Flat Japanese Chisels YOITARIKI - set

Product detailed description

YOITARIKI – a manufacturer of traditional Japanese tools and instruments used for precise craftsmanship. Produces both traditional and modernized carpentry tools.

Nomi 鑿 – traditional Japanese chisels, these made from homogeneous steel. The wooden handle of the chisel is deliberately fitted with a metal ring, for use with tapping by a wooden mallet or a metal hammer. The blade is set into the handle at a slight angle, which allows achieving greater working depth. The selected blade profile reduces the area that the chisel touches the processed wood and decreases material friction. Sharpening Japanese carving chisels is recommended using specially shaped Japanese sharpening stones, rewarding you with exceptional sharpness and blade durability over a long time. The ferrule of the Japanese chisels Nomi needs to be precisely fitted before first use, to prevent splintering of the wooden end of the handle under the mallet's blows.
