The Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisel offers a premium look and feel, combining over 90 years of hand tool expertise with modern innovation. Named after founder Vaclav Richter, these chisels are crafted using superior materials, advanced heat treatment, and precise manufacturing to deliver a high-quality tool.
Bevel-edge chisels are versatile and essential in woodworking. Whether your project involves cutting, shaping, fitting, or joining, you will reach for one frequently. Common uses include shaving or slicing small portions of material by hand, a technique called paring, and carving recesses by striking the chisel with a mallet. To maintain the lifespan of your chisel, keeping the blade sharp is important. Beginners can use a honing guide to ensure consistent sharpening.
The blade is forged from high-quality Cr-V steel, cryogenically processed and tempered to at least 62 HRc. Cryogenic treatment cools the steel to extremely low temperatures, enhancing hardness and durability. The blade is fully ground and polished with super-thin sides suitable for precise work. The handle is crafted from hard ash, sanded and hand-polished, and features a solid stainless steel ferrule. Each chisel is marked with the trademark RICHTER EXTRA.
