Japanese Kinari Nomi Paring Chisels

In Japan these long fine chisels are used to pare and fine tune inside deep and complex joints. That said Kinari Nomi has a slightly different function than that of the European version of this particular tool, but still has a reach of approximately 125mm if used in the same way. However they are very fine and functional tools, overall length is 350mm(14"), the lack of a steel hoop at the top of the handle indicates these chisels are to be used by hand only and not struck with a mallet.
