These little wedges are perfect for
The Japanese Genno. Tap in with care and you will have the tightest fit possible. JTA even included one for free when I ordered my genno head. You just can’t beat JTA’s customer service.
Highly recommend!

I'm really enjoying this knife, it gets razor sharp easier than any of the stainless knives I used to use, and it's easy to maintain that sharpness.
The white carbon steel hasn't blemished at all after weeks+ of use, it still looks like new.

It's built a bit more solid than some of the more traditional Japanese knives, pinned instead of glued in place. The round handle is also a bit more familiar and comfortable than square or hexagonal handles. I like both, but that's a consideration.

This is an update to my previous review, updating to 5 stars.

This is keeping my carbon knives flawless and my chopping board looking nice.
I'm going to need a bigger bottle next time.

Incredibly easy to use. I don’t know how I’ve done without stops on my rulers for so long - it makes marking up a breeze. The stops are nice and shallow so can be used even on thin materials (unlike most squares). The rulers are very easy to read; no annoying half-mm markers. I bought the 15 and 30cm versions and am very pleased

Cuts quickly in plywood and gives a great edge, no sanding required for cleanup. Takes some practice to get a square edge, but easy to cut in a straight line and feels much more natural than a push saw

Great quality, feels right in the hand, small enough to be convenient. If you work with small parts that don’t require a full size calliper, this is perfect

I recently gave a pair of sécateurs to a friend for her birthday, so I ordered gift wrapping. It was very impressive, really nice paper and expertly wrapped. Great value.

I saw someone on YouTube gardening in Japan stating a way to save your knees is go use a good quality hoe. I googled and found this and it is incredibly easy and takes the impact rather than my body. I have hard clay and it ploughed through the weeds like it was made of butter, so impressed. highly recommend.

The best scissors I've ever owned to cut fabric, they are amazing and comfortable to use. They just feel like they are built to last. Thank you

I recently purchased several sizes of these wooden beech nails. It’s fun using them a bit different from nails & screws & just as effective.
I have finished making a traditional Japanese toolbox with them.

These chisels are very high-quality. They take razor sharp edge, and are built to withstand heavy hammering, with no damage to the red oak Handles.they are big enough to hold and use as a cleaning, planing chisels as well. I am highly satisfied with them. JTA has great customer service, as well as very fast delivery to the US.

I make sure that I never run out of Camelia oil as I use it to keep my cutting tools and printing press rollers clean and prevent them from rusting.

This is such a handy tool for gardening. It’s easy to carry and yet can cut relatively big branches.

Another saw that I bought for my husband. He loves these saws so much, he now owns several of them in various sizes.

I bought this saw for my husband. He was delighted!
