Accessories: -

Additional Information: Used, these chisels are in better condition. They're from retired Miyadaiku in the Tokyo area. I did a repair (sharpening), sharpening the bevel to 400 grains and the Ura to 5000 grains. Their wooden handles were recently installed by Mr. Tsuchida Noboru.

This Miyadaiku from Tokyo likely purchased them directly from Kiyotada. The 50mm and 30mm chisels are the classic type; the others are the ichihiro type.

Judging from the precision of the chisels, they are early works of the second-generation Kiyotada blacksmith. We can refer to this set of chisels made by the second-generation Kiyotada in 1983.
