The hardness is combined with a laminated-blade design, providing superb sharpening and edge holding characteristics - these chisels get super sharp and stay that way. We offer top Japanese Chisels from brands Iyoroi and Kumagoro. Japanese Chisels branded \"Iyoroi\" or more recently \"Ioroi\" are both authentic chisels by Master Ioroi and made in Miki Japan. With no exact transliteration of the Japanese name possible, the original Iyoroi brand has evolved to include Ioroi.
