This is a curated collection of 10 authentic vintage Japanese woodworking chisels (Nomi). These tools are the backbone of traditional Japanese carpentry (Daiku) and fine furniture making (Sashimono). The set includes a variety of sizes and shapes, featuring: • Mixed Selection: Standard flat chisels (Oire-nomi) and specialty gouges (Uchimaru-nomi). • Traditional Craftsmanship: Hand-forged laminated steel, combining hard carbon steel (Hagane) for the cutting edge with soft iron (Jigane) for shock absorption. • Authentic Handles: Genuine Japanese oak (Kashi) handles with iron striking rings (Katsura) intact. These tools are not just functional; they represent a legacy of Japanese metallurgy. Perfect for craftsmen looking to restore high-quality steel or for collectors of architectural history. Condition Details • Vintage/Used: These items show a beautiful patina consistent with age and professional use. • Patina & Surface: Some surface rust and oxidation are present, which is typical for high-carbon steel of this era. • Handles: The wooden handles are solid with some scarring from use, adding to their character. • Maintenance: The blades will require sharpening to reach their full potential. They have been stored in a controlled, smoke-free environment.
