This set of 7 Seigen Japanese gouges embodies the excellence of the Japanese woodcarving tradition. Forged from Aogami Super steel (Blue Paper Super Steel) , one of the highest-performing steels produced in Yasugi, Japan, these gouges offer exceptional cutting quality and remarkable edge retention .
Their high-carbon steel construction allows for an extremely thin blade, ideal for precision work, while maintaining high wear resistance. The hammered finish (tsuchime) on the body and the integrated handle design make it a balanced, robust, and comfortable tool to use.
This set covers all the needs of traditional Japanese sculpture: deep carving, finishing of flat surfaces, fine lines, working of angles and hollowing.
A rare set, intended for demanding sculptors seeking an authentic Japanese cutting edge .
