[Kondo] Hex-Point Carbide-Tipped Chipping Chisel (Brass-Wrapped) Body:28mm (1.10") Carbide Tip:9x12mm (0.35x0.47") [KMF100102]

This handcrafted [Kondo] chipping chisel features a rugged hexagonal carbide tip attached to a comfortable round steel body. Belonging to the versatile mid-weight tier, it offers a golden balance between steady driving power and lower physical strain, making it highly effective for all-around daily stone preparation. It excels at breaking down moderate high spots on wall stones in Dry Stone Walling (DSW), leveling rock faces for uniform seating in Japanese Gardens, and general architectural stonework.

The full brass brazing provides exceptional shock absorption, completely mitigating harsh vibrations transferred to your hands. ⚠️ WARNING: This premium structure requires proper technique. To avoid fracturing the thick brass layer, you must lift the tool slightly between strikes; continuous dragging or exposure to side-striking lateral impacts must be strictly avoided.

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 of this size (Diameter=28mm Carbide bits=9mm*12mm / Brass brazing) is a 1.0 to 1.3 kg thing. However, when there is little experience, please use SETTO lighter than this.
