Narex paring chisel, 1" (25.4 mm).
Substantially thicker in cross-section than traditional paring chisels, they have a length and heft that permit accurate registration with the work and control through the cut. Forged from silicon-chrome steel (Rc 58-60), the 9-1/2" long blades taper from 9/32" thick at the shoulder to 7/32" thick next to the 20° bevel. The bevel-edged sides reduce sidewall friction in tight recesses. Fitted with brass-plated steel ferrules, the hornbeam handles are generously sized for a good grip.
Available in four widths: 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1-1/4".
There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
