Set of seven custom made, Japanese chisels
Designed by me, these heavy-duty "Becksvoort pattern" chisels are trapezoid in cross section to get right into dovetail corners. Hand made by the Japanese Master chisel maker Akio Tasai. A layer of white steel with a Rc hardness of 65 is forged onto 18 layers of Damascus steel (mokume or "wood grain"). The shaft is twisted and the steel is acid etched. With white oak double hoop handles. Sizes 4.5, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 mm (or about 3/16, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4,and 1"). With fitted case. Only one set made, extremely rare, these chisels are a work of art.
$5,875.
