Important: As tools used for finishing and adjusting joints, long Japanese carpenter's chisels (Tsuki nomi) are intended to be pushed only by arm strength; do not strike them with a sledgehammer or mallet, nor apply leverage to the blade, as this could seriously damage the tool, and no warranty can then apply.

Fine fitting of deep tenons and mortises.
Finishing of internal assemblies in hard-to-reach areas.
Carving or smooth internal parts of long pieces.
Work requiring precise control and long arms.
Fitting and assembly in carpentry and instrument making.

This extra-long Japanese wood chisel (called "Slick") is a traditional precision tool used by carpenters and woodworkers for setting, adjusting, and finishing deep joints.

With a total length of 580 mm, it allows access to hard-to-reach areas without resorting to angles or levers that could compromise precision. The extra-long blade (120 mm) is forged from high-carbon, double-layer steel, combining excellent edge retention with ease of resharpening—traditional characteristics of the finest Japanese tools.

The significant blade thickness depth (12 mm) ensures the necessary rigidity for deep work, while the Japanese white oak handle, crafted for optimal comfort, offers good control and precision of movement, even on long passes.

This type of chisel is particularly appreciated in carpentry for fine adjustments of deep mortises or tenons, but also finds its place in lutherie, cabinetmaking or sculpture, where a long blade length is required to work internal surfaces or complex assemblies.
