In the small village of Bystrice in the Czech Republic the Narex factory has been making world-class edge tools for 100 years. The Narex factory was founded in 1919 by Mr. Vaclav Richter, a local blacksmith who began producing chisels and gimlets. To this day, Narex is best known for making an extensive range of high quality, reasonably priced bench chisels. While the Narex factory has modernized a great deal over the past century, it still retains many traditional manufacturing methods. Chisels are still produced in the original Bystrice factory site using old-world drop-forging techniques which greatly enhance the strength and durability of the steel. To commemorate its 100 anniversary, Narex developed a new line of Richter Extra premium bench chisels named after their founder. The Richter Extra chisels are the finest chisels Narex has produced in its 100 year history. This line of chisels are made from the finest materials available, have undergone superior heat treatment and been manufactured using the most stringent manufacturing processes. The new line of Richter Extra chisels will rival any premium chisel on the market today.

BLADES:

Richter chisel blades are made from the highest quality Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel using traditional drop-forging methods. Blades are then hardened, cryogenically treated and tempered to achieve a minimal hardness of 62 HRc. Subsequent fine-grinding and polishing ensure a mirror-like surface with ultra-thin sides allowing reach into very tight spaces, making them the perfect chisel for cleaning out dovetails. The front bevel is ground at 24 degrees.

CRYOGENIC TREATMENT:

Following initial hardening, cryogenic treatment is performed which cools the steel down to −190° C (-310° F) using liquid nitrogen. This alters the mechanical properties of the steel at the molecular level greatly increasing its strength, toughness and wear resistance.

HANDLES:

Richter chisel handles are made of domestically and responsibly harvested European Ash known for its strength, toughness and attractive grain. The ergonomic handles are sanded and then receive a friction shellac finish for maximum protection, comfort and control. Solid stainless-steel ferrules protect the handles from splitting, and leather washers absorb the shock of mallet blows.

Tool Roll with 9 pockets:

This sturdy canvas roll is stitched to hold 6 bench chisels with 2 additional pockets for larger tools and one small pocket for a marking knife or carving tool. Edges of the roll are sewn with ​polyester banding to prevent fraying. A ​long tie firmly closes the roll to prevent tools from sliding out. Roll has edge protection flaps sewn on both sides that extend over 7 pockets providing optimal protection for the tools once the pouch is rolled up.

  • Size open: 15" x 12-1/2"
  • Depth of pockets 3-1/2"
  • Contains a total of 9 pockets: 6 pockets 3" wide, 2 pockets 4" wide and one pocket 1-1/2' wide.
