matsumura bench chisel

[mike johnston]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a 30mm Matsumura bench chisel in white steel, and have it delivered in 10 days? I need it for a class I'm taking. Or a Japanese chisel of equal quality.

Thanks Mike

I know that Hida Tools, in Berkeley (or perhaps Albany) sells Matsumura chisels. I'd call them and ask (I don't know if they update their website regularly). They are nice folks. -Howard

thanks will give them a call

Japanwoodworker.com sells Matsumura chisels.

Mike, as I posted on the hand tools forum, I would not go near Matsumura. They are about the same price but not in the same class as Koyamaichi, which you can order from Lee Valley and have delivered within your time frame.

Thanks everyone found a chisel. Really anxious to compare it to my Blue spruce chisels, as it will be my first Japanese chisel.
thanks Mike
