## Overview

The Narex Richter Bevel Edge Chisel Set of 5 combines advanced cryogenic steel treatment with traditional ash wood handles to deliver a professional-grade woodworking toolset. Featuring five bevel-edged chisels ranging from 1/4" to 1", each tool is precision-hardened for superior sharpness and durability, housed in a stylish gift box. Designed for millennial pros who demand both performance and aesthetic, this set offers unmatched value and craftsmanship in hand tools.

## Description

Right after initial hardening, cryogenic treatment cools the steel down to very low temperatures by using liquid nitrogen to as low as −190 °C. This completes transformation of austenite, which increases both the hardness and toughness of the steel. Named after our founder Mr. Vaclav Richter, these chisels represent the highest quality of our manufacturing processes combining unique materials, heat treatment and machining in order to produce the finest tool for woodworkers. Every chisel is marked by our trademark RICHTER EXTRA.

Review: Came Flat and Sharp, stayed that way - These took very little lapping to bring the back to absolute flatness (any new chisel will take some) especially compared to standard Narex. They stay sharp way longer than standard Narex, without much fuss honing on diamond plates/compound. They take a blistering sharp edge when honed and stropped on green compound. The primary bevel being a few ticks under 25 degrees makes for easy paring cuts including in end grain but didn't exhibit the tendency to chip harder steel sometimes do when I tested busting through some glue lines and knots. Bevelled edges taper down to minimal lands which along with the slim cross section make for easy access into most recesses. Compared to a lie nielsen, which is about 50% thicker at the base, it's hard not to feel like the slimmer cross section of these Narex might be more delicate but, in use, I have not noticed a difference in flex or deflection perhaps owing to the greater hardness of the steel, which typically comes with greater stiffness. Perhaps it's the best of both worlds where they can probably take the abuse but the feel reminds me not to be ham fisted. The handle too is well shaped and finished and most comfortable in a push/paring grip, as opposed to optimized for chopping down grip like a stanley 750 or lie nielsen, but works well for all bench chisel tasks/orientations. Your grip preferences, more than anything else, may determine whether you simply like or love these as that feel in hand is a very personal and subjective. Summary: Good fit and finish. Steel is great. Shape is comfortable and versatile. Feel in hand should be good to great, depending on preferences. Value is unmatched as I haven't used anything comparable that doesn't cost 50%-100% more.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does the term "extra" indicate? (narex richter extra bevel edge chisels). not seeing this term usedby other suppliers to describe these chisels.**
A: It means they go the extra mile vs their standard and so-called "premium" lines of chisels, purportedly in homage to their founder.  By comparison:
-- The steel is cryro treated to keep it tough enough to resist chipping at 3-4 points higher hardness and 2-3 degrees lower edge angle
-- The handles have a more versatile shape and better finish on a nicer wood vs stained, clunky, and occasionally misaligned
-- The side bevels extend further and have a more even grind
-- The steel is etched and polished vs left rough ground, painted, and lacquered
-- The ferule/socket feels stronger and stiffer in comparable sizes

All in all, they compare quite well with competitors that cost twice as much.  You'd be able to pick based on your personal ergonomic preferences rather than fit, finish, or feature trade offs.

**Q: Are the handles different sizes?**
A: Nope. One uniform handle size/shape and if you like a paring grip predominantly, it's a good one

**Q: For those who have sharpened these successfully, what stone type (water, ceramic, diamond) did you use and what brand and grit?**
A: I use a similar method to the Rob Cosman method, Trend Diamond 1000, Norton 5000 Water Stone then Shapton Ceramic 16,000.  I can tell they are harder than the IBC and Stanley Sweetheart 750’s.  I couldn’t take the handles constantly falling out of my socket chisels, (LN and Stanley) so I bought this set to be my primary bench chisels in my Garage Workshop.

**Q: Are these sized true to imperial measurements or are they actually metric sizes  (e.g. is the 1/2" chisel is a true 1/2" width or is it 12mm)?**
A: They are all marked with imperial measurements, although I have not measured them to confirm.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Chisels
*by D***Y on August 2, 2025*

Excellent quality chisels, sharp right out of the box too!. Storage box is very nice as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Possibly the highest quality chisel set available for the money.
*by M***Y on July 17, 2020*

Just received the chisel set today. I like the superior blade polish, the excellent initial sharpness, and the ash handles (likely to be tough). The claimed high alloy hardness, if consistently true, argues for longer edge retention. I miss the size markings that are on the blades of my softer-alloy Narex chisel set. Also, the tang and pressed-steel tang support is a bit larger on the older set. These small differences may prove to be unimportant. I have not put the new chisel set to work so cannot speak to edge retention and ease of sharpening. These would influence my rating after longer use. Overall, I expect that Narex has created another winner. Added: I will compare this set with my fifty-two dollar Neiko chisel set. A half hour ago, I chamfered the end grain on a short pine board. Both brands: Neiko and Narex Richter, cut smoothly and easily. I had first sharpened both. Why should you buy this set or, conversely, the Neiko set, which costs less than a third as much? The Neiko set comes in a professional looking aluminum case with hinged top cover. There are nine chisels, so if a larger variety of widths is important to you, then the Neiko set is better in this regard than the five piece Narex Richter set. The Neiko set has attractive plastic handles that fit my hand (perhaps not yours) as well as the wood handles on the Narex set. If you pound the chisel through hardwood, the Neiko set may be more durable, but that is only a conjecture, not proven fact. Machining on the Neiko set is functional but crude, with sharply abrupt side flank edges and visible machining marks. The Narex blades are better finished, have far thinner side flanks, and give an immediate impression of care and quality. The handles are good quality appearing wood, well finished. Hardness and edge retention are the big unknowns. The Neiko blades are labeled chrome vanadium. So are the Narex Richter blades, with the added claim of being cryogenic cold hardened to 62 HRC (one of several standard measurement systems for steel hardness). This is much harder than previous Narex non-Richter chisels which have commonly claimed 58-59 hardness. I believe that edge retention is closely related to metal hardness, but some exceptions may exist, as in the highest priced Lee Valley chisels which claim a superior proprietary alloy. Thoughts: For low and moderate chisel work loads, the Neiko set is a very attractive buy with the advantage of nine chisel widths. For higher workloads, the Narex Richter set is likely to go longer between sharpening. I have both sets, both work well, but I reach now for the Narex Richter set and find that five chisels are enough for most work. I have other, older and partly mismatched, chisels that satisfy the random need for a different chisel width than is in the Narex Richter set. Later. Since I bought the Narex Ricter five piece chisel set, the company has released two more widths. I have purchased these. They seem of identical, excellent quality. To store the full set, I made a tailored cross bar with notches that fits across a shop window. You can find directions for crossbar chisel holders on the internet. Try a general search and YouTube. I find it a very convenient storage method.
