Additional Information: Used, The chisel comes from a retired wooden Buddha statue carver from the Tokyo area. It has rust on the Ura side. Fortunately, the steel is thicker and the rust on the ura side does not affect its use. I sharpened the bevel to about 400 grit, and the wooden handle was provided and installed by Mr. Tsuchida Noboru.

One side of the chisel is damaged. Because the working area of the Uchimaru chisel blade is concentrated in the middle, it does not affect the use.
