handle for odd chisel

[Dtraster]

I need to make a handle for this 2” chisel with an odd “tang” that’s larger around than any I’ve ever seen. 5/8” diameter but fairly short. 1-3/16” long. There are no markings to identify the manufacturer.

Not sure what the handle should look like.

-It resembles, in size, a timber framing slick. Look that up.

I would suggest that is made to go with A single handle that has multiple interchangeable tips. Mine has a metal socket on the handle so that it locks in. It's not made to go in a wooden handle.

Looks like plastic handle chisel without the handle

To be called a slick, they need to be 3" or wider, and 10" or more edge to shoulder.

-Well I did say it just resembled one, I'm not a timber framer. Here's at least one company that calls theirs that are under 3" x 10" a slick.

Those new ones look pathetic compared to the old ones. Never heard of a timber framer recommending one.

In my defense, this is what I was thinking

The set I own has the male portion on the blade, not the female portion as shown in this example.

But, as noted by my like above, I agree with @powerwagon63
