Japanese Chisel Set, 10 - Piece - Kikuhiromaru Oiire - Nomi With Bright Crowns
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2835930 | Brand: Kikuhiromaru |
| Original/Reproduction: Vintage Original | Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
Japanese Kikuhiromaru oiire-nomi 10-piece chisel set, made in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. This set features wooden handles (red oak, I believe) and shiny-bright crowns (hoops) with a hammered finish called "uchikazura" -- which is an upgrade from the base model.
Though around 20 years old, this vintage set (circa 1998) is of even higher overall quality than more recent comparable sets from the same company (Kikuhiromaru).
The chisels show use, but are in overall very go...od condition. The only minor flaw is that some of the blade faces have "shiny noses, " where a small patch of the black oxide skin is worn or abraded off in an uneven fashion just before the bevel. This doesn't effect the chisel's performance in any way -- it's just a minor cosmetic blemish.
This set was much-loved by my father, and now (since I myself am not a woodworker) I'm looking to pass it on to someone who will also appreciate it and put it to good use!
Shipped with USPS First Class Package.
