[Kondo] Square-Point Carbide-Tipped Chipping Chisels (Kadokiri-Nomi) are precision-engineered masonry tools designed for refining stone surfaces after initial heavy chipping. While sharing the comfortable round body of the series, the tip is finely shaped into a sharp square point (Square-Point) with a perfectly square carbide profile. This geometry allows stonemasons to pinpoint and cleanly shear off smaller, remaining bumps and fine irregularities with high precision—making it highly effective for perfecting tight stone-to-stone contact joints in Dry Stone Walling (DSW), meticulously leveling and interlocking rock faces in Japanese Gardens, and establishing sharp internal corners or clean planes in architectural masonry and historic restoration.
Exclusive Brass-Wrapped Specification (Former "roll")
All items in this Square-Point series are exclusively crafted with the premium Brass-Wrapped structure. The specialized brass layer completely wraps the joint, absorbing sharp, high-frequency vibrations from your hand hammer. This cushioning effect ensures delicate control and maximum tactile feedback when meticulously leveling out stone surfaces. ⚠️ WARNING: This series is recommended strictly for experienced users. To prevent premature failure, you must lift the chisel slightly between each strike. Continuous dragging or exposure to lateral impacts (striking from the side) can cause the thick brass section to fracture before the carbide itself.
Handcrafted using centuries-old traditional forging and shaping techniques by skilled artisans in Okazaki, Japan, these specialized chisels offer the ultimate tactile control for fine stone detailing. Explore the collection below to choose your ideal size for professional-grade field operations.
