WTS Ouchi, 10 chisels set

This set is not for sale anymore, thanks to everyone who answered to my thread!

I like ouchi white steel more than TF white steel, sharpens easier, is similar in hardness and sharpness, slightly finer feeling

Thanks, you are right! I have a couple of his chisels, and they are absolutely amazing! They are working great in exotic woods like Ebony or rosewood, and keep their edge longer than any other chisels I tried

Some people like to bash ouchi as being inferior to the legendary Tokyo smiths, but having tried nagahiro, really the difference is so small and both are exceptional. Nagahiro is sharper but ouchi is closer to nagahiro, than tf is close to ouchi

Really wish I had an excuse to buy these, but sadly I don't... GLWS

If @refcast says the steel is that good then these must be superlative

@refcast & @ethompson , thanks for your kind words & Expertise!

You list 12 sizes, but a set of 10. I count 10 in the photos - am I missing something?
Spectacular set regardless. GLWS

My bad, I edit my thread. It is a 10 set pieces (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, 36 and 42mm)

Thanks for the notice!
