Watanabe Kiyoei is the blacksmith for Kiyohisa who makes some of the best chisels that have ever come out of Japan. He specializes in forging with white steel #1 which is a difficult steel to forge. He is known for producing chisels at low forged temperatures which results in a superior chisel. These are a new Kiyohisa 10 set of oire nomi (bench chisels) made with white steel #1 and come with white oak handles and a paulownia chisel box. Chisel sizes are 42mm, 36mm,30mm,24mm,18mm,15mm,12mm,9mm,6mm, and 3mm. I am selling parts of my collection that I have had for a while because I need the funds. All sales are final. Chisels will be shipped fully insured
**In the past 10 years there were legends of very long wait lists to buy his chisels which took sometimes 5 years.....They were true and have always benn very hard to get. I even have some more on order for more than 4 years.....but I have recently found out that Watanabe Kiyoei unfortunately has some serious health issues which put a stop to orders being made as he is not working. Shops in Japan that use to supply Kiyohisa are now not taking orders anymore as nothing is coming in.I do not know if Kiyohisa will be possible to get anymore.
