This listing is for an antique ootsuki nomi (Japanese slick chisel) with a 48mm wide cutting edge. Blacksmith signature is present and legible. I sharpened this tool on a 100 micron stone. The back and bevel are flat and sharp. Could use additional honing on high grit stones if an intense level a sharpness is desired. Blade is white steel (shirogami), Lamination line is nicely shaped. (note how the laminated steel wraps up the sides for structural stability and durability). Steel is extremely hard due to age hardening austenite turns to martensite over time. So you’ll find a very dependable glass hard edge on this old chisel. Id estimate it to be around 60 years old. Scuffs, blemishes, and patina are present. There is no rust on any portion that it would effect the performance of this tool. Back hollow is in great condition. Very symmetrical with most of the black oxide is still intact! There is some minor pitting in the hollow, but this is only cosmetic and wont affect the tool’s performance. Comes oiled and protected with camellia oil all natural corrosion inhibiting oil made from green tea plant. Handle is in excellent shape. No cracks or splits. Please ask any questions you may have.

From my personal collection. This is an absolutely UNBELIEVABLE set of early James Swan diamond back timber framing chisels! American Dogwood handles with the center of the branch going straight down the center of the handle. Patterned precisely after the original design. The largest slick(3 wide) has a curly hard maple handle, also in the original pattern. A little more on Dogwood. It is not commercially available and not well known, but it is my first choice for a tough and beautiful handle material. It is MUCH harder and tougher than even hickory! It also has a very fine grain and a milky, cream color that is even more gorgeous that in the pictures. It Is similar to English boxwood in grain and texture, but whiter in color. You will love this wood! Laminated steel blades(all but the 1/4 inch). Flattened and sharpened on water stones. Scary – shaving – sharp! Some pitting on some, hardly any on others. Sizes(approximately): 3 wide by 31 1/2 overall! 2, 1 3/4, 1, 1/2, 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4. These are the finest timber framers that you are ever likely to see. Do a Google or Pinterest search and see if you can even find a photo of a comparable set. The laminated steel is nothing short of legendary, and there is no finer maker than Mr. I assure you that they will put a big childish grin on your face every time you pick one up!
