Description from the seller
Collection of 11 Japanese Vintage Woodworking Chisels (Nomi)
Item Description
This lot consists of 11 vintage Japanese woodworking chisels (Nomi), representing a practical assortment of traditional carpenter’s tools.
The set includes chisels of various widths and profiles, suitable for a wide range of woodworking and joinery applications. The blades display an attractive aged patina, oxidation, and signs of long-term workshop use, reflecting their authentic character and history.
These chisels are offered as collectible traditional tools, workshop display pieces, or for restoration and continued use by woodworking enthusiasts. Please carefully review all photographs, as they form an important part of the description and condition assessment.
Please note that some chisels have loose handles due to age and long-term use. In some cases, the blade section may move or separate from the wooden handle. A detailed photograph showing an example of this condition has been included for reference. Adjustment, repair, re-handling, maintenance, or sharpening may be required before practical use.
