Because they are significantly different from the Tokyo Kote chisels that are commonly seen today. They are more like Kote chisels made by bending the neck of a common Usu chisel. Mr. Tsuchida told me that this was indeed the case, and that this type of Kote chisel was the early prototype of the Kote chisel in the Tokyo area. This reminds me of the Kote chisels from Hidari Hisahiro Ⅱ that I once saw; they were also this shape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e※ Why is the signature on the wooden sheath not \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKote nomi\/鏝鑿\" but \"Kinari \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKote nomi\/木成\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e鏝鑿\"?  In most contexts, the Kinari chisel is equivalent to the Usu chisel. But I found the difference between the \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eKinari \u0026amp; Usu chisels in that book(p86\u0026amp;87): 『Edo Blacksmith's Order Book by IKEGAMI TAKANOBU (Hisasaku Ⅱ) 江戸騛冶の注文帐』.  The blade of the Usu chisel is about 91mm long and the neck is about 70-75mm long; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe blade of the Kinari chisel is about 76mm long and the neck is about 90mm long.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e※ Why does the signature include \"関東型鎬造り\/Kanto-type Shinogi-making)?
