9 Shinto Saw Rasp by Shinto

This is a killer rasp, coarse and medium grit. Heavy duty. Will not clog. Sharp.

Great tool. Cuts like crazy on both the aggressive and finer side. My only complaint is after carving out this neck, the handle broke. It flexes toward the bottom now, so I have to choke up on the rasp or it’ll just keep bending, no big deal though. For how it well it works I don’t even care that the handle kinda sucks. Little bit difficult to get in tighter spaces, would be worth getting a smaller size if you plan on using it a lot.

Easy to use (might want to wear gloves for two hands use. Has two surfaces, coarse for fast material removal and a fine side for smoothing. For me this works better than traditional rasps. I wish I had come upon this years ago.

I didn't know I needed this tool until I saw Paul Sellers using one. Now I don't think I could do without it. Great for removing lots of wood for shaping and then flipping it over to the fine side for a more finished surface. I have been using it for more than a year and can't detect any dulling of the rasping surface. Great tool.

This is better than a hoof rasp to rasp horse hooves!!! You can rasp muddy feet If your hands are small, this rasp is easier and lighter and more comfortable. And it lasts longer and is cheaper!! Highly recommended!!

This item is amazing ! High quality rasp . Very sharp .

Effortlessly devours hardwood in a flurry of sawdust. It is very effective and easy to control with precision, requiring very little pressure. It make smooth, shallow cuts, which are easy to sand out. Im a bit disappointed with the build quality. The riviting on mine, is on the sloppy side and the handle isnt as secure as Id like. However, the way this tool is designed and constructed, these issues are no doubt an engineering challenge that would significantly complicate the build and increase price, to solve, therfore its forgivable. I have concerns about its durability, but at this price, its worth the risk for such a high performance tool. All its faults considered, its the best performing rasp Ive ever used. Ive completed a couple major projects with it and well gotten my money's worth, so if it ends up falling apart, Ill probably buy another. UPDATE: 18 months of regular and often demanding use and this thing is still rockin'! I recently worked for more than an hour on an axe head, with a file. I was getting nowhere, so I put the Shinto rasp to it and in 5 min, had cut a clean, flat bevel on the blade. It shreds tempered steel, just like wood. More amazing, is that it didnt dull and still cuts wood like new. It was like the old Ginsu commercial where they cut rebar with it and then fillet a tomato. LOVE THIS MONSTER!

Does a good job removing wood. I would like to update the review, to comment how long it stays sharp. but im sure il forget. But as of now it works good

A rough side and a smoother side. Can get a lot wood removed very quickly. No carpenter or bowyer should be without this rasp.

Es una maravilla. Nunca creí que devastar madera pudiera ser tan suave. Estoy maravillada

Super Werkzeug, lässt sich für viele Dinge verwenden. Ich bearbeite damit ausschließlich Holz, dafür aber auf unterschiedlichste Art und auch ganz verschiedene Sorten Holz. Selbst sehr harte Hölzer wie Iroko sind hiermit gut zu formen.

Excelente produto. Chegou no prazo correto.

Simply outstanding tool. Nothing comes close. . Used for shaping a custom hand made guitar
