The Akagashi chisel blends Japanese craftsmanship with Western practicality. Its high-carbon vanadium-alloyed steel, hardened to 61 HRC, arrives sharp and ready to work. The substantial Japanese Red Oak handle is engineered for comfort and control, with a steel hoop firmly seated into the wood—a design built to withstand driving force and intensive use.
Set at 25 degrees, this bevel suits light paring, planning, and general work while remaining straightforward to sharpen. For mortising in hardwoods, please add a 30-degree or more micro bevel. Mill-finished and durable, it's a reliable hybrid tool for woodworkers who value precision and longevity.

Bevel guide
A 25° bevel, ready to work
These chisels arrive ground to 25°: keen enough for paring and general bench work, and quick to sharpen. When you move on to chopping and mortising in hardwood, a small 30° micro bevel at the very edge makes it much tougher.
As supplied
25° bevel, as supplied
A lower angle slices cleanly with less effort and is the easiest edge to keep sharp.
Best for: paring, trimming joints, cleaning out corners, light chopping and softwoods
Optional upgrade
25° bevel + 30° micro bevel
A narrow, steeper facet right at the edge, just 1 mm wide or less, puts more steel behind it so it holds up to the mallet without chipping. It only takes a minute on your finest stone.
Best for: mortising, heavy chopping and dense hardwoods like jarrah and spotted gum
Adding a 30° micro bevel
- 1
Sharpen at 25° Hone the main bevel as normal until you raise a fine burr along the edge.
- 2
Lift the handle On your finest stone, raise the handle about 5° so only the very edge touches.
- 3
A few light strokes Stop once a narrow, even facet appears across the edge. It only needs to be 1 mm wide or less.
- 4
Remove the burr Flatten it off on the back. Next time just re-hone the micro bevel, and regrind to 25° once it gets wide.
