A very fine Japanese skew corner chisel, manufactured by Michihamono, makers of a wide range of carving tools to meet the needs of every carver, from beginners to skilled professionals. This tool is made from quality Blue Paper Steel (Aogami) No. 2 that is heat-treated for increased strength and a durable Japanese cypress wood as the handle.

The blade is easy to sharpen and can cut wood without leaving a rough surface. It features a 1.5mm wide cutting edge that is skewed to the right for carving very fine details on hard-to-reach areas of wood like deep corners and angles. This tool is paired with a left skew chisel, which is sold separately, to cut wood in either direction depending on the situation.

Kindly note the blade may be inserted into the wood slightly off-centre, this is a normal imperfection in the manufacturing process and should not affect the performance of this tool.
