This Japanese spoon gouge is specially designed for hollowing out and shaping concave surfaces with precision. Its curved blade naturally follows the contours of the wood, making it ideal for crafting spoons, bowls, plates, and other carved objects requiring meticulous interior work.

Made from Aogami #2 steel (Blue Steel #2), it offers excellent sharpness, high precision, and superior edge retention. Its short keyaki (Japanese elm) handle allows for a comfortable palm grip, providing optimal control and increased power during hollowing and detailed carving tasks.
