Description from the seller
Maruichi Japanese Chisels – Set (6 Pieces)
The Japanese chisel, or chōkoku-tō, represents the pinnacle of precision and craftsmanship.
Forged through generations of master artisans, each blade is incredibly sharp, gliding through wood with effortless grace.
Yet a Japanese carving knife is far more than just a tool — it transforms carving into a meditative, almost spiritual experience.
The gentle curve of the blade, the thoughtfully shaped handle, and the perfectly balanced weight are the result of centuries of refinement and devotion.
With their outstanding sharpness, balance, and craftsmanship, Maruichi chisels truly embody the spirit of Japanese woodcarving.
Rather than buying many used items at a lower price, choosing a brand-new one in the same price range allows you to fully enjoy its original quality and elegance, with much less need for maintenance.
We invite woodcarving artists and craft enthusiasts around the world to experience the difference for themselves. With a Maruichi chisel in hand, your creativity is certain to reach new heights.
Please Note:
This item has been opened once for photography, but you will receive a brand-new, unused product.
The color tone of the wooden handles may vary slightly from piece to piece due to natural wood grain.
