中屋隆志

Nakaya Takashi

Est. 1970s

A solo blacksmith operating a one-man workshop in Niigata, Nakaya Takashi represents the artisan model of Japanese toolmaking — small production, exceptional quality, and direct sale to professional customers. His Aogami Super chisels are acclaimed for an extremely deep ura hollow and a geometry polished to such precision that new chisels require minimal preparation before use. Wait lists for his work routinely extend two or more years.
