This set of oire chisels is Kiyotada‘s early work with Ichihiro type. It is finely made and you can see more details by enlarging the picture.

I sold this set of chisels from my collection to an American customer in February this year. Since the size of the chisels did not suit the customer‘s actual work, he discussed with me and decided to sell this set of chisels to someone who needed it more. It is currently in the United States and is well-kept and unused(same as the photos). 

※ In the detailed picture of "ura", there are only 4 chisels in the pictures showing 3 to 15mm (The seventh picture), because I missed the 12mm when I took the photo.

※ This set of chisels is kept in the USA. If you are in the USA you will not pay US import duties.
