Important Notes:
Traditional Japanese chisels are crafted from high-carbon steel, renowned for their edge retention. However, this steel is significantly more brittle than most Western alternatives and is prone to rust. Maintain these tools carefully and apply vegetable oil after each use.
Note on Variations:
Individual chisel lengths and handle wood grain patterns may vary slightly from descriptions and photographs. These variations do not affect quality but rather contribute to each tool’s unique character.
