Hope this helps. **Q: Can I use this to make a cut in aluminum by with the tip of the blade by hammering the handle?** A: I would not reccommend it. If you are interested in cutting aluminum you need to look for a tool with a carbide edge/blade. **Q: What is the working length of the blade? In other words: How long is the shaft before it flares near the handle?** A: 3 7/8" to tip of bevel ## Customer Reviews ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Excellent chisels *by J***H on January 6, 2018* I raised this review to 5 stars from 4 stars because it's an excellent chisel. The reason I docked it one star originally is due to the protective laquer that comes on it, which is probably the case with all mid and lower priced chisels. Personally, I can't stand the lacquer and, removing it is never as easy as some reviewers lead you to believe. I have 3 other Narex chisels from Lee Valley, which are basically the premium chisels on Amazon but with the dark colored handles from the regular line. Anyway, all 4 Narex chisels came with the same lacquer protective coating. I tried wiping it off with mineral spirits, then soaked them in mineral spirits for a few minutes, and finally resorted to lacquer thinner. The lacquer thinner worked best but I had to soak and scrub them all. The toughest area to remove was right on the bevel. I ended up using my random orbital sander to get that part off because I was tired of scrubbing and dealing with lacquer thinner.After cleaning up the chisels I flattened the backs and honed the bevels on my DMT diamond stones. Flattening took about 30 minutes, and 25 minutes of that was spent on the 5/8" and 7/8" chisels. All three sharpened very fast and easy on my stones, which tells me the steel might be a little softer than my old cheap set from HD, but I prefer the faster sharpening even if it is more often. I keep my diamond stones and strop near by at all times so I can maintain a sharp edge on all of my tools.Narex chisels are a pleasure to work with and perform much better than their price might lead some to believe. They have a nice weight and are comfortable in the hand. I prefer this handle shape because it doesn't roll off my workbench and it feels quite natural when I grip it. The steel is easy to sharpen and holds and edge quite well. I can't compare the edge retention to LN or other high dollar chisels, but I have no complaints whatsoever. These truly are a bargain at this price, especially the premium line if you require thin side lands.I do not believe Narex can be beat in quality for the price. However, if you are going to be cutting dovetails or working in tight recesses, then the premium line sold on Amazon or the Lee Valley version is the best way to go. The side lands on the premium chisels are very thin and consistent all the way down the chisels. I don't know of any other chisels maker that offers the thin side lands in this price range. I believe you would have to step up to Ashley Isles, Pfeil, or of course, Lie Nielsen or Veritas (Lee Valley). Also, I bought the Stanley 750s and sent them back the next day. The side lands on those are about twice and thick as the Narex Premiums. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Amazing Chisel *by I***Y on October 13, 2023* Great chisel for small detailed work. Came in sharp, so be careful when u first open it. Good quality steel, as it stays sharp. The handle is also ergonomic and comfortable to use. Iā€™m honestly thinking about getting more Narex chisels. ### ā­ā­ā­ā­ā­ Nice and well built. *by A***R on August 24, 2024* Great quality with this chisel. Super sharp as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - šŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** ā€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - šŸŒ **Shop Globally** ā€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - šŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** ā€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - šŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** ā€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - šŸ”’ **Secure Payments** ā€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ā­ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** ā€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/22221954-narex-3-mm-1-8-inch-woodworking-cabinetmakers-chisel-beech](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/22221954-narex-3-mm-1-8-inch-woodworking-cabinetmakers-chisel-beech) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
