Product detailed description
YOSHIHIRO - manufacturer of traditional Japanese tools and instruments used for precision craftsmanship. It produces both traditional and modernized carpentry tools.
Uchimaru Nomi 内丸鑿 – a "U"-shaped chisel used for carving round profiles and for other fine carving work. It is made in various radii and widths.
The blades of traditional Japanese chisels Nomi 鑿 – are made by joining two layers of steel. The body of the chisel is intentionally made of soft steel, which absorbs the impact when struck with a wooden mallet or metal hammer, reducing the chance of tool damage. However, the edge is made of extremely hard carbon steel, which during production becomes a layer with a hardness of 62 HRC for classic Nomi chisels, up to the hardness of 67 HRC for Japanese chisels with HSS blades, whereas classic European chisels only reach a hardness of 58 to 60 HRC.
The steel ring, a metal ring at the end of the handle of Japanese chisels, needs to be precisely fitted before the first use, to prevent the wooden end of the handle from splintering under the mallet's blows.
