most wood chisels have a beveled edge-- this edge helps the wood to pry away from the chisel surface-- most wood chisels that I have worked with have been made with an automatic bevel in them-- even a cold chisel has a bevel but the cold chisel is used for steel and concrete.

Is there a diffrenece between a bevel edge and a firmer chisel?

There are various ways to classify chisels: Type of duty: Framing or mortise, Paring, Firmer. Length of blade: Butt, Pocket, Mill. Abnormal width of blade: Slick. Edges of blade: Plain, Bevel. Method of attaching the handle: Tang, Socket. Shape of the blade: Flat, Round (gouge), L (corner). So a bevel edge chisel has bevel edges and the term firmer applies to a medium duty tool, a more substantial tool than the paring chisel for general work such as paring or light mortising. There are descriptions of the various types of chisel along with drawings at `Sharp Edge Cutting Tools - Chisels' - http://www.inquirewithin.biz/Vol1/Tools/cutting_tools/chisels.htm.
