Product care instructions:
- Regular sharpening with appropriate stones (Japanese stones, 1000/4000+ grit) to maintain a sharp edge.
- Clean after use: wipe away shavings and dust, avoid moisture buildup.
- Protecting the steel: a thin layer of maintenance oil after use prolongs the durability of the cutting edge.
- Check the handle: ensure that the ferrule and the grip are properly fitted for safety and efficiency.

Tataki Nomi wood chisels are traditional Japanese hand cutting tools designed for great versatility in the workshop. Their straight profile allows for clean cuts on flat surfaces, in rabbets, mortises, or when fitting tenons and other joints.

Each size — ranging from 6 mm to 36 mm — corresponds to a different blade width, offering a graduated progression of material removal depending on the work to be carried out:
- Small (6–12 mm) for fine adjustments, small details and light carving.
- Medium (15–24 mm) for general joinery or classic assemblies.
- Large (30–36 mm) for roughing or larger shaping.

These scissors are in keeping with the Japanese Nomi tradition: simple, rigorous and efficient tools, promoting clean cuts for a smooth and precise finish.
