These chisels are by Narex from the Czech Republic and are of exceptional quality. The blades are made from fine-grained, nicely tempered chrome-manganese steel and hardened to 59 HRc. The blades take and hold an excellent edge. The blades are accurately ground and have a slim cross section. These skew chisels are designed to cut cleanly and easily when trimming tenon shoulders and dovetails, when getting into corners and when dressing end grain. Blades are ground to a 30 degree skew angle and have a 25 degree bevel. Handles are stained hornbeam and have solid brass ferrules.
