This very shallow Japanese gouge is designed for surface finishing , with a barely marked curve, close to that of a flat knife.

Unlike a round or even shallow gouge, this version preserves the cut marks , giving a deliberately textured and lively finish.
It is particularly appreciated for visible finishes , when one wishes to retain the character of handcrafted work.

Compared to a flat knife, the attack is softer , allowing for progressive and controlled work, ideal for finishing with small, repeated strokes .

The blade is made of HSS steel , offering excellent cutting performance and good wear resistance.

⚠️ Important information

• The smaller sizes are thin and can break if misused.

• Handle with care, especially for smaller sizes.
