Accessories：Original wooden box (fits a portion of the chisels only)

Additional Information:  These chisels come from the collection of a retired carpenter in the Tokyo area. Most of them were crafted by Konobu II (二代小信), with a few pieces by Konobu III (三代小信). For now, I’m offering them only as a complete set.

Except for the group shown in the last three photos—which saw more frequent use—most of the rest are either unused or have only been used a handful of times. If there are no buyers for the full set after a while, I’ll break them down into smaller sets, though the prices per set will be higher then.
