Brand name: Kaneyoshi (カネ嘉)

Total length:  230mm

Japanese traditional nail puller, mainly used to pull out Japanese traditional handmade nail (wakugi, The head of this nail is square).

The name "Enma" comes from the tool used by the king of hell to pull out the tongues of liars. Since the Meiji period, the now mainstream "Western nails" have been used, and have been replaced by Western "crowbars."
