Japan Woodworker - Bench Chisel
Japan Woodworker's namesake chisel set requires some tuning before use, including seating the ring at the end of the handle.As is the case with many Japanese chisels, this one came with an unseated strike ring at the end of the handle. Seating the ring is just a matter of giving the end of the handle a few hammer whacks to mushroom the wood around the ring. Unlike the other Japanese chisels I looked at, this one was in the middle of the pack in the toughness test. The tool scored an “average” on the toughness test. The price is for set of four.
