The set of 6 includes:  6, 10, 12, 16, 20 & 26mm chisels
Supplied in stained beech presentation box
The 8116 series of Narex chisels are accurately ground, affordable, Cabinetmaker's chisels with fine edges and close tolerance backs.
Narex forge the chisel blades from Chrome Manganese (CrMn) spring steel and isothermally harden it to produce a very even and consistent bainitic structure at RC59 +/-1. In use, Chrome Manganese steel delivers similar performance to carbon steel but is more efficient to produce. 
The 8116 cabinetmaker's Narex chisels have shouldered teardrop hornbeam handles with brass plated steel ferrules. They will withstand taps from a mallet without the surface becoming marred and uncomfortable to use when paring. The handles are lightly stained to protect the timber whilst retaining its natural feel. All chisels in this set are fitted with smaller handles, which our customers have found are more comfortable to use than the larger handles.

Look excellent but cannot really comment as they are a Christmas present

Nice chisels and look good in the box as they are a present. Feel nice to hold. I have not had a set as good as these and I have been a joiner for 52 years.

Disappointed the item was delayed as this was for a birthday. When I called to report the problem and suggested a goodwill gesture is included, the lady said she would see what she could do. Nothing was included. Therefore not the best experience and encouragement to use the site again.

Having search the web for new chisels, I settled on these, and was NOT disappointed. Some were cheaper and probably will do the job, but for tools that give confidence, I recommend these.
