There's a 50-50 chance I'll be going to Japna this spring. If I do,
where do I go to find the world class chisels and knives? I just
thumbed through Lonely Planet (and the index, too) and didn't see any
mention....

Cheers and TIA.

I lived in Japan for 2 years. If I were going to Japan for a visit,
I'd spend my time sightseeing instead of looking for tools. The
language barrier constantly works against you. You'll be able to make
them understand that you want a chisel. Beyond that, communication is
difficult. Good tools aren't cheap over there either. Taxi fare
alone may eat any savings. Do your shopping with a reliable stateside
vendor by internet or catalog and enjoy your trip.
