Mukoumachi Nomi

Mortise Chisel

Thick, sturdy chisels specifically designed for chopping deep mortises. The blade cross-section is thicker than Oire Nomi, providing the mass to resist twisting while being levered to clear chips. Often forged from tougher steels like Aogami #2 that resist chipping under heavy hammer blows.
