and another titan chisel (which fortunately needs a new handle...)

Titan 1" registered firmer chisel

Titan 3/4" Plain Edge Registered Firmer Chisel

Slightly bent but now with a new handle.

The width, 11/16", is actually a tad narrower than 3/4" but as Titan 

never made a chisel in this width we'll call it 3/4"

Titan was part of BHP and made chisels in Tasmania
