Kamiwaza tools are made in Sanjō, Niigata, one of Japan's oldest and most respected blacksmithing towns. The name means "divine technique", and the range brings traditional Japanese tool-making within reach of woodworkers who are new to Japanese tools.
Kamiwaza bench chisels use White Paper Steel #2 for a keen, easily sharpened edge, with Japanese red oak handles and hoops that come pre-fitted, so they are ready to set up and use straight away. The range also includes kanna planes and spokeshaves with Blue Paper Steel blades. They make a great first set for beginners and a dependable workshop choice for intermediate woodworkers.
