Additional Information: It was used, comes from the descendants of a miya-daiku in the Kamakura. I have restored and resharpened it, finishing the bevel with a natural finishing stone and sharpening the ura to around 5,000 grit. The soft iron backing is softer than what is typically found in modern tools; it might be watetsu (traditional Japanese iron) without a distinct grain pattern, or soft iron imported from Europe during the Meiji period.
This is the oldest of the three Meiji-period chisels uploaded this time, as well as the most finely crafted (also the one with the highest skill of the blacksmith). The horizontal file marks remaining on the chamfered sides indicate that it was finished using the 'Ichimonji' filing technique. This is the most difficult method, yet it ensures superior dimensional accuracy—a technique later adopted by Chiyotsuru Korehide and Ishido Hidekazu. The steel layer wraps upward around the side of the chisel on one side. Mr. Tsuchida informed me that although it is only on one side, this wrap increases the structural strength, which is more than sufficient for a large paring chisel of this size.
