We do not recommend using the blade against materials such as wood, extremely hard metals, or concrete.As with all chisels, these blades are designed for pushing and scraping only,and may break if they are used improperly or subjected to a side load. Slice chisels are made from advanced ceramics, which are much harder than steel, and are extremely robust during normal use. Blades come in packs off our.
