Dovetail Chisels Umeki Nomi

The blade of these dovetail chisels is triangular in section. This shape allows the chisels to be used to cut in tight corners, like dovetail joints, where the shape of a normal chisel prevents it from being used. These chisels are in general thinner than standard chisels, and so should not be used for heavy work. The steel used for the edge is the best available for these tools - White Paper Steel, handforged , and hardened to about 64 HRC
