Description
Thank you for visiting my shop.
A labor-intensive chisel set, with each piece carefully hand-polished and finished individually.
While many Japanese chisel blacksmiths use White Steel, Tasai has long used his original proprietary steel known as “Aogami Special Steel.”
Thanks to the Aogami special steel, the chisels are relatively easy to sharpen and take an excellent edge.
Condition: New / Produced in early January 2026.
