Kote Nomi Chisels, Trowel (Crank‑Neck) Chisels
The chisel is designed for finishing narrow, non‑through grooves and other hard‑to‑reach areas.
Its bent neck reduces interference from the handle and neck, making it easier to work inside recesses and helping with concave surface trimming.
In addition, the blade features steeper side bevel angles than a standard chisel, so the sidewalls are less likely to rub against corners—making it well suited for dovetail groove and corner finishing.
Materials: Blade/ white paper steel #2, soft iron (laminated), Handle/ red oak

Cranked neck for groove-bottom paring
When finishing mortises or dovetail grooves, a standard chisel often can’t reach the proper angle because the handle hits the workpiece, making it difficult to pare the bottom cleanly. This is where this chisel comes in. Its cranked (offset) neck keeps the handle clear of the surface, allowing smooth, comfortable, and controlled paring.
