For over 105 years, the Narex factory in Bystrice, Czech Republic, has been producing world-class edge tools, combining modern advancements with traditional craftsmanship. Founded by local blacksmith Mr. Vaclav Richter in 1919, Narex is renowned for delivering high-quality yet affordable tools. To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Narex introduced the Richter Extra premium bench chisels, followed by the launch of the Richter Extra paring chisels, designed to rival the best paring chisels available today.

The Richter Extra paring chisels feature blades crafted from high-quality Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, using traditional drop-forging techniques. Hardened, cryogenically treated, and tempered to a hardness of 62 HRc, these chisels offer exceptional strength, durability, and wear resistance. The ultra-thin blades, polished to a mirror-like surface, allow precise cuts in tight spaces. Paired with long ergonomic European Ash handles, designed for greater control without the need for a mallet, these chisels are ideal for fine woodworking.
