Mortise Chisel / Mukomachi Nomi / Japanese Carpentry / Vintage

Description

IMPORTANT NOTE:
We are able to ship to most countries in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and North America. Due to the pandemic, however, there are still some countries in Europe and elsewhere that we cannot ship to, and so those countries remain blocked.
Please also note that tracking is available to most countries in Asia and Europe (Japan Post’s fee is an additional US.50 per parcel), but not yet to North America and Oceania.
This Japanese mortise chisel appears to be 40 or so years old. The small maker's mark seems to say, "Hidesada", and the blade is laminated.
There is general wear and dustiness, with some spots and patches of mostly minor oxidation, but there is no significant structural damage. The cutting edge is blunt and a little ragged.
Overall, this chisel seems to be usable, but it may need cleanup and corrections.
Size:
L10 11/16" (271mm), while the cutting edge is about W23/32" (18mm).
This item is set to ship via Air Mail, and should arrive within 7-14 days after being posted.
The postage charge shown for this listing applies to shipping anywhere in the world outside of Asia.

General Note about Shipping:
Unless otherwise indicated, we ship all of our items via Standard Air Mail. Nonetheless, we are always happy to change shipping methods if faster (and thus more expensive) or cheaper (and thus slower) shipping is desired. The shipping options available are (from fastest and most expensive to slowest and least expensive): EMS, Air Mail, SAL (economy airmail), Surface.
Registered mail with tracking is also available for an additional US.50 above the standard Air Mail shipping cost stated in the description.
We are glad to combine multiple items for shipping, and of course will discount some of the postage charges for each item after the first one. Please note that the shipping discount is not large for heavy items, but for small, light things we will discount the shipping charges by 40-100 percent, depending on how heavy it is and how it needs to be packed.
We ship at least once and very often twice a week, and so most of the time items will be in the mail within no more than 10 business days after we have received payment. We also always send a brief note informing buyers when their items have shipped.
