Japanese chisel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Japanese chisel or Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is made on similar principles to the Japanese plane. There is a hard blade, called hagane attached to a softer piece of metal called the jigane.[1]
Types

- The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". has beveled edges for making dovetail joints.
Preparation
A Japanese chisel usually requires some set-up, called Script error: No such module "Nihongo".. The metal ring attached to the handle must be removed, the wood and ring filed to match, the ring replaced on the chisel and then the wood beaten down around the ring so that the mallet strikes the wood. The function of the metal ring is to prevent the wooden handle from splitting. The handles are often made of Red or White Oak.
Sharpening
Japanese carpenters use waterstones for sharpening.
