FULL DESCRIPTION
These Japanese Oire Nomi chisels (Nomi means chisel in Japanese), are made by a master blacksmith in Miki City, Japan exclusively for Rutlands®. The chisels feature double-layered, ultra sharp blades with outstanding edge life.

A soft iron body is forge welded to a thinner layer of extremely hard, Rc 62, white paper steel that forms the cutting edge. White paper steel ensures the highest durability and is easy to sharpen. This double-layer prevents brittle fractures, unlike single layer Western chisels, that become brittle when hardened to extreme temperatures. The backs of the blades are hollow ground to reduce the contact surface, reducing friction and lowering the necessary cutting force. The angle of the blade to the tang increases the cutting depth to almost twice the blade length.

A conical steel ferrule, which transfers the impact to the blade, sits seamlessly between the blade and the handle to protect the handle against fracture when repeatedly hit with a hammer. The steel ferrule on the butt end of the handle should be driven down prior to use so that the hammer only makes direct contact with the Japanese red oak handle. The wood above the ferrule will eventually spread over the top of it to protect both the hammer and the reinforcing ring.

These are the finest chisels that we offer and have limited availability as every chisel is hand made by one of the two Japanese master blacksmiths in the workshop. This set contains 3 chisels: 12mm, 18mm and 24mm beautifully presented in individual, handmade wooden boxes. ©

Great Chisels but they need some setup

These chisels really are lovely and on sale price are also great value. However they do require the hoops to be set (removed, sand/chisel the lacquer off, bash the handle down, set the ring, soak in hot water, mushroom over the hoop, dry, lacquer).

However once this is done (done to stop the handle splitting when using the chisel) they are great chisels and very sharp!!

I will have to learn to sharpen these by hand as the bigger ones don't fit in the honing guide I have by rutlands.

All in all though they are some great chisels and far nicer to user than western ones...they also look a million times better

Decent

This chisel is very sharp out the box. I bought another 2 of them in different sizes to make a small set. It’s doesn’t take long to get an even sharper edge on them which seems like it’ll last a decent while.
The only issue is that the backs of them weren’t sharp and none of the cutting edges are square to the blade. Which is shame but doesn’t take too long to fix.

Look and feel superb.

Recently ordered these from Rutlands. Rutlands service was excellent as always. Chisels look and feel superb, can't wait to give them a try. They feel very sharp but I shall flatten the backs and hone them with a leather before use.

Bought these when on offer. Wanted a set

Bought these when on offer. Wanted a set for quite a while, took my time sharpening them on my Japanese whetstones and they are now super sharp. They feel wonderful in the hand when being used and wonderful to look at.They are definitely NOT leaving the workshop to be used on site.Would thoroughly recommend these chisels and Rutland as a company to buy from. Prompt service and communication spot on.Thank you.

Well made chisels...

Well made chisels. They arrived sharp but needed a little extra honing. Very robust design and the craftsmanship is excellent. They hold their edge exceptionally well and only need to be sharpened occasionally.
