TASAI Japanese Chisel (24mm) - Damascus Steel (Mokume) & Sandalwood Handle [Preowned, Unused, SOLD]

Product Description

Blue steel cutting edge made of Tasai special blue steel, a custom made steel for master blacksmith Tasai which is laminated onto the special multi-layer core ''Mokume pattern''
The handle is made of sandalwood (and still has its protective film covering it which we have decided not to remove to allow you the privilege. However the photo will show a glaze rather than the true colour of the handle).
We find ourselves staring at the pattern on the back of the blade which is quite transfixing.

Attractive tapered steel ferrule and striking hoop.

Boxed.

Makers stamp on chisel.
