This smaller size, high quality wood carving straight chisel with a very shallow sweep is crafted from high-quality Blue Paper Steel (Aogami) No.2, a steel that has chromium and tungsten added to it to give it abrasion resistant and frictionless smoothness. This steel is used in forging high-end Japanese cutting tools, making it ideal for wood carving. It is connected in a long, wooden handle made out of Japanese cypress that is light and ergonomic, allowing you to carve comfortably and provides better control.

This tool has a 4.5mm wide cutting edge that can be used for finishing flat surfaces of your small-sized wood projects. It produces very shallow cuts, great for adding fine details and smoothing out backgrounds of wood such as in relief carving, where undercuts are made.
