Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisel 1 1/2" (38mm)

Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisels deliver premium quality, combining over 90 years of hand tool expertise with advanced manufacturing techniques. Named after founder Vaclav Richter, this range showcases the very best in materials, heat treatment, and precision engineering to create chisels of exceptional performance and durability.

Bevel-edge chisels are versatile and essential for woodworking. Whether you are cutting, shaping, fitting, or joining, this tool is one you will continually reach for. They excel at shaving or slicing small portions of material by hand (paring) and carving recesses with a mallet. To ensure the longevity of your chisel, maintaining a sharp edge is essential. For beginners, a honing guide is recommended to help achieve consistent results when sharpening.

Each Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisel blade is forged from high-quality Cr-V steel, cryogenically processed and tempered to a minimum of 62 HRc. The cryogenic treatment cools the steel to extremely low temperatures, increasing hardness and edge retention. Every blade is finely ground, polished, and features super-thin sides for superior sidewall clearance, even in the most detailed work.

The handles are crafted from domestic hard ash, sanded and hand-polished for a smooth finish. A solid stainless steel ferrule ensures durability, while a leather washer absorbs shock during mallet work. Each chisel is proudly marked with the trademark RICHTER EXTRA, representing its premium status.
