TASAI "Wakizashi" Chisels
These chisels are very sturdy and compact carpenters tools. They have a reinforced tang (up to 15 mm thick) and are 23 to 24 cm long. They are used in Japan on construction sites for wood structures. These chisels are carried in closed belt pouches which ensure the safety of the user when moving, even if they are high up in the scaffolding. The belt pouch is made from three layers of sturdy leather sewn and riveted to make it impenetrable. These chisels get their name from the short Japanese second-sword “Wakizashi”. The cutting-layer is made of TASAI Special Blue Steel, a custom metallurgical formula made only for Tasai.
