About this item

• In honor of its centennial, Narex introduced a new series of chisels, bearing the name of their founder, Richter. These chisels are the highest quality Narex has ever produced in its 100-year history. They are crafted from the best available materials, undergo exceptional heat treatment, and are manufactured using the most rigorous processes.
• Richter chisel blades are crafted from top-notch Chrome Manganese (Cr-V) steel through traditional drop-forging techniques. The blades are then hardened, cryogenically treated, and tempered to achieve a minimal hardness of 62 HRc. Following the initial hardening, cryogenic treatment is performed, cooling the steel down to −190° C (-310o F) using liquid nitrogen. This changes the mechanical properties of the steel at the molecular level, significantly increasing its strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
• Subsequent fine-grinding and polishing guarantee a mirror-like surface with ultra-thin sides, enabling them to reach into very tight spaces, making them an ideal chisel for cleaning out dovetails.
• Chisel handles are crafted from locally and responsibly harvested European Ash, known for its strength, toughness, and attractive grain. The ergonomic handles are sanded and receive a friction shellac finish for maximum protection, comfort, and control. Solid stainless-steel ferrules protect the handles from splitting, and leather washers absorb the shock of mallet blows.
• The set includes the following sizes: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch.
