・About This Set

This 6-piece woodworking chisel (tatakinomi) set is hand-forged by Akio Tasa and his son Michio in accordance with the traditions of Echigo-Sanjo. Each chisel is carefully crafted one by one using a specially developed, proprietary blue steel formula, achieving the exceptional hardness and razor-sharp cutting edge demanded by professional woodworkers.

The mirror-polished finish is not merely for aesthetic purposes; it also reduces friction, ensuring precise and clean cuts even in hardwoods. The white oak handles are balanced for use with a wooden mallet, making this set equally suitable for furniture making, joinery, and high-end cabinetry.
