Chisel Hoops

[Seth]

Now that I am retired I am resurrecting the wood shop. I have some Oiuchi chisels I bought 40 years age. (Did I really just say that?) I need to source some missing hoops - the rings that go around the top of the handle. Does anyone have a clue as where to get these? Thanks, Seth

Some of the Japanese knife sellers also sell chisels. Try contacting some of them.

Hida tools will do it...thanks Mr. McMan. I can't wait to spend $4000 on some chisels as well!
