I ordered a gear upward of dovetail chisels made past times famous chisel maker Tasai from http://thebestthings.com/newtools/tasai_japanese_bench_chisels.htm
They accept a rattling understated all dark appearance. I volition endure making a particular box to identify these chisels too I'm rattling much looking forwards to putting them through their paces.
The sides are rattling sparse too ideal for dovetailing, the bluish steel is tough too best for difficult woods.
The Tasai postage inside a diamond shaping on the blade.
Here is the 3/4" chisel adjacent to a overstep character mokume chisel past times Tasai senior, this i is definitely not understated!
Here is a moving painting of i of my criterion chisels I role at shows, although the profile is dovetailed the sides were quite thick too required grinding downward to brand them suitable for fine dovetailing.
