This shallow scoop-type Japanese gouge has a gentler curve than a standard round gouge , allowing for shallow grooves and a regular concave finish .
When the classic round gouge leaves marks that are too deep, this tool becomes indispensable for smoothing and finishing the surface without altering the overall shape.
Thanks to its scoop-like shape, it is particularly well-suited for working on slightly concave surfaces , such as:
the inside of a wooden spoon head
the slight concave shapes
the internal finishing of figurative sculptures
the carving of cutlery and small objects
The blade is made of HSS steel , offering excellent cutting performance and high durability.
⚠️ Important information
The smaller sizes are thin and can break if misused.
Handle with care, especially for smaller sizes.
The width indicates the usable inside cutting width, not the outside width.
