Description
Narex has challenged conventional woodworking wisdom by introducing a blunt-edged chisel, designed for select tasks where a traditional razor-sharp edge may not be the best tool. While most woodworking situations require a razor edge, there are times when a blunt edge performs better—offering greater control and effectiveness without the risk of digging in or removing too much material.
The edge on the Narex Blunt Chisel is rough-ground to 80 degrees and technically "blunted," but with minimal honing at the same angle, it transforms into a highly effective scraping tool. Simply refine the edge using a grinder, narrow belt sander, or a 220-grit diamond hone, and you'll have a versatile tool capable of:
- Removing dried glue without damaging surrounding wood
- Smoothing and refining small defects, particularly in harder and exotic species
- Cleaning up tenons, corners, and other hard-to-reach areas
- Removing rust from flat surfaces
- Creating an ultra-fine scraping tool by grinding to 90 degrees and adding a burr to both sides (use an Accu Burr AB2 for this).
This specialty chisel is an affordable and highly useful addition to any woodworker's toolkit. Once you start using it, you'll find it indispensable for countless applications.
