SKF Posted September 17 Report Posted September 17 I was curious to see if anyone here knew anything about wood, chisels or woodworking tools for that matter Quote
Lee Bray Posted September 17 Report Posted September 17 Just enough to be slightly dangerous, as the saying goes. Grey Doffin wood be the chap to talk to. The chisels you have there are beveled edge wood chisels. The hollow grinds on the back are to make it easier to flatten, and keep flat, the back of the chisel. 1 Quote
Robert S Posted September 17 Report Posted September 17 Well, I do quite a lot of cabinet making, and own an extensive collection of Japanese and western chisels, planes, etc, including some which I made. What was your specific question regarding these chisels? Quote
SKF Posted September 17 Author Report Posted September 17 I was just trying to get some information about them like perhaps what the what the writing says and and if they were anything special, they are extremely sharp and work very well. I don’t know how old they are, but any information would be useful. Thank you. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted September 17 Report Posted September 17 Steve, these chisels are called TATAKI NOMI, and they seem to be brandnew. The sticker just tells the manufacturer (YOSHI ?), no information on the use. They are valuable tools, and to preserve them well, it is important to know how to use and to sharpen them. They are easy to damage! The hollow side is the underside. You will find many information online, even videos on their production on YouTube: https://www.youtube..../watch?v=894YPtzJZfk https://www.youtube..../watch?v=XyDliJugEIo Quote
Lewis B Posted September 17 Report Posted September 17 Try reaching out to these guys. Very helpful and speak English. You might able to get some additional information especially as they sell a lot of older pieces. https://shop.kurashige-tools.com/en-us 1 Quote
Robert S Posted September 17 Report Posted September 17 Because chisels like that use a very hard metal for the cutting edge, they can retain a very sharp edge during use... but they can also chip if not used carefully... as I have reason to know. I agree that Kurashige Tools are likely to know more about the maker, etc. Quote
John C Posted September 17 Report Posted September 17 12 hours ago, SKF said: what the writing says Steve: I believe the name of the company is Senkichi. A set of 6 on their website is 270 dollars. As a woodworker myself, I would say these are good, however you would need to be careful not to chip them. John C. Quote
