Clear descriptions, careful inspection, and direct shipping from Japan
A Japanese Shinogi Nomi made by Yasushi Hanyu (羽生康) and bearing the Tachibana Toshiaki (橘敏明) name. This 6mm chisel features a traditional black finish and a White Steel #2 cutting blade.
Shinogi Nomi (鎬鑿) is a Japanese chisel characterized by its narrowed side profile toward the cutting edge.
This distinctive geometry provides clearance around the blade and is useful when working in narrow or confined areas where the sides of a conventional chisel may interfere with the surrounding wood.
This example has a 6mm (approximately 0.24") cutting width and a traditional black-finished appearance.
Maker: Yasushi Hanyu (羽生康)
Inscription / Name: Tachibana Toshiaki (橘敏明)
The maker and the name appearing on the chisel are stated separately to avoid incorrectly identifying the inscription as the maker.
The cutting blade is made from White Steel #2.
The chisel has a black finish.
No unconfirmed claims regarding hardness, heat treatment, manufacturing period, or other technical specifications are made in this listing.

Japanese woodworking tools are traditionally prepared and adjusted by the craftsman before use.
Rather than describing every unused tool as “ready to use,” BANKANE explains its actual condition and any preparation that may still be required.
We describe confirmed information in detail and avoid presenting uncertain claims as established fact.
Our goal is to give buyers enough accurate information to decide whether the tool is suitable for their work, collection, experience, and preferred method of setup.
BANKANE offers authentic Japanese woodworking tools sourced in Japan.
We describe each item as clearly and honestly as possible, including storage marks, oxidation, wear, packaging condition, and any sharpening, fitting, or adjustment that may be required.
The photographs and individual listing details are provided to help buyers understand what they are purchasing.
We believe that honest descriptions and accurate photographs are just as important as the quality of the tools themselves.
Only the items shown in the photographs and specifically stated in this description are included.
Rulers, measuring tools, display stands, background materials, and other photography accessories are not included unless specifically stated.
Colors and surface appearance may vary slightly depending on lighting, photography, and display settings.
For listings with more than one unit in stock, the item received will match the stated maker, model, size, and specification, but wood grain, forged patterns, color, markings, or other individual details may vary. When the exact photographed item will be supplied, this will be stated in the individual listing.
Traditional Japanese woodworking tools are commonly supplied with the expectation that the user will perform final preparation, sharpening, fitting, and adjustment.
Unless this listing specifically states that the tool is ready to use, the blade may require sharpening or fitting. A Japanese hand plane may also require adjustment of the wooden body, blade bed, blade mortise, mouth, sole, and chipbreaker before use.
Natural wood can expand, contract, twist, or move because of changes in temperature and humidity during storage and international transportation. Final adjustment should therefore be performed after the tool has acclimated to the environment where it will be used.
Measurements and weight are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the measuring method. Please allow for a small margin of error.
