Unfortunately, it was not well-preserved, resulting in significant rust on one side and towards the back of the Ura. Fortunately, the rust on the Ura is located toward the back end, so it does not interfere with the normal use of the chisel.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e I rescued this piece from an antique shop in the Kanto region. I have since restored it, removing the majority of the loose rust and performing a basic sharpening — the \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebevel to 1000 grit and the Ura to 5000 grit.

By the way, when I brought this chisel along with another 54mm Oire Nomi to Mr. Tsuchida to have the handles fitted, he highly praised the craftsmanship and form of both pieces. He informed me that these are works from the \"Golden Era\" of Kiyotada.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuring the sharpening process, the steel felt notably harder, a distinct tactile feedback compared to the typical characteristics of Kiyotada II steel. Given that the stamped mark on the chisel dates back to the Kiyotada I era, it is highly probable that this was a collaborative work between the first and second-generation masters. I estimate its production period to be between 1950 and 1970.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersonally, I have seen several \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKorehide style Kote Nomi by Kiyotada II, yet none possess the perfect form and fluid lines of this particular piece. The final two photos provide a direct comparison between a Kote Nomi made by Chiyozuru Korehide (from a reference book) and this chisel. The first reference photo is from page 87 of \"Kitaetsukuru: Photo Collection\" by Akiyama Minoru; the second is from page 147 of \"Chiyozuru Korehide Photo Collection ①: Exquisite hand tools created by Korehide and the predecessors\" by Tsuchida Noboru.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47826242339054,"sku":null,"price":68000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF5878_350e89c2-ecfc-4476-956c-0265878e1c15.jpg?v=1774614075","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/kote-nomi-japanese-hand-made-trowel-chisel-chisel-by-kiyotada-%e2%85%b1-15mm-korehide-type","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
