help Narex Classic Chisel Set FAQ
Are Narex Classic chisels forged or stamped?
Narex Classic chisels are drop-forged from high-quality Chrome-Manganese steel. This traditional forging process ensures the blade is highly durable and holds a sharp edge significantly better than cheaper stamped tools.
Where are Narex chisels manufactured?
Narex chisels are manufactured in the Czech Republic, with production based out of a factory in the historic town of Pilsen. The company has been producing fine woodworking hand tools there for many decades, carrying on regional European tool-making traditions.
Do Narex Classic chisels come pre-honed from the factory?
While Narex grinds a basic bevel on the chisels, they typically require additional honing on a sharpening stone before making fine cuts. Most woodworkers recommend flattting the back of the blade and refining the edge to ensure razor-sharp performance.
What handle material is used on the Narex Classic chisels?
The handles of the Narex Classic line are traditionally made from tough, shock-absorbing European Hornbeam wood. The wood is treated with a protective wax finish to provide a comfortable and reliable grip during extended paring or mallet work.
