NOTICE:
Traditional Carbon Steel Japanese Knives distinguish themeselves with extremely good edge retention. They are however made from carbon steel, very hard but also brittle (more brittle than most people are used to) and rusting. Therefore take good care of this tool, keep the tool clean after use and wipe it down with camelia oil ocasionally.
Blades may vary in length slightly and handles might differ in colour and grain from those showed in the pictures. These variations in no way affect the quality of a chisel but rather add a touch of uniqueness.
