Oire Nomi Japanese Bench Chisel - 3mm F891103

Made in Miki City, Japan by master blacksmith, oire nomi are used by Japanese carpenters and cabinet makers. These chisels have a blade length of approximately 62mm(2.1/2") with longer shoulders and tangs. They are well balanced and will take a blow from a hammer for heavier work as well as taking the thinnest of paring cuts for fine work. The overall length is approximately 230mm(9"). These professional grade chisels are forged using high carbon steel laminated to a softer low carbon backing steel. They are hardened to over HRC 60 and will hold a razor edge for far longer than an equivalent western chisel. They feature red oak handles.
