Review on ๐Ÿ”ช Niji Yasutomo Wood and Linoleum Cutting Set - Set of 12 with 4-1/2 in Wood Handles by Carol Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For the price you can't ask for much more!

A great set for beginners (and maybe even masters)! I bought these because they look a lot like used Japanese chisels I bought on ebay and they have turned out fantastic. They are made in Tawain and upon closer inspection do not reach the quality of Japanese chisels, but for practical purposes it doesn't matter, at least in the short term, because they cut very well, and even after some tinting they have sometimes very hard dense wood (maybe African ebony). still a clear edge. They may not last as long as a Japanese set, but if they break or become unusable they are inexpensive to replace. Comes with a small sharpening stone which is a nice addition. They're great for very detailed work, but for more carving you'll obviously need a different set. The only thing I miss about this type of chisel are the handles. They are functional, I haven't broken one yet, but the handle is awkward for me and I would have preferred shorter and rounder handles on standard chisels. Definitely a nice addition and if you want to try wood carving this is a great set to see if you like it with a much nicer edge than any other cheap sets I've found. Act! and if you want to try wood carving this is a great set to see if you like it, with a much nicer edge than any other cheap sets I've found.
