Product Features
Razor-sharp of Quality Japanese High Carbon Steel
The blade edge is sharp Japanese high-carbon steel (Yellow Steel #2) and is laminated with softer steel. The layered construction of the two steel materials increases blade durability and improves sharpening ease.
Hollow Ground Back
The back of the blade is Japanese-style hollow ground. It is easier to sharpen the blade back than a flat one like a Western chisel, and you can finish a flat surface with high accuracy. Elevate your work with authentic Japanese woodworking tools.
Sharp Right Out of the Box
Each blade is finished and sharpened by skilled Japanese craftsmen. Sharp right out of the box.
Long-Lasting White Oak Handle with Katsura Hoop
The handle is made of durable Japanese white oak wood. The natural wood provides a comfortable grip. The handle end is reinforced with an iron hoop (Katsura), a feature of Japanese chisels.

Very sharp. Although all small chisels are difficult to sharpen, this one is not any more difficult than the others. Well made.

After having purchased 2 larger chisels previously and being satisfied with their quality, I decided to try the 1/4" (6mm) version. As soon as I opened it I could see the blade is crooked relative to the handle, by about 3-4 degrees. This is an unacceptable flaw which makes the chisel unusable and unsafe. I'll go ahead and try a more expensive brand and return this one. Should have been QC'd and never made it out of the warehouse.

I didn’t know beforehand that there’s a bit of setup with Japanese chisels, but the setup was rather enjoyable and now I’m more invested in the tool than just monetarily. It isn’t the most beautiful of this style of chisel, but it’s very well made. Though, after setting the hoop (soak the end), I did refinish that shiny handle. Flatten the back, and sharpen. Whole thing felt like a pleasant ritual.
