Narex Richter Bench Chisels: Quality Old-World Craftsmanship

Narex may be a new name for many U.S. woodworkers, but the brand has a rich history dating back to 1919. To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Narex has introduced its premium line of Richter chisels. These versatile chisels are crafted using a combination of traditional techniques and modern, high-tolerance manufacturing processes and feature premium materials. The knife-edge side bevels enable precise work in tight corners and delicate joinery while maintaining the strength necessary for mallet use.

Features:

• Knife Edge Bevel: These chisels feature fine side bevels that minimize the risk of blowing out the bottom of your pin sockets, ensuring that your hand-cut dovetail joints remain well-defined.
• Durability for Mallet Work: The combination of premium materials and production methods makes these chisels strong enough to withstand heavy cuts, despite their sleek profile.
• Premium Steel: Crafted from high-quality Chrome Manganese (Cr-V) steel and produced by traditional drop-forging, the blades are tempered to a hardness of at least 62 HRc.
• Cryogenically Treated: After initial hardening, the steel undergoes cryogenic treatment, cooling it to -190°C (-310°F) with liquid nitrogen. This process significantly enhances the steel's strength, toughness, and wear resistance by altering its molecular properties.
• European Ash Handle: Renowned for its strength and attractive grain, the handles are made from sustainably sourced timber.
• Stainless Steel Ferrules and Leather Washers: Heavy-duty ferrules and leather washers are designed to prevent handle splits and absorb shocks from mallet strikes.
