Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisels

Narex is proud to present their premium Richter chisels, named in honor of their founder, Mr. Vaclav Richter, and the 100th anniversary of the company. Richter chisels are made to exacting specifications with narrow lands (sides) that allow easy access to the corners of dovetails without risk of bruising. Superior heat treatment and the highest quality manufacturing processes result in durable edges and unmatched consistency within the steel. Richter chisel handles are made of European Ash, known for its strength, toughness and attractive grain. The ergonomic handles are sanded and hand-polished for comfort and control. Solid stainless steel ferrules protect the handles from splitting, and leather washers absorb the shock of mallet blows.
