The KAPRA forged steel chisels are individually forged by hand in the small traditional forge EID in Metten, Bavaria. They are ideal for working medium-hard stone up to the hardness of limestone and marble. The special quality of the chisels lies in the optimum hardness of the tip and cutting edge - for a long service life of the sculpting tools and great stability at the same time. In an interview with bildhau, the owner of the forge Reiner Eid explains what is special about his tools and how they are made.

KAPRA chisels with hammerheads are made for working with an iron or steel mason's hammer, historically also known as a mallet. The mason's hammer delivers a very direct blow. The energy of the blow is powerfully transferred to the stone via the chisel. KAPRA chisels with a hammerhead therefore have a tapered head, which is driven wider over time by the impact of the hammer. To protect the hand and optimise power transmission, the hammerhead must be chamfered again from time to time.
