Plastic-free Policy:

Japanese Tools Australia is an environmentally conscious company and we endeavour to eliminate plastics in as many parts of our business as possible. Your purchase will be shipped in recyclable non-plastic materials, and we re-use cardboard and paper wherever possible in our shipping process.

Exceptions to plastic-free policy:

Unfortunately, we are required to dispatch some express items in pre-paid satchels and in such circumstances we have no choice but to use a plastic satchel. Please keep in mind these satchels are 100% recyclable. Our suppliers also use plastic in their packaging of some products, and we do not remove these protective measures before shipping. We are considering strategies to eliminate these two remaining sources of plastic in our shipping process. As many of our items are hand-made, they do not arrive to us or to you with extraneous packaging, though this is not the case for all of our products.

Breakage in shipping policy:

We pack our shipments in specialised materials to ensure that our customers find them in the same condition that we send them. If you receive your products in a damaged condition, please email info@japanesetools.com.au with your order number and photos of the condition of the products within a week of collection. If an item is deemed to have been damaged in transit we will replace it with like kind at no extra shipping cost to the customer.

If you are unhappy with the condition of your product and it has not been damaged in transit, please refer to our returns and exchanges policy. 

Description

This beautiful range of chisels by Ouchi-san is handmade by this master smith in his Miki city forge.

The edges are white paper steel and handles are forged from branches of Japanese white oak.

We have been fortunate enough to have examples of these chisels in our workshop for some time and have found ourselves creating excuses to sharpen and use them. Once properly tuned by their new owner, they take a phenomenally sharp edge willingly and are sure to become the new go-to chisel in your workshop too.

To get the best results from these chisels, we suggest setting the hoop properly (our hoop setting tool is useful in this application), lapping the back flat on a steel lapping plate with #1000 waterstone grit or fine lapping powder, and sharpening the bevel on waterstones.

Specifications:
Blade Length: 57mm
Blade Thickness: 7 to 9mm
Handle Length: 100mm
Total Length: 220mm

Ouchi-san chisel

Very nice to use, maintains a sharp edge for a long time. Would totally recommend.

The best chisels I have ever used

I bought a full set of Ouchi chisels about 26 years ago now and have used them ever since. They are a joy to use. They are superbly sharp, tough and durable chisels. By far the best edge holding chisels in my extensive tool chest. Very much a working craftsman's chisel, not a frivolous show pony for collector's. White oak is the best for striking chisels. I would not waste money on any other handle material except red oak.
