The MC Series is a line of professional medium-sized Japanese chisels dedicated to all types of carving, wood sculpture, and woodworking. Their compact size and total length of approximately 170mm make them excellent tools for both delicate forms and larger projects.

The extensive selection of blade shapes allows for the execution of many different ideas. The range includes:

• Straight chisels, semi-circular (concave and convex),
• Curved chisels,
• Spoon chisels,
• Skew chisels,
• Carving knives.

The chisels are entirely handmade in Japan—from the forging process to hardening, sharpening, and fitting.

These tools are crafted from high-quality Japanese white steel—Yasuki Shirogami. This is the top choice of material for producing chisels, knives, and planes. The chisels are set in oak handles and equipped with a loosely fitted ring that protects the end from drying out (excluding knives)—making them suitable for both hand use and mallet work. Before use, fit the ring onto the handle as deeply as possible so that the mallet only contacts the wood.

Japanese chisels have a characteristic hollow on the bottom, which reduces the contact area between the tool and the material (for this reason, the bottom part of the chisel is sharpened first, then the top).

The chisels come sharpened and ready for work.
