But it definitely looks cool.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a Fujihiro bench chisel, multiple hollow, with a red oak handle.  12mm (1\/2\u201d).  I got it from hidatool.com.  It\u2019s hand forged by Chutaro Imai, a blacksmith who has been making chisels almost 50 years and is located in Sanjo City, Niigata prefecture, Japan. These bench chisels are forged with white steel laminated to soft iron.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6928-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6928-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-578\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6928-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6928-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6928-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6928-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6928-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6929-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6929-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-579\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6929-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6929-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6929-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6929-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6929-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6930-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6930-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-580\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6930-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6930-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6930-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6930-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.thewoodwork.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/img_6930-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A while ago I bought a chisel for delicate paring of wood that I saw other woodworkers use.
