I sharpened this tool on a 100 micron stone. The back and bevel are flat and sharp.Completely ready for use upon delivery. Could use additional honing on high grit stones if an intense level a sharpness is desired.
Blade is white steel (shirogami), Lamination line is nicely shaped.Steel... is extremely hard due to age hardening (austenite turns to martensite over time.) So you'll find a very dependable glass hard edge on this old chisel.Id estimate it to be around 60 years old.
Scuffs, blemishes, and patina are present. Lots of character.There is no rust on any portion that it would effect the performance of this tool.
Comes oiled and protected with camellia oil (all natural corrosion inhibiting oil made from green tea plant.)
Handle is in great shape. Made from Japanese red oak. No cracks or splits.
Comes with sugi (Japanese cedar) blade cover.
Please ask any questions you may have.Best offers are welcome.
