Increased weight and heft is significant improvement over original base—dimensions are precise; as always, packing, shipping, technical information and overall professionalism is superlative.
Very nice well balanced chisel and a pleasure to use. It's quite a bit thinner than a traditional laminated nomi. The chisel appears to be one solid piece of HSS which probably contributes to the thiness. I've found it easy to sharpen. I'd definitely would not hesitate to buy another one, two, or three...
I choose these chisels as my first Japanese set and they’re simply amazing.
Nice to sharpen and perfectly working after the initial set up!
Very satisfied also for the delivery, fast and secure!
