These crank-neck paring chisels are made by Narex in the Czech Republic and are of exceptional quality. Due to the offset handle, these chisels can access hard to reach places that other chisels cannot touch. They are also perfect for flush trimming. The blades are bent at a 30 degree angle and are made from fine-grained, nicely tempered chrome-manganese steel and hardened to 59 HRc. The blades are have a slimmer cross section than other bench chisels. Cutting edges are ground at a 25 degree angle. Handles are stained Hornbeam with solid brass ferrules. Blades have well-seated heavy steel tangs.
