What makes this paring chisel stand out is the new material bm1 made from birch bark. The manufacturing process involves bonding together individual slices of birch bark, which produces a unique natural texture, and applying them to a solid, impact-resistant hornbeam handle core. Bm1 birch bark not only has a pleasantly smooth, warm feel but also boasts unique technical qualities. The ultra-durable natural material is sustainable and ecologically produced, easy-care, water-repellent, and slip-proof even in perspiring hands. The material has an antiseptic effect, as it is antibacterial, antiviral and inhibits fungal growth.

DICTUM

Most of the products we sell as a trading company we produce ourselves. Our brand Herdim has been synonymous with musical instrument making products for more than 100 years. Our design department staff devises our products from scratch - from simple component drawings for the development of hand tools to complex component groups in the field of power tools. All materials such as cutting steels, casting materials or handle materials are selected according to their intended use and produced according to our specifications. If possible, we produce the components for our tools ourselves. Complex manufacturing processes (casting, deep drawing, forging, lasering) are carried out by specialised companies. We monitor the processes and carefully check the finished components. We carry out the final assembly of the individual components, as well as the cutting of wood and the bottling of finishing agents ourselves. Our brands include products for musical instrument making (Herdim), as well as tools and machines (DICTUM). Further DICTUM brands include: Sinensis, Lignea, Kunsuto, RosinLegnin, Robusuta, Shinko…
