Narex Richter Bench Chisels

Check the current price on Amazon

Czech-made chisels that take a keen edge and keep it far longer than hardware-store sets. Flat backs, crisp side bevels, comfortable hornbeam handles.

  • Tough steel that holds an edge through hardwood
  • Low side bevels get into dovetail corners
  • Backs arrive close to flat — less lapping
  • Hornbeam handles you can strike with a mallet
