Narex Richter Mortise Chisel

Narex Richter Mortise Chisel: Built to Chop Clean, Accurate Joints Under Heavy Mallet Work

Cut strong, precise mortises with a chisel that's engineered to take a pounding. The Narex Richter Mortise Chisel brings together more than 90 years of hand tool expertise and modern innovation, giving you a tool you can drive hard and rely on joint after joint. Named after founder Vaclav Richter, it's made from superior materials with advanced heat treatment, so you get clean walls and crisp corners every time you reach for it.

Mortise chisels earn their keep on classic mortise and tenon joinery, and this one is built for exactly that. The blade is forged from highly alloyed Cr-Mn steel, cryogenically processed and tempered to at least 62 HRc for outstanding hardness and edge retention. It arrives fully ground and sharpened, ready to work straight from the box, with thin blade sides that give you clearance along the mortise walls. The domestic hard ash handle is sanded and hand-polished for a secure grip, and the solid stainless steel ferrule is designed to endure heavy mallet strikes without complaint.
