For Yous Tasai Japanese Dovetailing Chisels

Here is my ready of Tasai dovetail chisels bought many years agone from 'The Best Things' inwards the US. They are however selling them at in 1 lawsuit http://www.thebestthings.com/newtools/tasai_japanese_bench_chisels.htm

I made a dainty lilliputian box for them from rare Andaman Padouk, purchased from the widow of the slap-up Alan Peters. This woods was a favourite of James Krenov, my other hero.

These are beautifully weighted chisels as well as only superb to handle. Unlike other Japanese dovetail shaped chisels, these are genuinely suitable for getting correct into the corners of dovetails. Instead of finishing with square edges, they are angled sufficiently to larn by amongst the corners without bruising.

Tasai is to a greater extent than famous for his dramatic as well as showy Damascus chisels which 'The Best Things' also sell. But I only dear the agency these all dark chisels are as well as then understated, no fancy layering, no multiple hollows and no exotic handles. Just beautifully made, superbly balanced as well as extremely practical.

The handgrip maker (I've forgotten his name) discreetly leaves his grade on the scarlet oak handle.

And the famous Tasai mark, in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than discreetly stamped on the blade. If you lot bought a ready you lot wouldn't live on disappointed amongst either the look, the experience or the performance.
