Hey guys, been a long time since I posted here, but…
Has anyone else noticed the Japanese chisels listed in the Grizzley catalog? They are dirt cheap at about half the price of other retailers, but I was curious how they are? They look exactly like the Iyoroi I use and enjoy, but it doesn’t seem possible at that price. Does anyone have any experience with these chisels?

I haven't used the Grizzley chisels, but based on my experience living here in Japan I can tell you this: the fact that a chisel is "japanese" has no bearing on its quality. A variety of steels is used, so the cheap chisels aren't likely to be any better than your common Marples or whatever.

hey Norm,
I'm going to be in Tokyo next month, can you recommend any woodworking places of interest or a good place to buy hand tools?
