Michihamono designed this excellent quality, medium-sized Japanese 9mm flat round woodcarving chisel while thinking of woodcarvers and their desire for smooth, clean, and effortless cuts every time. This flat chisel is made of high-speed steel, an alloy tool steel that is primarily used as a cutting material because of its great hardness and wear resistance, making it ideal for wood carving. The handle of this tool is constructed of Japanese cherry blossom wood, and it is ergonomically designed for comfort when using it.This quality woodcarving chisel is sharp and ready for use straight out the packaging. This tool's blade is flat, but with the edges curved so that they don't penetrate the wood as deeply. This wood carving tool is a fantastic choice when cutting straight lines with softer edges. It's also incredibly useful for levelling the backgrounds in relief carvings or finishing woodwork.Approximate Dimensions & Product Data: Blade Material:High-Speed Steel Blade Width:9mm Handle Material:Cherry BlossomWood Handle Length:180mmPlease note: The blade edge is sharp, keep out of the reach of children.
