KaKUrIJapanese Wood Chisel Set 6 Pcs, Japanese & Western Mixed Style, Made in JAPAN, Professional Heavy Duty Chisels NOMI with Carrying Case for Woodworking, Red Oak Wood Handle

All of a sudden these chisels are the nicest thing I own!I already have a set of “cheap” chisels that are all purpose duty workhorse chisels and need constant sharpening. No matter how much I try they just don’t get razor sharp but they do the trick. I was offered this chisel set free of charge in exchange for an honest review and please do NOT think that just because I’m over the moon about them that I’m influenced to give a better score than they deserve. These chisels deserve every bit of five stars!The first thing you notice is the handsome earth tone green wax canvas bag with black tie that helps keep these works of art safe and damage free while not in use. You definitely do not want to simply toss these in your tool box! Once you unroll the canvas bag you’re struck - at least I was - by the immediate craftsmanship of these tools. You can visibly see the minute differences and slight imperfections in the wood handles that went in to each chisel. You can see the individual hammer marks on the end where the artisan secured the metal ring around the end of the handle. The other thing you can see is your reflection in the end of the chisel it’s so sharp!Speaking of sharp these are truly razor sharp! These easily sliced through a piece of paper and also shaved a strip of hair off the back of my hand. These chisels will easily devour any job you throw at them. Even though my old chisels state they too are made of vanadium steel I now believe this is not the case as vanadium is a rare earth element added to steel to harden the steel which will make the steel hold a sharper edge. Of the two sets I now own I have 100% confidence that these are indeed made from vanadium steel.I showed these to my wife and though she couldn’t care less about my tools, even she was taken aback at how beautiful these chisels are! I got these to replace my old chisel set but I am now going to keep both. I put my old chisels in the nice wax canvas bag these ones came in and tossed them in my tool box. I’ll use the old ones for day to day smashing and chiseling but will keep these ones on display on my peg board and only use them for specific projects like detail woodworking, dovetail joints, etc. just to keep the razors edge on them.I am truly blown away at the craftsmanship and the beauty of these chisels. They are not cheap by any means so if you just need a set for your everyday tool box I can’t really recommend you spend this kind of money on something like that. However, if you do furniture building, cabinetry, or fine woodworking and need an amazingly beautiful set of razor sharp hand made chisels, well look no further than this set!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband doesn’t ever give anyone a five, but if he did he would give them a five. They are good quality, and they are very sharp. Be careful.😉

I would need to pay a couple more hundred to get better hardness, edge durability, and resharpen-ability. The 30° edge + Japanese high-carbon vanadium steel is incredibly durable and likely maker proprietary. My 'fingernail peel' sharpness test puts them among the sharpest knives I've seen.For hand joinery in furniture and cabinetry, these are utopian. I put them behind my 'personal use only' drawer lock. They aren't going to be disappeared for paint scraping.The super-premium tool high carbon tool steel is likely less than 10% of the cost. >90% is craftsmanship with a primo skill set, precision tools, and expensive tool & die grade labor. No signs of 'mass-production'. These are honed and lapped on all surfaces. As high-end bench chisels go, the tool thickness and light beveling put these in the distinctive style of Japanese beveled bench chisels. The perfect balance between sharpness and durability is simply an unresolvable paradox narrowed here by the high carbon tool steel.A 1-star commenter mentioned a problem with flatness. That made me curious. I laid a 2" optical flat on the back ... up comes the equidistant parallel lines with irrelevant astigmatic interference on the two orthogonal fringes. Beat my already high expectations. Magnified inspection revealed honed/lapped finish on all grinds about as close to a super-finish as non-super finish processing can get. The crisp, actually sharp corners are distinctive. I don't know how you get any more flatness in a tool or the all-things-considered relevance of an optically flat finishing to finicky wood grain. Whatever weight one puts on optical flatbacks it would not be discernable to the human eye.Delightful. The only maintenance I plan is a leather strope ... when I need to resharpen sharpen, these are a good reason for a 10,000 grit whetstone.Was my review helpful? If so, click "Helpful" so I can know. I'm trying hard to increase the value of my reviews to assist in your selection.

Very poor quality. For the price I wood go buy cheap chisel's from china. I thought these would be decent based on the Japanese name and I was very wrong. I am sending back due to quality control and lack of care. These should be priced at $30 not $300
