NAREX RICHTER CHISEL 3/4"

The RICHTER EXTRA Bevel Edge Chisel is a premium professional woodworking chisel designed for exceptional cutting precision, edge durability, and comfort. Created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the factory founded by Václav Richter, the RICHTER EXTRA series represents the manufacturer's finest woodworking chisel craftsmanship. Its finely ground and polished blade features ultra-thin sides that minimize cutting resistance and provide excellent access to tight joints and confined spaces, making it ideal for detailed joinery, precise trimming, and fine woodworking.

Forged from premium chrome-vanadium (Cr-V) steel, the blade undergoes specialized cryogenic treatment using liquid nitrogen at temperatures as low as -190°C. This process enhances the steel's hardness and toughness, producing a cutting edge hardened to 62 HRC for excellent edge durability. The ergonomic handle is crafted from hand-polished ash wood, reinforced with a solid stainless steel ferrule, and fitted with a leather pad to absorb shock from mallet strikes. Combining advanced blade technology with traditional craftsmanship, this professional bevel edge chisel is backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty.
