Narex

Narex chisels are manufactured in the Czech Republic with well-hardened chrome-manganese steel that sharpens readily and holds an edge well. They are consistently praised for their quality-to-price ratio, comfortable handles, and availability in a range of types from bench to mortise to carving chisels.

Bench chisels have a thinner, wider blade suited for paring, trimming, and light chopping. Mortise chisels have a thicker, narrower blade designed to withstand the heavy mallet blows and lateral levering forces involved in chopping deep mortises. The Narex Imperial Mortise Chisels are purpose-built for this heavy-duty task.

The Narex dovetail chisels have a skewed blade profile that allows the cutting edge to register fully in the acute corners of dovetail sockets and pins, clearing waste that a standard bench chisel cannot reach without marring the adjacent surface.

For mortising and heavy joint chopping, the Narex Premium Large Bench Mallet provides mass and control. For work requiring less rebound and more consistent strike energy, the Narex Premium Deadblow Mallet is a good choice.

Palm chisels are short-handled chisels designed to be pushed by hand rather than struck with a mallet. The Narex 8-piece palm chisel set is well-suited for light carving, detail fitting, and working in confined areas where a standard bench chisel and mallet are too large to control precisely.

A burnisher is a hardened steel rod used to turn a burr (hook) on a card scraper or cabinet scraper. Drawing the burnisher across the scraper edge at a slight angle creates the cutting burr that allows scrapers to shave thin ribbons from wood surfaces. The Narex burnisher is sized and hardened for this purpose.

The Narex 5-piece starter carving chisel set provides an introductory selection of carving gouges and chisels suited to relief carving and basic chip carving. Check the product page for the specific profiles and sweep numbers included in the set.

Narex chisels respond well to standard sharpening methods: flatten the back on a waterstone or diamond plate, then sharpen the bevel to your preferred angle. The Infinity Tools learning center has technique guides on sharpening hand tools. The 5-piece cabinet scraper set with burnisher and diamond file also provides useful sharpening accessories.
