Lie-Nielsen Chisels

The japanese language and Chinese language have the same origins. .

Probably true but Turks, Mongols, Koreans and other Atlas mountain types are reckoned to have some skin in the origin game too. However, we digress. Where were we?? Focus guys. Was Li-Neil-san an East Asian tool guy? This must be the most "off topic" thread EVER! However, it bodes well for our little mid sized economy (The Mine) that we have so many Chinese (second largest economy) and Japanese (Third largest economy) speakers and Kanji jocks. Even on a liddle biddy Woodworking website. Amazing. I wonder how many languages all of the membership constitutes? And the combined expertise. Blows the mind. And a lot of it now in the heads of people now retired and nibbling grass and collecting Titan chisels. Go figure!

The nazi symbol is also a copy of the Indian Hindu symbol

It is also a Budhist symbol for peace, I understand. It is repeated endlessly throughout Asia in temples and pagodas but with the arms reversed from what the nazis used.

It was, believe it or not, used extensively by the catholic bishops in Germany prior to and including WW2.
