Iwasaki "carving files" – Japanese precision files developed for controlled material removal with a high finish. Made in Japan and known for their special tooth geometry that cuts chips instead of tearing material, which results in less clogging and a cleaner surface. Unlike traditional rasps, Iwasaki combines fast material removal with good control. The result is efficient shaping without damaging the surface – often saving a step in post-processing.

Three of the models have flat working surfaces for shaping surfaces and adjusting fits. The fourth model has cutting teeth on the short side and is used for opening up grooves and working in tight spaces.

We primarily sell these as tools for re-handling Japanese knives.
They are very well suited for:

– adjusting and adapting the hole in wooden handles
– fine-tuning the fit between tang and handle
– working precisely in hard woods without splitting the material

Also excellent for general shaping in wood, bamboo, plastic, and composite.

Supplied with a red protective sheath made of rubber-like material.

Sold individually or as a 4-pack.
