Suitable for the finest precision joinery, these premium cryogenically treated mortise chisels feature astonishing edge retention, hardwood handles and a mirror finish.
Richter Mortise Chisels are manufactured to be among the finest chisels available for woodworkers. The tang-style blades are made from drop-forged premium chrome-vanadium steel. They are hardened, cryogenically treated and tempered to achieve a minimum hardness of HRC 62. Subsequent fine-grinding and polishing produce a mirror-like surface. The backs are ground flat to the smallest production tolerances, and the front bevel is ground at 24°. Their handles are made of domestically and responsibly harvested European ash that is turned, sanded and polished smooth, with a boiled linseed oil and shellac finish. Solid stainless-steel ferrules and hoops protect the handles from splitting, and leather washers absorb the shock of mallet blows. The set includes 1/8'', 1/4'', 3/8'' and 1/2'' blade sizes.
