Blue Steel - Japanese 1/2-in. Bench Chisel
A small chisel, sturdy and well balanced
Oct 25, 2005
This small Japanese chisel — only 8-1/2 in. long — is well balanced and a pleasure to use. After 30 blows with the hammer head, the cutting edge on this chisel, like two of the other Japanese chisels, showed virtually no signs of wear. The tool scored an “excellent” on the toughness test.
