Metal gouge that is curved in three sides at one of the ends and has a handle on the other end. Bone chisels are used for carving small pieces out of the bones to reach the inner soft part. They are also used to score, cut, scrape, clean and sculpt bone. Bone chisels are made from French stainless steel so they last longer without turning blunt.
