Quality Old-World Craftsmanship

Narex may be a new brand to many U.S. woodworkers, but it actually originated in 1919 when blacksmith Vaclav Richter began manufacturing chisels and gimlets in the village of Bystřice u Benešova in the modern-day Czech Republic. In recognition of their 100-year anniversary, Narex has produced its extra premium line of Richter chisels. These are great all-around chisels, made with premium materials using a combination of traditional techniques and modern high-tolerance manufacturing processes. Knife edge side bevels allow use in tight corners and delicate joinery, but are still strong enough for mallet use.

Infinity Tools offers Narex Richter Chisels in a money saving 8-Piece Set sized 1/8" to 1-½". Available with (00-703) or without (00-703.NTR) an attractive 14-pocket Leather Tool Roll for convenient travel and safe storage, with additional pockets accommodating further additions to your tool collection. The chisels are also sold separately.

Features:

  • Eight Sizes Included — 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4" and 1-1/2"
  • Knife Edge Bevels — Don’t worry about blowing out the bottom of your pin socket cleaning up those hand cut dovetails, these chisels have fine side bevels so your joints stay well defined.
  • Still Tough Enough for Mallet Work — Premium materials and processes give these chisels the strength to withstand heavy cuts despite their sleek profile.
  • Premium Steel — Made from Highest quality Chrome Manganese (Cr-V) steel using traditional drop-forging methods. Blades are tempered to achieve a minimal hardness of 62 HRc.
  • Cryogenically Treated — Following initial hardening, cryogenic treatment is performed which cools the steel down to −190° C (-310° F) using liquid nitrogen. This alters the mechanical properties of the steel at the molecular level greatly increasing its strength, toughness and wear resistance.
  • European Ash Handles — Widely recognized for its strength and attractive grain, the wood for these handles is harvested using sustainable timber management practices.
  • Stainless Steel Ferrules and Leather Washers — These heavy-duty ferrules and leather washers prevent handle splits and absorb shock from mallet blows.
  • 14-Pocket Leather Tool Roll (Optional) — Keep your chisels safe, and service your ever-increasing tool addiction with room to grow. Select Item #00-702 to include the tool roll.
  • Edge Guards Included — Nobody’s perfect, even the most careful of us has probably dropped an edge tool at one point or another and ruined a newly sharpened blade. Luckily, each of these chisels comes with an edge guard to protect it from damage when it’s not in the tool roll, or simply for those who prefer not to use the tool roll. Enjoy a potential respite from the tyranny of your sharpening stones the next time you’re a real butterfingers.

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 original Richter factory.

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.
