Sarae Nomi : Japanese Woodcut Tool : Extra Shallow Chisel : 18mm

The great legacy of blade technology in Japan and the requirement for precision carving in the production of Ukyo-e prints gave rise to the development of carving tools such as these. Crafted from high-quality two-part steel: high carbon steel which holds the cutting edge, laminated to softer steel which provides strength with a little flexibility to help prevent breakage.

Please note: the tools leave the factory very sharp so please take care when handling.

A wide and extra shallow chisel for clearing non-print areas and flattening out gouge marks.
