Bought these for our "woodworking" son's B-day. Said they are not the top, but are pretty darned good. Opened the package, and the nice-looking storage container had broken spots between the chisels, allowing them to bang into each other. My son was still happy with them as a gift, but we took them back from him and returned them thinking we could just order another set, and that a broken box was a fluke. We did, but the next box was was broken-up just the same. I'm kind of a stickler and attempted to do it one more time but our son said, "the box looked nice and he could fix it back up, but the the the one-inch chisel was too long for this storage container anyway; that the beveled-end bangs against the bottom of the storage box and will not be good for the sharpness of the blade anyhow." He convinced us that the box was pretty much junk -- that the chisels were what he was interested in. So, we just went with it. It's our son that's the woodworker, so kept them and otherwise hope they are acceptable for him.

I have a decent set of chisels (Wood River) but I wanted a 1.5 inch they don't make. I bought the 1.5" Richter based on James Wright's YouTube review. Spent a little time tuning it up, then ordered this set and the 1/8". My original intention to simply add a few premium chisels to compliment my basic set made sense, but these are so much better. Wright rated them best all around. I'm not in as good a position to compare, but the quality out of the box is almost as good as my one Lie-Nielsen mortice chisel. They don't arrive perfectly perfect--any chisel needs honed, and the backs of these need a bit of flattening for best performance. (These weren't bad at all, just not perfect.)
The nearest thing I have to a complaint is that the very nice box for the 5 pc. set doesn't have room for the 1/8 and 1.5". But I am thinking a nice box out of ash to match their beautiful handles would be a fun project. Overall, these are premium chisels comparable to anything I've seen at a very reasonable price. A huge step up from good.

Love them so much

These took very little lapping to bring the back to absolute flatness (any new chisel will take some) especially compared to standard Narex. They stay sharp way longer than standard Narex, without much fuss honing on diamond plates/compound. They take a blistering sharp edge when honed and stropped on green compound. The primary bevel being a few ticks under 25 degrees makes for easy paring cuts including in end grain but didn't exhibit the tendency to chip harder steel sometimes do when I tested busting through some glue lines and knots.

Bevelled edges taper down to minimal lands which along with the slim cross section make for easy access into most recesses. Compared to a lie nielsen, which is about 50% thicker at the base, it's hard not to feel like the slimmer cross section of these Narex might be more delicate but, in use, I have not noticed a difference in flex or deflection perhaps owing to the greater hardness of the steel, which typically comes with greater stiffness. Perhaps it's the best of both worlds where they can probably take the abuse but the feel reminds me not to be ham fisted.

The handle too is well shaped and finished and most comfortable in a push/paring grip, as opposed to optimized for chopping down grip like a stanley 750 or lie nielsen, but works well for all bench chisel tasks/orientations. Your grip preferences, more than anything else, may determine whether you simply like or love these as that feel in hand is a very personal and subjective.

Summary: Good fit and finish. Steel is great. Shape is comfortable and versatile. Feel in hand should be good to great, depending on preferences. Value is unmatched as I haven't used anything comparable that doesn't cost 50%-100% more.

Beauty, form, function. These classic European made manganese chrome chisels have a flawless finish. They shine. Smooth as silk. Heavy. Substantial. The beveled edges are razor clean and sharp. Smooth ash wood handles are shaped to be easy on the hands. Distinctive wooden chest good looking and will hopefully protect and preserve these tools for many years. Imagine anyone would be proud to own, use, pass these down to future generations of craftsmen. Craftpersons. Many fine projects to be crafted using these :)
