      You can't judge the flatness of the back by its shiny finish. The reason is the deviations from flatness that matter in precision woodworking aren't large enough to impart visible distortion to the reflected image when the reflecting surface is so small.
      The Richter are great chisels, but their backs aren't flat, even though they shine like a mirror. The out-of-flatness is concentrated very near the cutting edge and is probably the result of the buffing they do to get that mirror shine. Precisely because the rest of the back is very flat, extending the flatness all the way to the edge is a lot of work. Except for this detail, the Richters are excellent.

    I just recently bought the Richter chisels. I was just about to buy the IBC chisels, but the Richter's are just amazing. Really consistent, beautiful to work with. I was concerned about these at first because I saw you using the Sweethart chisels in one of your videos and thought I might have made the wrong purchase. WRONG, I love these Narex chisels, no one would go wrong with these. Thanks for all you do.

    I bought the Narex Ritcher set from Taylor tools about 8 months ago. I watched wood by Wright where he does an extremely comprehensive chisel review with many different brands & he chose these Narex Ritchers. I love these chisels they are a pleasure to work with I find myself grabbing them for clean up jobs cause they hold there edge so well.

    I just replaced a set Stanley chisels for Narex Richter chisels because of the problem you described about the Stanley's I would take a chisel off of the wall and the chisel would fall off the handle and on to the cement floor. Which required sharping again. Thanks for the review!

    Wow, thanks for the review, compare and contrast style.
    I love my Narex morticing chisels. I will definitely be looking into the Narex-Richtor chisel set. I love the fine/small side edge. Seems like a no-brainer unless a person wants to spend a bloody fortune on Japanese chisels with even smaller to no sides, or time grinding the sides down on a set of anothe brand of chisels. I just hope that if someone choses the grind down option that they have lots of time and a wet-bath grinder to keep from over heating and ruining the temper.

      Paul Sellers is a very well-regarded teacher and craftsman (check out his channel) and he recommends a $10 four-piece chisel set from the local (UK) grocery store! Of course you're going to need to flatten and sharpen them like any chisel, and the steel may not be RC 62, but his reputation is built using these cheap chisels as his go-to set.

      A few years back, I lucked into a set of Narex mortice chisels with the big hornbeam handles. They're lovely to use. Just watch out for the edges. Mine were second hand and had light surface rust. When I polished them up, I inadvertently sharpened the 90° edges. I didn't know that you could cut yourself in a 90° edge until then. Never felt a thing until I saw blood in the job!

  • @richb419
    @richb419 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    HI Jonathan, you are correct the heat treatment truly makes a difference as a custom knife maker of the past I have found some incredible advantages of cryo tempering. it makes the steel far tougher when you do a second quench in a sub zero bath, I have used dry ice. the Rockwell increases from ( the what I like to see for a knife of 59) to around 64 then you must re-temper back to 59 this will cause the metal to be tougher and to hold an edge much longer. people don't do this because of cost and time.
    If you can afford those chisels you won't be dissapointed I'm sure.

      @@TheVimeo As noted below, the PMV11 imperically finished higher in James tests, but at three times the cost of Richters. I personally own Richters and like them for the cost, hardness (less sharpening ;-) and narrow edges. But, I was a little disappointed with how much flattening I had to do with the backs. Mine weren't as flat as the ones JKM reviewed, and had a pretty bad hump in a couple in the set. I have some cheaper richters and some only stanleys, and all made mediocre dovetail joints.....but I'm thinking it's probably not the fault of the chisel.

  • @rogeranderson8763
    @rogeranderson8763 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I gotta agree, I spent some time considering the $100 per chisel sort, found the Richter had quality steel hardened to 61 same as the more expensive variety. I could just not justify spending hundreds of dollars more for a slight improvement of appearance. I did purchase the Richter set a few months ago and found them quite satisfying. Tuning them up was dead easy and they feel nice in the hand....after that, it is all about one's skill at the sharpening station and workbench.

    I picked up a the Richter set of 1/4"-1" in the box off TayTools. They cahnge my entire prospective on using a chisel. They are precise and keep their edge. I did flatten the back, but I would agree with JKM if you are just wanting to go then micro and go. They take some to get them dead flat, but worth it if you don't mind doing the work.
    And as someone mentioned, Wood By Wright did a really in-depth chisel test, and the Richters were up there with Lie Neilson and Veritas chiselsas some of the best. He even admits he uses them for his every day work.

    Shalom moishe . I bought a set of the four narex richter chisels for my instrumentmaking. I like them very much. Also bought 4 of the narex mortise chisels for use on tough hardwoods . An excellent tool for the $$. Have a set of 4 japanese mortise chisels , but they work better in softwoods

    Jonathan, what are your thoughts on doing hollow grind on your chisels? I've been doing it for about two years (western chisels only. not Japanese, of course) and absolutely love the speed of sharpening.

  • @mikestewart505

    I bought the Richter 1 1/2" to replace an old Sandvik that was really handy, once in awhile. Flattened the back--which was a bit of work--and sharpened it, and immediately ordered the other six. James Wright also rates them very highly. Rob Cosman found a few flaws. I actually agree with all 3 of you. They aren't perfect, but--especially for the price--they're dang close. (I *like* the big honkin' handles, but some might not.)

    I would like to see a comparison of plane blades. Factory stock, after market, cryogenic treated, etc. Sometimes we inherit our fathers or grandfathers old hand planes. Rather than tossing them out or polishing them up to be shelf queens we would like to put them to use. Yes, there is a bit of work like flattening the sole, filing the various parts to make a good fit but when the rubber meets the road a good blade that holds its edge makes it all worthwhile.

Perhaps a budget and premium version? I know you use the Knew saws, but they are a bit expensive here in Canada so I've been considering the one that Rob Cosman sells...... Would love some insight! Cheers.

  • @colejohnson1960
    @colejohnson1960 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    One often overlooked criteria in choosing a chisel is how it fits in the hand. The fit in your hand an effect how well the tool will perform for you as much as what particular type of metal it's made from or the bevel. This coming from a guy with large hands. I look at those Stanley's and can feel the frustration aI would have holding onto such a small handle.

    Nice review, do these Richters sharpen ok on an oilstone or do you need diamond stone or water stones? I have some trend diamond stones, but honestly, over the last 18 months i've moved back to freehand sharpening with an oilstone with my chisels and plane irons, although i do use the coarse diamond stone to work on the primary bevels, its just faster, the added bonus is my tools seem to rust way less when i wipe them down after using the oilstone, which in the perma-damp UK is a bonus : )
