One or two goodly folk have mentioned Narex chisels and they are good. But did you know that Axminster ‘Rider’ chisels are also made by Narex and in my view are much superior. The Narex handles are unwieldy whereas the ‘Rider’ chisel handles are a much better shape, made from hornbeam that’s been lightly oiled, come with a stainless steel ferule and a leather shock absorbing washer.
If you’re after a really good chisel at a budget price, the ‘Rider’ ones are the best of the bunch. The gouges are also excellent but need a lot of work to re-grind the bevel which is far too steep as supplied
