Iwasaki “carving files” – Japanese precision files developed for controlled material removal with a high finish. Manufactured in Japan and known for their special tooth geometry that cuts chips instead of tearing material, resulting 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 a flat working surface 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 confined 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 controllably in hard woods without splitting the material

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

Comes with a red protective cover in a rubber-like material.

Sold individually or as a 4-pack.
