This chisel’s been through it. I’d guess it was longer at the start.
Handle not original.
Unfortunately, someone ground both sides of the edge; probably used as a wedge (wood splitter). I’ll have to grind off a full centimeter before doing anything.
First a citric soak to see how much hardened length is still there.

Zombie movies and tv shows don't seem to, for the most part, have knowledge of zombie movies and tv shows in them. There was one that referred to zombies as "Romeros" which was a nice touch, but mostly the folks never reference that body of fiction. Also, There should be more bicycles in zombie movies.
Not so with time travel stories. In some it's also an unawareness thing, but many "hang a lampshade" on it to explain to the audience as a shorthand for the "rules" of this story.

Il Pentagono avvia un Audit su Microsoft. Si indaga sugli ingegneri cinesi e su presunte backdoor
Il Pentagono ha inviato una “lettera di preoccupazione” a Microsoft documentando una “violazione di fiducia” in merito all’utilizzo da parte dell’azienda di ingegneri cinesi per la manutenzione di sistemi informatici governativi sensibili, ha annunciato questa settimana il Segretario alla Difesa Pete Hegseth.
Allo stesso tempo, il Dipartimento della Difesa sta avviando un’indagine per verificare se qualcuno di questi dipendenti abbia compromesso la sicurezza nazionale.
“L’impiego di cittadini cinesi per la manutenzione degli ambienti cloud del Dipartimento della Difesa è finito”, ha affermato Hegseth in una dichiarazione video. “Abbiamo inviato una lettera formale di preoccupazione a Microsoft documentando questa violazione della fiducia e stiamo richiedendo un audit di terze parti sul programma di scorta digitale di Microsoft, incluso il codice e le richieste dei cittadini cinesi”.
“Hanno inserito qualcosa nel codice di cui non eravamo a conoscenza? Lo scopriremo”, ha aggiunto Hegseth.
Le azioni sono state intraprese in risposta a una recente indagine che ha svelato il sistema di “scorta digitale” di Microsoft, in cui personale statunitense con autorizzazioni di sicurezza supervisiona ingegneri stranieri, compresi quelli in Cina. ProPublica ha scoperto che gli addetti alla scorta spesso non possiedono le competenze necessarie per supervisionare efficacemente ingegneri con competenze tecniche molto più avanzate.
Il colosso della tecnologia ha sviluppato questo accordo per aggirare il requisito del Dipartimento della Difesa secondo cui le persone che gestiscono dati sensibili devono essere cittadini statunitensi o residenti permanenti.
“Il programma è stato progettato per rispettare le norme sugli appalti, ma ha esposto il dipartimento a rischi inaccettabili”, ha affermato Hegseth in un annuncio video pubblicato su X.
La lettera serve da avvertimento a Microsoft, che ha dichiarato nei suoi report finanziari di ricevere “ingenti entrate da contratti governativi”. È meno grave di una “cura notice”, che potrebbe portare alla risoluzione dei contratti Microsoft se i problemi non vengono risolti.
Il dipartimento non ha reso pubblica la lettera e non ha risposto alla richiesta di ProPublica di averne una copia

There's always something more urgent: I've been known for a long time that sooner or later I'd feel prompted to switch from #github to somewhere else (since 2018 at least!), but I've been postponing and only very slowly flirting with the idea... That didn't work too bad for me: if I had rushed into it I would have probably migrated to #gitlab, before knowing about the more objectionable sides to it. In the end, 2025 was the year I finally acted upon the urge to move. I did not do a very thorough analysis of the alternative hosts - what I have been reading about them along the years felt enough, and I easily decided to choose #codeberg. Being hasty like that, alas, was a mistake: I just now found - during this slow and time-consuming process of deciding what and how to migrate - that there is a low repository limit on codeberg: "The owner has already reached the limit of 100 repositories." I'm not complaining, mind you, and those "lucky 100" that are already there will stay - at least as a sort of backup. But this means that codeberg is not for me - and so this time I turn to you, the #mastodon community.
What github alternative, not self-hosted, should I move my >100 projects into?

Flipping Bits: Memory Errors in the Machine by Taylor Campbell
We've all heard stories of the dreaded cosmic ray angrily flipping bits in your RAM. But how much does it matter, really? And, more importantly, how do you tell?
This talk will cover an overview of hardware architecture around detecting and correcting memory errors, software support for handling them and other types of hardware errors, and stories of memory errors in the real world.
And, if the stars align (specifically, the cosmic-ray-generating supernovae), perhaps we'll have a live demo.

in reply to wedge • • •Looks like what I have there, perhaps, is a ‘fermoir’. Hat tip to the fellas in thread for clearing that up.
Stork’s dictionary has an entry for the typical French models.
justinstorck.free.fr/f/fermoir…
Mine looks to be like figure 1608. It’s basically a big chisel, square-sided, and shallow-beveled on both sides of the cutting edge. A common use for these, for example, was to initially dress rough wood before further refinement with a fore plane. Also to clear waste out of blind mortises. Etc.
Fermoir - J. Justin Storck
justinstorck.free.frwedge
in reply to wedge • • •The good news, if it really is a fermoir, and not a hack-made one from a good chisel: I don’t have to grind this down.
But, it would sensibly seem to me that a chisel with a two-sided bevel edge would have an iron that tapers similarly from bolster to edge, like a dagger. Mine, however, has one flat side along tool axis, like the bottom of a chisel, and one tapered side, like a chisel top. Is that normal for a proper French fermoir? I don’t know.
wedge
in reply to wedge • • •Need to find a Coulaux catalogue, I guess. In the meantime, this remains a fermoir until proven otherwise. I’ve got other big chisels.
Nosban also defines the fermoir back in the early 1800s (merci, Nico). At that point the blades were made of three layers fused together; two iron on the outsides and a steel in the middle for the edge.
That further suggests to me that a true fermoir would have tops/bottoms equally tapered like daggers, not sided differently.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
wedge
in reply to wedge • • •The fermoir is bathed and cleaned.
You can see right out of the citric bath, before finishing, where the hardened metal (darker) ends, just before the stamped mark.
That chelate comes off easy with a brass brush. Then a little filing to tame the bumps and dings (I introduced some scratches, boo). Then successively 240 (to shallow the little pits), 320, 400 grit.
Ready for a new handle and edge.
