Michihamono has manufactured this high-quality, rounded flat wood carving chisel. This tool is composed of heat-treated Blue Paper Steel (Aogami No.2), which provides consistent, smooth cuts on your wood. Blue Paper (named after the wrapping used to send it to blacksmiths) is composed of chromium and tungsten, which makes it harder and more wear-resistant, making it ideal for wood carving. The handle is constructed of a very durable Japanese cypress wood that is ergonomically designed to provide comfort and control during use.Because of its rounded edge, this wood carving tool can be used to make straight cuts comparable to a square-ended chisel but with 'softer' edges. This tool can also be used for finishing and smoothing wood surfaces.Approximate Dimensions & Product Data:• Blade Material: Blue Paper Steel (Aogami No.2)• Blade Width: 9mm• Handle Material: Japanese Cypress Wood• Handle Length: 180mmPlease note:The blade edge is sharp, keep out of reach of children.
