Narex Richter Mortise Chisels - 1/2"

For over 105 years, Narex has been crafting world-class edge tools in the small village of Bystrice in the Czech Republic. Founded by blacksmith Mr. Vaclav Richter in 1919, Narex is globally recognized for producing premium-quality, yet reasonably priced tools. The Narex Richter Extra line celebrates the company’s legacy with meticulously designed mortise chisels, named after its founder. The blades of these chisels are made from high-quality Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel using traditional drop-forging methods. They are hardened, cryogenically treated, and tempered to a hardness of 62 HRc, delivering superior durability and wear resistance. With polished, mirror-like surfaces and precisely ground edges, these chisels offer outstanding precision and performance in any woodworking task. Paired with ergonomic European Ash handles, these chisels are designed for comfort and control, while double stainless-steel ferrules and a leather washer ensure long-lasting durability. Perfect for woodworkers who demand the best in performance and craftsmanship. Blade Max Thickness - 1/2" Blade Length - 5-15/16" Handle + Ferrule Length - 5-1/4" OAL - 11-3/16"
