Hey guys, I've been making saya and tsuka now for a little while and I'm thinking about upping my game by acquiring those special chisels. Does anyone know where I can buy those for reasonably cheap? They can be second hand, missing woodwork is not a problem as long as the metal parts are fine. Thank you!
Ps. If this is the wrong place, please let me know where this belongs.

You don't need special chisels. If you want improved performance, all you have to do is sharpen your chisels on stones. That will give them a convex face, and they will work more like Japanese chisels. The chisels I use I got at thrift stores, and once they were stone sharpened they worked much better.

Well, guess I really have to try that. I thought about that but wasn't sure if it would work. Since it does I will try it.
