Narex Richter Extra Bevel Edge Chisel (1/2 inch)

About this item

• Narex has released a new line of Richter Extra Chisels in honor of their 100th anniversary. These chisels are the best ones Narex has ever made. They are crafted with high-quality materials, undergo superior heat treatment, and are manufactured using strict processes.
• The blades of the Richter chisels are made from Chrome Manganese steel using traditional drop-forging techniques. They are hardened, cryogenically treated, and tempered to achieve a minimum hardness of 62 HRc. Cryogenic treatment involves cooling the steel to -190°C using liquid nitrogen, improving its strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
• Afterwards, the blades are finely ground and polished to create a smooth, mirror-like surface. The chisels have thin sides, making them ideal for reaching into tight spaces and cleaning out dovetails.
• The handles of the chisels are made from responsibly harvested European Ash. This wood is known for its strength, toughness, and attractive grain. The handles are sanded and receive a friction shellac finish for maximum protection, comfort, and control. The handles are also equipped with solid stainless-steel ferrules to prevent splitting, and leather washers to absorb the shock of mallet blows.
