KAKURI Japanese Wood Chisel Set “Oire Nomi” (3-Piece: 9/15/24mm). Discover the precision of Japanese craftsmanship with this KAKURI 3-Piece Chisel Set. These are “Oire Nomi” (Bench Chisels), the most versatile type of Japanese chisel used for general carpentry, mortising, and finishing. Made in Sanjo, Japan, these chisels feature a handle made of White Oak (Shirokashi), a dense and durable wood that absorbs impact excellently. The blade is forged from high-carbon steel laminated with soft iron, providing a razor-sharp edge that is easy to sharpen. This set includes the three most essential sizes for any woodworking project. Brand: KAKURI (Kakuri Sangyo). Set Includes (Blade Widths): 9mm, 15mm, 24mm. 215mm (8.5 inches). Handle Material: White Oak (Shirokashi) – Excellent durability. Blade Construction: Laminated Steel (Bi-metal). Origin: Made in Japan. Type: Oire Nomi (General Purpose / Butt Chisel). ? Pro Tip: Setting the Hoop (Katsura). Authentic Japanese chisels have a metal hoop on the end of the handle. It may arrive slightly loose-this is normal. Traditionally, the user hammers the wood at the end to “mushroom” it slightly over the hoop, locking it in place. This protects the handle from splitting when struck with a hammer.
