Featuring a razor-sharp, durable chisel blade made with Japanese high-carbon steel and a heavy-duty Japanese oak handle that offers excellent wear resistance from repeated blows with a hammer, our traditional Japanese bench chisels, or oire nomi, are designed to meet the everyday demands of your workshop.
Made from Japanese high-carbon steel (Yellow #2), these edges are laminated with softer steel. The layered construction of the two steel materials increases blade durability and improves sharpening ease. The back of the blade is hollow ground for excellent sharpness.
Six sizes available - 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30mm. Each blade is finished and sharpened by skilled Japanese craftsmen.
Overall Length: 215mm
Blade Width: 6-30mm

For best results, the user will need to seat the hoops of these chisels themselves, as well as lap the back of the blades.
