Judging by the substantial remaining blade length, it was used for only a brief period before being put away for decades. Considering that Japan's military expansion escalated around 1931, it is quite likely that the carpenter who acquired this chisel was drafted into service shortly thereafter.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo verify my assessment regarding its blacksmith, I brought it to Mr. Hidari Hisasaku (左久作) in Tsukishima. After a close inspection, he confirmed that it is indeed the work of Hidari Hisahiro II and noted just how rare it is. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHidari Hisahiro II was an immensely popular practical blacksmith in Tokyo, meaning the vast majority of his chisels were ground completely away through daily trade use. While one might occasionally come across less-frequently used gouges (sotomaru-nomi) or slick chisels (ootsuki-nomi), finding a tataki-nomi preserved in such complete condition is truly exceptional.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI have given it a basic functional sharpening. Wanting to avoid unnecessary steel removal, I only honed the portion of the primary bevel near the cutting edge. The bevel is currently taken up to #1000 grit, and the back (ura) has been worked to approximately #3000 grit. During sharpening, the steel felt remarkably uniform and fine-grained, but harder than that of Kiyotada chisels. At its current bevel angle, it is best suited for working softwoods.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49992844771566,"sku":null,"price":100000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF2755.jpg?v=1794098439","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/kakuuchi-tataki-nomi-japanese-made-timber-chisel-by-by-second-generation-hisahiro-30mm","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
