Michihamono is a small maker of carving knives and chisels in Miki City, Hyōgo, Japan's traditional home of blacksmithing and hardware. The company began as a subcontractor making sickles and gradually turned its skills to carving tools, which are now its speciality.
Michihamono tools are used for an unusually wide range of crafts: carving Buddhist statues and Noh masks, Kamakura-bori lacquerware, woodblock printing, seal engraving and even eraser-stamp carving. Its high-speed steel blades are heat-treated by specialist firms, and each tool passes through several craftsmen in turn, from shaping and grinding the blade to fitting the handle and final inspection.
Alongside its carving tools, Michihamono makes the Hiyokko range of sickles and runs CARVY, an antenna shop in Tokyo. Its tools suit both beginners and professional carvers.

This versatile carving tool features a double bevelled design forged from high speed steel. It's shape allows it to be used on either concave or convex surfaces, cutting with either the long edge of the blade, the rounded front edge or the pointed tip.
The use of high speed steel in this tool's construction makes it suitable to work requiring good edge retention even in hard or difficult timbers. It's fine bevel is not at risk due to the use of this tough, ductile tool steel.
