Description
The Narex Wood Line Plus Premium Bevel Edge Chisel Set 853200, 6-10-12-16-20-26 mm, 6-pcs has a blade made of Cr-Mn steel, also known as Chrome-Manganese. This carbon steel was developed by Narex itself in the Czech Republic and specially designed for tools that are used intensively. This steel is treated to 59 HRC using a unique hardening process that results in an even steel structure and good sharpness retention. Despite this, it is still surprisingly easy to sharpen yourself! Cr-Mn steel does have some rust resistance due to the addition of chromium and manganese, but it can rust or discolour on contact with moisture. Dry your tools well after use and occasionally rub them with a little oil to prevent rust.
Narex began in 1919 as Václav Richter’s factory for high-quality woodworking tools. Before the brand grew into what it is today, it went through many setbacks and changes. Yet the company remained true to its core: making tools that woodworkers all over the world can appreciate. Today, after 100 years of innovation and a complete privatisation in 1994, Narex in Bystřice produces more than 1,500 items with around 100 dedicated craftsmen. Today, Narex’s production is largely machine-made, but the cutting edges and final ‘finishing touches’ on the tools are still done by hand. The result? High-quality tools with more than excellent value for money.
