Narex Chisel Find

[Oka]

I found a set of chisels from a local guy. 40 bucks 8 Narex Chisels New never been used . The guy was retired and had planned on using them but never did.

95 year edition In the box ........ FYI if you have not used Narex chisels they are an excellent chisel. This Czech company makes a chisels and other things that are as good in quality as Sorby without the cost.... getting these for this price was score. I have the Mortise chisels they sell and was really happy with them.

Nice addition to my entourage of tools.

I have 7 regular Narex chisels that I bought on recommendations from a few other NCWWs. They weren't ready to use out of the box but after prepping them they're fine chisels. Good steel (chromium-manganese) that holds the edge.

Your Limited Edition set currently sells for about $170. You got a good deal.

Jeff, Wow .......... no idea it was that good. ......... I also got a #2 Stanley planer is excellent shape for 20 bucks ........... it was a good Friday

Yeah, I had the same experience with the mortise chisels, I has to prep each took 10-15 min per chisel to get the back perfectly flat and the edge honed. They do hold an edge.
