Fantastic little tool, perfectly fits in your hand. Quality knife giving a perfect finish, couldn’t be happier.

Quality product, easy to use with an amazing finish to the tool

With the great advice from the staff I bought this chisel and it’s fantastic. Great quality, fits perfectly in the palm of the hand. Totally recommend the tools from Japanese Tools!

Wouldn't be without this one, light to handle, sharp makes gardening MUCH easer

Heavy/sturdy, lots of storage and looks great! Put some cardboard inside to reduce noise and it's a breeze.

This is so incredibly well made I feel bad putting anything greasy, sharp, or dirty inside it, which is difficult because I bought it to store tool sharpening supplies. It securely holds all my stones in the bottom, then stone holder and strop safely in the tiered sections.
The smoothness of its action compared to my other, generic hardware store tiered toolbox is hard to describe.
The handle is ideal, the two full length bars that also open the toolbox, it's really smart design.

I have finally purchased this book and glad i did. It has everything i wanted plus more to challenge my skills with my Japanese tools. Thank you JTA for having it in stock. I will send photos when i get to attempt some joints.

Great product. Ideal for cleaning up dovetail extensions. Fine and medium is all you need. I ground the teeth smooth on the pointed ends and that eliminated scratching of the flat surface

I ordered an art knife from JTA and absolutely love it. The blue-wrapped handle makes it really comfortable to use — but also gives it that special beauty that Japanese tools are known for. It cuts cleanly and feels like an extension of my hand. The whole experience was great: fast postage, no issues, and lovely service. I’ve always loved Japan, and somehow using this knife makes the act of making art feel a little more grounded and special. Very happy with my order.

Best tool I have bought for years.
I used this rasp for finishing shaping the Huon Pine transom on my Somes Sound 12 1/2 clinker wooden sail boat.
Used firmly it removes timber very quickly but then used lightly allows very accurate finishing to the awled pin prick marked from the pattern to a flat finish.

These tool boxes come wrapped in cardboard which is much nicer than plastic. You can cut down the cardboard to make a nice liner inside the box. It is a great gift for kids first tool box, artist tool box, bike kit, keepsakes etc. Much more sustainable and beautiful than plastic boxes. It will last sooo much longer too.

These tool boxes are awesome. Can take a small padlock. Built to last a longtime. Packaged well in cardboard only. I cut the cardboard down to make a liner for the inside of the box. The camber top does not tip over as easily as the flat top which is great. Makes a great present for kids first tool box, keepsakes, petty cash tin or toolbox. It's great to buy a tool box not made of plastic and not from the Big box store ;-)

I use this saw out 4x4 camping when it is required either for fire wood or clearing tracks etc
