• • For more than 100 years, Narex has been forging chisels in the Czech town of Bystrice. Each blade is drop-forged from premium alloy steel, precisely heat-treated, and ground to hold a razor edge through real shop use. The result is a chisel that feels balanced in the hand, bites cleanly into woods, and sharpens easily without babying. Narex strikes the sweet spot serious woodworkers want: old-world craftsmanship, modern consistency, and performance that rivals boutique tools at a fraction of the price. These are chisels built to work, not to just look good on a shelf.

• • Narex beveled edge bench chisels are the workhorse of the chisel family. They can handle everything from chopping dovetails and fitting joints to trimming plugs flush. If you're looking for your first set of do-it-all woodworking chisels, start here!

• • Mortise chisels are heavy-duty, specialized tools made for cutting deep, square mortises. They have thick, rectangular blades that stand up to mallet blows and prying, so they stay straight where a bench chisel would bend.

• • A paring chisel is a light, thin chisel made for cutting by hand. Beveled sides keep it slim and easy to steer into tight spots other chisels can't reach. You use it to take off fine shavings and leave a finished surface, cleaning dovetail sides, fitting tenon shoulders, trimming plugs, and similar work.
