.
Are these blades suitable for fine dovetail work?
Due to their size, these are best for larger stock removal; they may be too wide for fine, small-scale dovetail cabinetry work.
What is the best way to store the set?
Store them in a tool roll or individual edge guards in a dry area to prevent accidental damage and rust.
How often should I sharpen the blades?
Sharpening frequency depends on the hardness of the wood and intensity of use; sharpen whenever you notice the tool 'tearing' rather than slicing wood fibers.
Can I use these for prying?
No, these chisels are precision cutting tools. Using them for prying can bend or break the blades and is not covered under typical tool usage standards.
Troubleshooting
Chisel edge becoming dull
Hone the blade using a whetstone or honing guide to restore the cutting edge; avoid using powered grinders that can overheat and ruin the temper of the steel.
Signs of rust on the blade
Clean the surface with a fine abrasive pad and apply a thin coat of protective machine oil after each cleaning session.
Difficulty pushing through hardwood
Ensure the bevel is correctly honed and consider using a mallet to provide controlled force rather than relying solely on hand pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rikä chisels, proper maintenance is required. Out of the box, verify the factory bevel is sharp and free from any protective shipping coatings. Always store these tools in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent corrosion. For maintenance, use a whetstone or high-grit honing guide to maintain the factory edge angle. Avoid using these chisels on metal or masonry, as contact with harder materials will chip the high-carbon steel edges. After each use, wipe the blades clean with a light machine oil to protect the steel surface from rust and degradation.
