Narex Richter Bevel-Edge Chisels
Narex’s Richter line of chisels are the best the company makes. Their beveled side profiles come to a refined knife edge for fine joinery work, yet are still substantial enough to withstand mallet strikes.
The Narex name in chisels may not be common to every woodworker in the U.S., but the company's heritage goes deep. The history reaches back to 1919 when blacksmith Vaclav Richter began manufacturing chisels and gimlets in the village of Bystřice u Benešova in what is now the Czech Republic. As a way to honor their 100-year anniversary, Narex produced its extra premium line of Richter chisels. They are made with high-end materials and using both traditional techniques and modern high-tolerance manufacturing processes. Narex Richter chisels are great all-around tools that perform equally well for delicate joinery but are still strong enough for mallet use.
