This steel is incredibly hard. The beauty of the hard steel is that it can be honed to a very fine cutting edge and it will stay sharp. However the blade will chip if the tool is used roughly or is used as a lever in the slightest bit. While we love to use these chisels, we do not recommend this tool for beginners or for anyone with a heavy hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHistorically, Japanese chisels (OIRE NOMI) were supplied to craftsmen neither sharpened nor fixed tight in their ferrule. It has always fallen to the user to convert it into a usable tool and thus make it his or her own. However, today manufacturers have come round to supplying chisels ready sharpened to a fine keenness with a resulting gain in time for the purchaser eager to use them.
