KAKURI 3-piece Wood Chisel Set Professional Japanese Oire Nomi for Woodworking, Carving (Evergreen Oak)

Better than expected for such a budget set. Hoops are nice and snug and easy to set, nice matte black coating on the blades, sharpen up really well, steel seems tempered ok. The decal/stickers are just paper that would fall off easy, I fixed this with a few layers of clear nail polish, they came up a treat. The white oak handles are finished well and have a coat of varnish on them. The thickness of the oak handles gets thicker for every chisel which is nice, but they do not get longer. The chisels are only 22cm long all up, small but nice in the hand to use for carving. They feel a bit like butt chisels in the hand. The lamination is a 2mm sheet, I measured it on all 3 chisels plus a 42mm one I bought separately, 2mm lamination on all, it does the job fine. I'd guess this is how they are able to cut costs and sell these so cheap. I definitely recommend a set based on the price and quality. Cheers

I recently treated myself to the KAKURI Japanese Wood Chisel Set [Long Handle] 3 Piece, purchased from Amazon, and it has elevated my woodworking experience to a new level. Made in Japan, this set includes three chisels designed for carving, mortising, and dovetailing, and I’m thrilled with their craftsmanship and performance. The set arrived beautifully packaged, with each chisel showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that Japanese tools are renowned for. The standout feature is the razor-sharp edges of these chisels, crafted from high-quality Japanese carbon steel. From the moment I unpacked them, I could tell they were exceptionally honed. Testing them on various hardwoods, including oak and walnut, the blades sliced through with effortless precision, leaving clean, smooth cuts without splintering. Even after extended use, the edges retained their sharpness, requiring minimal touch-ups with a honing stone. The sharpness is a testament to their traditional Oire Nomi design, making them ideal for intricate tasks like dovetail joints and fine detailing. I was particularly impressed with how they handled mortising—clean, controlled cuts every time. Equally impressive are the long red oak wood handles, which offer unparalleled comfort. The ergonomic design fits perfectly in my hand, providing a secure grip that reduces fatigue during long sessions. The handles are smooth yet sturdy, with a natural finish that feels warm and pleasant to hold. The extended length adds leverage, making it easier to apply controlled force, especially on tougher materials. Unlike shorter-handled chisels I’ve used before, these allowed me to work with confidence and precision, whether I was chiseling by hand or using a mallet. The balance between the blade and handle is spot-on, enhancing control and minimizing strain on my wrists. The durability of the set is another plus—the steel resists chipping, and the handles show no signs of wear even after heavy use. The chisels come with protective plastic caps, ensuring safety during storage. For woodworkers seeking professional-grade tools, this KAKURI set is a fantastic investment. The combination of razor-sharp blades and exceptionally comfortable handles makes every project a joy. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a seasoned craftsman, these Japanese chisels from Amazon will not disappoint. I give them a solid 5 stars for their quality, comfort, and performance—highly recommended!

I've bought this from a seller called Japane Luxury or Japanese Luxury, they provide the best customer service I've ever seen. As for the chisels, they are the best in this category. Japanese well made and holding them and using them is a joy in itself. Arigatou

Buen tiempo de entrega. Pero los cinceles están usados, rotos de la protección y dañados de la punta. Obviamente los voy a regresar

Delivered on time, great set of chiesels.
