This Tendō Japanese shallow gouge is designed for precise wood carving, finishing work, and shaping gentle curves. Its slight curvature allows for gradual material removal while maintaining excellent control, making it ideal for smoothing surfaces, refining details, and creating shallow grooves with great precision.

Made from HSS (High Speed Steel), it offers excellent edge retention and high wear resistance. Its long blade facilitates work on both large surfaces and delicate details, while its hinoki (Japanese cypress) handle ensures a light, comfortable, and perfectly balanced grip. A tool of choice for carvers seeking clean, fluid, and controlled finishes.
