I offer discounts for multiple items: 10% for 2, 15% for 3, and 20% off for 4 or more. The discount will be automatically applied when you add the items to the cart. I have a large collection of Japanese chisels, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for in my store, please send me a message and I will check my inventory. This is a rare Japanese chisel set that was hand-forged by Fujihiro aka Chutarou Imai. These chisels represent Mr Imai’s best work. They feature mokume, which is a type of Damascus steel where layers of different types of iron or steel are stacked, folded, and hammered to create a wood grain effect. The Damascus steel is laminated to a hard, high-carbon steel layer. The high-carbon steel provides an extremely sharp edge while the soft backing steel provides toughness and durability. Condition: Excellent used condition. There is a ding on the top corner of the Damascus steel layer on the 24mm chisel that doesn’t affect use. The handles have some marks on them. The chisels have been flattened, sharpened, and polished on a Japanese natural stone. The style is Oire Nomi, otherwise known as a standard bench chisel. This style of chisel is meant for general-purpose use and is suitable for carpentry and cabinetry work. With a metal hoop to prevent splitting of the wood handle, it is meant to be hit with a genno or metal hammer. Length: around 210mm 8 3/8. Bevel Angle: around 30°. Fujihiro – Chutarou Imai. Hard Steel: Shirogami #1 – Hiitachi White Paper Steel #1. Style: Oire Nomi (bench chisel). Handle Wood: Tagayasan or Japanese Ironwood marked with the name of the handle maker. Ferule: Rustic hand forged style. Hoop: Rustic hand forged style.

This Japanese chisel was hand forged by Yoshiro Usui, the 4th generation in the Sukemaru, a skilled blacksmith known for his excellent high speed steel chisels. These are made from solid HSS and are considerably thinner than typical Japanese chisels, making them better suited to fine and delicate work like cleaning up dovetails. HSS provides a sharp edge that is very difficult to dull or chip, making it a great choice for North American and European hardwoods – it holds a sharp edge much longer than white or blue paper steel. It’s also great for abrasive or dirty woods, as well as other materials like MDF, various plastics, etc. Condition: The set is in excellent, near-new condition, this was a new set that I set up and barely used. The backs have been flattened and they were sharpened to 8000 grit on Shapton Glass stones. The hoops have been set and the handles mushroomed. The style is Oire Nomi, otherwise known as standard bench chisels. This style of chisel is meant for general-purpose use and is suitable for carpentry and cabinetry work. With a metal hoop to prevent splitting of the wood handle, it is meant to be hit with a genno or metal hammer. Length: 215mm 8 1/2. Blacksmith: – 4th generation Sukemaru – Yoshiro Usui. Hard Steel: High Speed Steel (HSS). Style: Oire Nomi (bench chisel). Handle Wood: Made by a skilled handle maker (stamped with the maker’s name) from. Hoop Style: Hammer finish.
