Bench Chisels That Hold Their Edge
Shinogi nomi chisels have a blade with a nearly triangular cross-section. In English, they're often called dovetail chisels. The side edges are thinner than on Oire Nomi chisels and the sides slope more steeply, so you can work into a sharp-angled spot like a dovetail corner without the side of the chisel rubbing against the surface you've already cut.
Chisels That Hold Their Edge
Featuring a razor-sharp, durable chisel blade made with Japanese high-carbon steel and a heavy-duty Japanese oak handle that offers excellent wear resistance from repeated blows with a hammer, our traditional Japanese chisels are designed to meet the everyday demands of your workshop.
