Narex, a company based in the small village of Bystrice in the Czech Republic, has been producing world-class tools for a century. Founded in 1919 by local blacksmith Mr. Vaclav Richter, the Narex factory initially focused on manufacturing chisels and gimlets. To this day, Narex is renowned for crafting high-quality, reasonably priced bench chisels.
While Narex has modernized extensively over the past 100 years, the company has retained many traditional manufacturing methods. Chisels are still produced using time-honored drop-forging techniques, which significantly enhance the strength and durability of the steel.
To commemorate its centennial, Narex developed a new line of Richter Extra Chisels, named after the company's founder. This series represents the finest chisels Narex has ever produced in its 100-year history. The Richter Extra chisels are made from the highest-quality materials available, have undergone superior heat treatment, and been manufactured using the most stringent processes.
The new Richter Extra chisels will rival any premium chisel currently available worldwide. The blades are crafted from the finest Chrome Manganese (Cr-V) steel using traditional drop-forging methods. After being hardened and cryogenically treated, the blades are tempered to a minimal hardness of 62 HRc. Subsequent fine-grinding and polishing result in a mirror-like surface with ultra-thin sides, allowing the chisels to reach into the tightest spaces - making them ideal for cleaning out dovetails.
The cryogenic treatment, which cools the steel to −190° C (-310° F) using liquid nitrogen, alters the steel's molecular-level properties, significantly increasing its strength, toughness, and wear resistance.
The chisel handles are made from domestically and responsibly harvested European Ash, known for its strength, toughness, and attractive grain. The ergonomic handles are sanded and then finished with a friction shellac coating 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 Richter Extra chisel set includes the following sizes: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch. These chisels, crafted with uncompromising attention to detail and quality, exemplify Narex's century-long commitment to producing world-class tools.
