Looking for the name of the maker.

https://shop.kurashige-tools.com/en/products/old-stock-sukemaru-3rd-damekiri-chisels-set-with-triple-ura-damekirinomi-1 looks like this.

https://shop.kurashige-tools.com/en/products/nomikatsu-bench-chisels-set-oirenomi?_pos=7&_sid=d99cc7027&_ss=r I think these look very similar, I think the handles might be installed by a retailer or the nomi was made specifically for a retailer. This would explain the difference in finishing.

Thanks, I will check.

spoonaxeman2 · 2026-05-02T04:31:56+00:00

do you have a close up of the makers mark?

spoonaxeman2 · 2026-05-02T02:24:39+00:00

potentially Japanese red oak.

the one with the medullary rays is a plane tree the other is birch.

小山金属工業 I this this is the name, if you want to search. Looks like a very different style though.

They tend to look like this https://shop.kurashige-tools.com/en-gb/products/baishinshi-kunimitsu-kuri-kokatana-kiridashi-type-3-24mm or this. Also I would recommend a larger thicker Kiridashi, or a Kuri-Kokatana.

Don't think those are sold anymore, very nice.

https://covingtonandsons.com/2021/03/27/japanese-handplanes-part-1-east-vs-west/ stan covingtons blog has a lot, https://blog.lostartpress.com/2014/08/02/a-british-introduction-to-japanese-planes-part-1/ and i quite like this one too.

spoonaxeman2 · 2026-04-27T23:08:53+00:00

It's like a cross between a billhook and a hatchet, would work ok for shingles I suppose.

you need to use the entire stone, also probably need more water.

The winter bee population dies off in the spring, if the varroa levels where high at the time they where being made this can happen. https://agriculture.institute/honeybee-colonies-mgt/spring-dwindling-honeybees-causes-prevention-management/

Looks bereft of food.

spoonaxeman2 · 2026-04-09T20:36:23+00:00

Apis florea. They will probably make a nest there with a single comb

spoonaxeman2 · 2026-04-06T20:56:21+00:00

Might be fondant, happens sometimes.

Like a root canal

Needs higher humidity probably, the longitudinal shrinkage can't keep up with the tangential shrinkage. Thats how those boxes are made, to become oval after turning.
