    Re-filing Japanese chisels

    I recently received two chisels which Stan was good enough to have made for me. These are a representative sample before ordering a set. I’m very happy with the overall quality however the file work is less than desirable. Stan said he spoke with the blacksmith and was told that was as much detail as he was willing to do. Stan also informed me that this style of chisel is seldom made anymore and I suspect I may be fortunate that the blacksmith is willing to make them.

    Does anyone one have experience reworking chisels? I had very little experience metalworking and would like to avoid making a slightly clumsy tool even more so.
