About Yasaku Chisels

Crafted with precision by the renowned Fujikawa forge in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, these professional-grade Japanese chisels (Oire Nomi) represent the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship. Each chisel features a cutting layer of Hitachi White Paper Steel No. 1, renowned for its superior hardness, edge retention, and fracture resistance. After over a decade of meticulous experimentation, Yasaku chisels feature blades that rival blue steel in hardness while retaining the unique benefits of white steel.

The chisels are forge-welded by skilled smiths in a traditional blacksmithing shop. Heated in coke forges and quenched in the soft water of Miki City, the blades undergo a unique process that minimizes carbon loss and enhances their durability. Following the quench, the blades are cooled in straw ash, preserving the optimal steel structure.

Fitted with premium Japanese Red Oak handles, these chisels are designed for durability. The black steel hoop is slightly raised above the handle to allow your hammer to strike the wood directly, a critical feature for traditional Japanese chiseling techniques. 

While these chisels come finely sharpened and ready for use, further adjustments to the handle may be needed to suit individual preferences. Designed with a single flat bevel honed to an ideal 34-degree angle, they deliver exceptional sharpness and precision. However, due to their highly refined construction, they are best suited for experienced users who can appreciate their fine edge and avoid chipping from rough handling.

Combining centuries-old techniques with modern refinement, Fujikawa chisels are a testament to the enduring excellence of Japanese toolmaking. Perfect for professional craftsmen, these tools offer unparalleled performance and a touch of tradition in every cut.
