Overview
The Bon 11-201 is a masonrychisel priced at $29.55 that holds a 4.4-star rating from 237 verified owners. With 100 units bought in the last month and a sizable review base, it shows steady demand from working masons.
The chisel pairs a high carbon steel blade with a hardened steel handle and weighs 1.9 pounds, the heaviest in this group. High carbon steel takes a good cutting edge for masonry, while the hardened handle is built to absorb repeated hammer strikes without mushrooming as quickly as softer steel. The 1.9 pound mass carries strong energy into each blow, which helps when splitting and chipping dense material. The size is listed only as a single one-size unit, so a specific edge width is not published.
At $29.55 with 237 reviews and a 4.4-star average, the 11-201 is a rugged choice for heavier masonry work. ToolHandle is an Amazon Associate and earns from qualifying purchases, which does not influence this ranking.

Performance notes
The 1.9 pound high carbon steel head and hardened steel handle make the 11-201 a heavy-duty masonrychisel for splitting and chipping dense material. The mass drives the edge hard, and the hardened striking surface resists mushrooming under repeated blows. The extra weight is a tradeoff for light or overhead work.
