    Default Japanese Chisels

    I acquired this set several years ago from Japan Woodworker (?) I don't use them often, but when I do they are fantastic. I think I might baby them too much, so I don't always think to grab them. Do any of you use Japanese chisels as your regular go-to's?

    I've lusted after them for years! Just wanted them really.

    Now my impecunious circumstances, combined with more rational
    lines of thought, tells me I don't need them.

    I believe they are very tough Pete, so give ém a good workout and
    see how good you feel after the event!!

    I'm going to start working with them a lot more. Funny thing is that I've seen other woodworkers treat them rather preciously too. I've read lots of comments about how they're special and they only use them in certain circumstances. Seems kind of silly...I mean Japanese woodworkers have been producing amazing woodwork for centuries, right?!

    I've had mine for about 12 years, and they are my regular go-to chisels. Don't be afraid to use them.
