## Description

Sharpened at the factory, this five-piece chisel set is hand-forged from a combination of soft iron and Yasuki Shirogami (Japanese White Steel). Hollowed back reduces the friction with the workpiece. The cutting blade is tempered to HRC63+ hardness to ensure a long lived edge. The handle is made of Japanese red oak, well balanced. Please read the instructions in the box before using this chisel set. *Important Notice* 1. Do not use the grinding machine to sharpen this chisel, grinding machines may chip the cutting edge. Please use waterstone to sharpen the chisel. 2.When pulling the chisel out of the workpiece, avoid moving it front and back, wiggle it from left to right instead.

Review: Scalpel Sharp Japanese Tool - My first set of Japanese chisels and I am fully in love. I paid the extra 100$ vs a similar set because I wanted the Shirogami (Hitachi white paper Steel) It is touted by blacksmiths as being the very purest steel in existence and takes the finest edge. From what I have experienced these chisels are very friendly to sharpen and get immaculately sharp. I don’t even have quality sharpening supplies yet but I would imagine a quality wet stone and a leather strop and you will have some of the finest chisels you can get your hands on. Each one of these chisels will shave hair off your arm right out of the box. I recommend sanding the handles with 320 grit, removing the lacquer and finishing them with boiled linseed oil. If you are not familiar with Japanese chisels, you can strike them with a steel hammer offering much greater energy transfer. Because of this, you can remove large chunks of waste in a hurry, but then use the chisel simply by pushing and paring with your hand because they’re so darn sharp. The only thing I would advise is to rock the chisel side to side if it gets stuck, don’t go front to back prying or you could chip the edge. I could go on and on. It was hard to spend 300$ on 5 chisels, but the Japanese make some incredible edged tools and cutlery. The whole design of a Japanese socket and tang chisel is vastly superior IMO. Break the piggy bank for these. They are worth it.
Review: Excellent Right Out of the Box - Used the 1-1/2" on a scrap piece of cherry right out of the box. Felt like butter. Definitely worth the extra $100 to get better steel. Love the hollow backs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the length of each chisels?**
A: About 9 inches long including handle.

**Q: Are these paring chisels? or just bench chisels? if they are then are they able to be struck?**
A: Hi, the blade edge is very hard and brittle, so it is best for paring use. You can certainly strike them with a hammer, but pay extra attention when you pull the chisel out. Rock them sideways instead of front and back.

**Q: I purchased this set. It didn't have a instruction before use. Description says it's in the box but it wasn't. Could you give me the instruction?**
A: Hi,

We have sent our chisel care instructions to your email. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Claire
