This Japanese Hakogata chisel is designed for woodcarving, shaping geometric forms, and creating sharp edges. Its vertical-edged blade allows for clean transitions, precise angles, and structured reliefs, offering a level of definition difficult to achieve with traditional carving chisels.

Made from Aogami #2 steel (Blue Steel #2), it offers exceptional sharpness, excellent edge retention, and high working precision. Its handle, made from ho (Japanese magnolia), ensures a comfortable grip and optimal control, making this tool an excellent choice for carved folds, sharp separations, and architectural details in woodcarving.
