Japanese Umeki Nomi Dovetail Chisels

Used mainly to clean up sharp corners when cutting fine joints. The Umeki-Nomi is also known as the Japanese dovetail chisel which describes its usage perfectly. The bevels along the sides rise steeply almost from the edges to a point in the centre, giving the chisel an almost triangular cross section, the perfect profile for dovetail work. Made with the classic tang and ferrule. The white oak handles are fitted with an iron hoop so can be struck with a hammer when extra force is needed. 9" long overall.
