Lurasco Brothers - Working tool (16) Vintage - Chisel Sets (16pcs)

This exclusive auction features three distinct sets of traditional Japanese woodcarving chisels (Chokoku-to), totaling 16 pieces. These tools represent the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship, ideal for detailed woodblock printing (Ukiyo-e style) or intricate sculpture.
• Set 1 (Wooden Box): A premium "Betsu-atshurae" (Special Custom Order) set from Tokyo/Kyoto. Includes 5 professional-grade chisels with hand-forged steel.
• Set 2 (Blue Box): A 6-piece "Hanka-to" (Printmaking) set, including a sharpening whetstone.
• Set 3 (Yellow Box): A 5-piece "Maru-ichi" brand set, a well-known name in Japanese carving circles.
These vintage tools are highly sought after by collectors for the quality of their laminated steel, which maintains an edge far longer than modern mass-produced alternatives.
Condition Details
