Additional Information: The chisel is unused, though the steel hoop at the top of the handle has already been set. It comes from a retired carpenter and was the only unused piece in a 10-piece set. Because the carpenter's sharpening skills were rather mediocre, the ura (backs) of the other nine chisels were in poor condition, so I only acquired this single piece that was left unsharpened. The other nine Kiyohisa chisels bore Kiyohisa's early square-style stamps. Please note, that because the  area on this particular chisel is too narrow for stamping, it does not have a smith's mark.
