Man that japanese chisel is sharp.
 

I was making a cut on a plane with my fantastic sword steel chisel from Misugi
designs. Been using it for a couple weeks since I sharpened it and it is still
very sharp. I did this Tuesday when the piece popped off and my wrist rotated
right into the chisel. Looks like it is closing up well but it can sure ache.
Makes gripping things a pain. Be careful out there.

Steve,
I have a band aid autographed by Roy Undrhill.
If I send you a band aid, will you autograph it so I can start a collection?

If he pushed a chisel into his wrist, he's lucky that he wasn't
hurt worse. Sounds like a bandaid may not be enough. Even a dull
chisel is sharp and you can make a nice slice before you can
react.

Hey Steve..
Would you buy the other less often used Japan woodworkers chisels
again, would you save for the Misugi's one at a time?

A Wendy's chili joke here would be in really poor taste, wouldn't it?

Thought so.

A lot of folks can't understand how we came
to have an oil shortage here in America.

Well, there's a very simple answer...nobody
bothered to check the oil; We just didn't
know we were getting low.

The reason for that is purely geographical
- our OIL is located in Alaska, California,
Oklahoma and Texas.

Our DIPSTICKS are located in Washington, DC.

Something like that. The little P-11 bites my thumb knuckles before
a single box is empty.

Kel-Tec? I've got one but it's never bitten me. The trigger pull has worn me
out though.

The scab is 1/8" in diameter, more a nibble than a bite. But say what?
You don't like a 4' long, 10.5 lb. pull? Gee, I wonder why. It's a
good thing to have on a piece which doesn't have a safety.

Yeah, it fits my hand just low enough that the curve of the body is
driven right into the top of the thumb knuckle each time it's fired.
I have to remember to put on either gloves or bandaids before I go
practicing at the range.

I love the white steel chisels. they must hold an edge twice as long. but the
lower end Japanese chisels from Japan woodworker are fine. they just don't hold
an edge as long as the high end chisels. but they are far better then most
chisels out there. I am not talking the cheapest they sell but the white or blue
steel lower priced ones.

Yah. I just got one Japan Woodworker branded chisel to see what the fuss
was about. Fit and finish were about the same as any other chisel in that
price range. My JW chisel is comparable to my FatMaxes, but
better than my Blue chips. Took about the same amount of time to tune it
up to useablility. The "hollow" is poorly ground, not tapped out (in?). To
be fair, it's the 1/8" size; maybe the tiny ones are built differently
from the wider sizes.

With my whoppingly huge sample size of 1, I'd say that the JW brand isn't
a good choice. For only a little more, one can get the ones Steve
mentioned in his post.

Shure is purty, tho. ;)

Probably some sawdust/wood fibres made their way to the wound,
coagulating and plugging the hole....G.. that bubinga is good for
that...

Right. Me too. Mine is item C. You were referring to item A?

To Mr. Knight and anyone else, how do these hold up to tropicals? IIRC,
most traditional Japanese woodwork is softwood, maybe some oak now and
then (Odate's 'Spirit' book).

right a or b are the better ones.
I just sharpen them to a 30 degree bevel and they are fine.
