Narex - Narex Western-Style Bench Chisel
The Narex bench chisel's reasonable price makes it a good values among Western-style chisels
Sep 01, 2008
The beech handle, with a hoop and ferrule, is easy to grasp whether chopping with one hand or paring with two. The back of the chrome manganese blade was nice and flat and the edges were beveled sufficiently for excellent dovetailing. The cutting edge held up quite well, and at $6, this is the obvious choice for best value among Western-style chisels.
Narex bench chisels are available at Highland Woodworking.
