These dovetail chisels are made by Narex of the Czech Republic. The blades are made from fine-grained, nicely tempered chrome-manganese steel and hardened to 59 HRc. The blade edges are ground with acute 35 degree angles to provide excellent clearance into the tight corners of dovetails. The primary bevels are ground at 25 degrees. Blades have a hollow on the back similar to those found on premier Japanese chisels. Handles are stained beech with 2 antique solid brass ferrules. The blades take and hold an excellent edge. As with all edge tools, they'll need final honing before use.
