Tasai Shinogi Nomi, Chisels, 6-Piece Set

Description

6-piece set in a leather tool roll: 6 / 9 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 30 mm

This chisel seems to come from a bygone era. For the soft, shock-absorbing steel layer, Akio Tasai uses Japanese »Watetsu« iron, which dates from the Edo period. This extraordinary material is extremely rare and only used by licensed Japanese swordsmiths. The sword- and toolsmith welds the shock-absorbing material to a cutting layer of hard Blue Paper Steel in the fire. A high-contrast grained Bocote hardwood handle completes this unique tool.

Classic, triangular cross-section for chiselling and reworking of dovetails and other wood joints. The back faces are polished by hand, the bevel angles are sharpened and set ready for use and the steel rings/loops are hand-forged. Hardness 62-63 HRC.

Manufacturer

Akio und Michio Tasai

The master smith Akio Tasai has earned himself a legendary reputation among Japan's metalworkers, especially due to his Mokume technique. His son Michio Tasai is following in the footsteps of his father, acquiring his Japanese sword-making license - the most prestigious accolade among smiths - at the age of 38 after eight years of study under the master sword smith Takano Yukimitsu. They use Blue Paper Steel, specifically manufactured according to their needs, to create the cutting layer of their tools, as this particular steel remains easy to sharpen despite its hardness.
