Typically, the lamination on this style of chisel involves the steel sitting flat against the soft iron (similar to standard Japanese carving chisels). However, on this piece, the Hagane (hard steel) actually wraps around part of the Jigane (soft iron). This technique demands a very high level of skill from the blacksmith.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEven Mr. Tsuchida expressed admiration when he examined it: 'The steel is wrapping around the soft iron!'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJudging by the curvature of the neck and the blade, this tool looks very similar to those used by Japanese scabbard makers (Sayashi). However, while the back of blade a scabbard maker's chisel usually has a slight curve, the back of this chisel's blade is flat. It would be very convenient to use for working on narrow dovetail grooves.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47663585231086,"sku":null,"price":18000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF1152_0ffc749f-5365-408d-abf1-732340f5c3da.jpg?v=1771117756","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/shinogi-usu-nomi-japanese-specially-made-dovetail-paring-chisel-5mm","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
