This deep U-gouge Japanese chisel is designed for woodcarving, hollowing out pronounced concave shapes, and creating deep reliefs. Its deep curve allows for efficient material removal while producing clean grooves and rounded volumes with well-defined contours.

Made from Aogami #2 (Blue Steel #2), it offers exceptional sharpness, excellent edge retention, and high precision. Ideal for carving folds, waves, decorative patterns, and complex organic shapes, it allows for expressive reliefs with optimal control. Its ho (Japanese magnolia) handle ensures a comfortable and natural grip for long carving sessions.
