[Kondo] Square Point Carbide Tipped Chipping Chisel (Brass Wrapped) Body:13mm (0.51") Carbide Tip:3x3mm (0.12x0.12") for Character Carving [KMF090106]

This specialized, ultra-slim [Kondo] square-point chisel—traditionally known as a Jibori-Nomi—is purposely engineered for carving intricate characters, text contours, and highly detailed stone inscriptions. Featuring an ultra-lightweight 13mm body and a microscopic 3x3mm square carbide tip, it grants master-level tactical feedback for executing flawless letter contours on commemorative monuments, decorative components in Japanese Gardens, and historic stone restoration.

The protective brass wrap effectively dampens rapid, repetitive hammer shocks during patient, long-duration inscription work. ⚠️ WARNING: Due to the delicate nature of this ultra-fine section, correct technique is mandatory. A slight lift between strikes is required to prevent the small brass section from fracturing under continuous dragging or lateral side stress.

Please adjust an angle in Aoto of the GC whetstone 120H according to the stone to be used before beginning to use. When using it for soft stones, such as the Shirakawa stone and an Oya stone , it is about 60 degrees. In the case of granite, it is common to adjust to an obtuse angle rather than 55 degrees.

If you are a professional, the optimal SETTO for Angle picking Chisel (Diameter=13mm Carbide bits=3mm*3mm) of this size is a 0.8 kg thing. However, when there is little experience, please use SETTO lighter than this.
