Narex Czech Steel Mortise Chisel Set: 6 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm

This set of three mortise chisels is produced by a small tool manufacturer in the Czech Republic, and it is of exceptional quality. The blades are made from fine-grained, nicely tempered chrome-manganese steel and hardened to Rc 59, which allows them to take and hold an excellent edge. They are accurately ground, with a 25-degree bevel, and the blade widths taper by 0.030 inches from tip to shoulder for sidewall clearance. The thickness of the blades tapers from 3/8 inches at the tip to 1/2 inches at the shoulder.

The set includes three different sizes of chisels: 6 mm (1/4 inches), 10 mm (3/8 inches), and 12 mm (1/2 inches). The blades are 5 7/8 inches long, and the overall length of each chisel is 12 inches. The handles are made from stained European Beechwood, are 6 1/8 inches long, and have a diameter of 1 1/2 inches, providing a good, firm grip. The blades have a well-seated, heavy steel tang, and the handles have two steel ferrules to withstand heavy blows from a mallet.

This set of mortise chisels represents an excellent value for a high-quality tool. They come in retail packaging only, as they are produced by a small tool manufacturer in the Czech Republic. The blades' fine-grained, tempered steel and hardened to Rc 59 ensure that they can take and hold an excellent edge, while the accurate grinding and tapered design provide effective sidewall clearance. The sturdy, comfortable handles with steel reinforcements make these chisels well-suited for heavy-duty use.
