Additional Information: This chisel is in good condition, unused. To assess the quality of the steel, I have performed a basic sharpening: the bevel and the ura (flat back) have both been sharpened to 1,000 grit. The steel is very likely White Steel (Shirogami) with a moderate hardness, making it well-suited for working with harder woods.
