Japanese Chisels

I may have mentioned Stanley Covington before. If not, a little background: Stan has worked in Japan for a number of years and is a very knowledge woodworker with connections to traditional Japanese blacksmiths. With his knowledge and connections he is a good source for Japanese knives and chisels.

I just received a beautiful set of Sukezane oiirenomi at a very fair price.


Here they are in the chisel rack:


The UPS Goddess smiled on me today, not only did the UPS girl deliver the set of chisels but also The BenchCrafted Classic screw and crisscross. I have no excuse now, everything needed to finish the bench is in house.

      Bob,

      Dumb, I know but sometimes you can't help yourself. BTW, they sure are pretty.

    Nice chisels, Ken. Don't forget to set them up. If you need tips about sharpening them (the hollow-ground ura on Japanese chisels is a little different) please let me know.

      Stan,

      That they are. I expect I'll finish the current workbench build before I do much more than pick 'em up and look at them. But once I start to set them up I'll be in touch.

      Thanks again for all your help,

      ken
