Kento Nomi :Japanese Woodblock Registration Chisel : 15mm

The Great Legacy Of Blade Technology In Japan And The Requirement For Precision Carving In The Production Of Ukyo-e Prints Gave Rise To The Development Of Carving Tools Such As These. Crafted From A High-quality Two-part Steel: A High Carbon Steel Which Holds The Cutting Edge, Laminated To A Softer Steel Which Provides Strength With A Little Flexibility To Help Prevent Breakage. The Tools Leave The Factory Very Sharp So Please Take Care When Handling. They Are Designed With A Long Blade That As It Is Sharpened Down Can Be Moved Forward Within The Handle: For U And V Gouges Do This You By Removing The Brass Ferrule To Splay Open The Cherrywood Handle. The Long Blade Has A Curved Tip On The Back End That Can Be Pressed Back Into The Wood One It Is Re-positioned. This Stops It Slipping Back When Carving. For The Hangi-To Blade, Remove The Brass Ferrule And Lift The Blade Up Out Of The Groove In The Handle. If The Brass Ferrule Doesn't Slide Off Easily Then Try Prising It Off With A Blade Under The Long Side Of The Ferrule, Or Wrap The Ferrule In A Cloth And Gently Prise Off With Pliers.
