[Kondo] Hex-Point Carbide-Tipped Chipping Chisel (Brass-Wrapped) Body:25mm (0.98") Carbide Tip:9x12mm (0.35x0.47") [KMF100103]

This handcrafted [Kondo] chipping chisel features a rugged hexagonal carbide tip attached to a comfortable round steel body. As a highly agile selection within the mid-weight tier, it seamlessly combines nimble handling with sufficient impact energy for versatile, all-around stonemasonry tasks. It is exceptionally well-suited for medium-scale edge clearing on structural blocks in Dry Stone Walling (DSW), shaping medium rock features in Japanese Gardens, and detailed architectural stonework.

The premium brass-wrapped sleeve provides excellent cushioning against high-frequency hand shocks, allowing for high accuracy. ⚠️ WARNING: This tool is recommended strictly for users accustomed to traditional brass joints. To prevent premature failure, you must lift the chisel with every strike; dragging along the stone or exposure to lateral impacts will cause the thick brass section to fracture.

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=25mm Carbide bits=9mm*12mm / Brass brazing) is a 1.0 kg thing. However, when there is little experience, please use SETTO lighter than this.
