japanese chisels


I'm researching Japanese tools in preparation for some purchases for my course this fall.  I came across these very high end chisels on japanesetools.com.



Look at the pattern on these chisels!


Is this even real?  It looks like some kind of silk!


And as the chisel is sharpened, the grain of the metal (I never knew there was such a thing) is revealed.
