Japanese Bent Neck Trowel Chisel. Kote Nomi. Laminated Shirogami No.2 White Paper Steel. Use to Pair Grooves, Dadoes, Sliding Dovetails, Rabbets, Mortises, Tenons, Etc. Hand Forged in Japan.

for the price point I would have expected it to be flat
instead the face was so uneven but given the hassle of customs etc I've sorted it myself.
I don't count this as part of basic tuning a higher end chisel like this
rest of it is fine
Great chisel,but no instruction for sharpening the chisel,i know i can find it on you tube,but little instruction about steel and sharpening would be nice
The shape is what I was hoping for. It's a bit larger than I expected, which is okay. The biggest concern is that the hollow is only what appears to be just slightly less than a sixteenth of an inch from the front edge. I frequently sharpen my tools and I feel like this is going to have a pretty limited life span before I remove enough material to hit the hollow.
The Chisel is fantastic; and really a joy for more precision work.
FYI: the box it came in was destroyed during the shipment. not a big deal but just making you aware for future shipments.
