Narex 863010 Bevel Edge Chisel Set 4 Piece

Overview

A set of woodworking chisels from Narex spanning four widths, 6mm, 12mm, 20mm and 26mm, with alloy steel blades and wood handles. The range covers narrow detail cuts through wider paring work in one purchase.

Covering four widths in one set means the narrower 6mm chisel handles detail and joinery work like dovetails, while the wider 20mm and 26mm chisels suit paring and larger stock removal. Alloy steel blades are a common middle ground in chisel making, offering reasonable edge retention without the cost of premium tool steel. Narex is a Czech maker known in woodworking circles for chisels at this kind of price point.

• Set of four chisels
• Widths of 6mm, 12mm, 20mm and 26mm
• Alloy steel blades
• Wood handles

Who it's for

Woodworkers building out a chisel set who want a spread of widths for joinery and shaping in one purchase. Less relevant for anyone who only needs a single width or already owns a full set.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Alloy steel blades hold an edge well enough for regular woodworking use, though they need periodic honing like any carbon or alloy steel edge tool. Having four widths on hand means fewer tool changes mid project, since narrow cuts and wider paring work are covered by the same set. Wood handles take mallet strikes directly, so grip feel depends on hand size.
