The 15mm Tataki Nomi Japanese Timber Chisel is a professional-grade striking chisel designed for heavy-duty material removal and structural woodworking. This type of chisel is engineered to withstand repeated mallet or hammer strikes, making it an essential tool for cutting deep, square-sided mortises for mortise-and-tenon joinery, general joinery, and chopping tasks. It features a forge-welded blade, typically consisting of a hard steel cutting edge supported by a soft iron backing. Key design elements include a hollow-ground back (ura) to reduce friction during cutting and simplify honing, and a tapered blade profile for improved clearance during deep cuts. The handle, often constructed from Japanese oak, is reinforced with a steel hoop (ferrule) to prevent splitting from the impact of striking.
