Narex Czech-made bevel edged chisels are a fine value. Stained beech handles feature well seated heavy steel ferrules to withstand vigorous mallet work; bolstered tangs are also ferruled for durability. The blades are excellent: fine-grained, nicely tempered chrome-moly steel that takes and holds a beautiful edge without brittleness. Like most edge tools, they'll need sharpening before use; and like most chisels, they'll feel better and work better after you've gentled their long edges and flattened their backs. The set is presented in a wooden box with clasp. Sizes include 6mm (1/4"), 10mm (3/8"), 12mm (1/2"), 16mm (5/8"), 20mm (3/4") & 26mm (1") sizes. Inch equivalents are approximate.
