9 Shinto Saw Rasp by Shinto

This is an awesome tool worthy of its price and some respect. It does exactly what it says it does, that is, chew through wood like its not there. The two grades are good for removing and smoothing your work before hitting it with some sandpaper. A word to the wise though. The teeth are sharp and after a while, if you aren't careful, you'll notice that your fingertips start to fray. I wrapped some tape around the end to prevent it rasping away my fingerprints. But, that is a minor consideration faced with the fact that these are a beast of a tool. Love it, love it, love it.

I do appreciate a bit more expensive than a lot of rasps on the market but it really is worth the money. Well made strong and does what it says on the tin. Easy to flip sides from rough and smooth teeth. With firm pressure you can remove a lot of wood using the rough side and with a more delicate touch and using the smoother teeth you can get a fairly good finish that only needs a bit of sanding to make it acceptable. I would whole heartedly recommend this product.

It is a well-crafted tool that works well.

I had never heard of a Shinto file/rasp until a friend recommended buying one. The tool is not cheap but my goodness it’s well made and does what it’s supposed to do remove, material, no problem. Highly recommended! Great seller order arrive promptly.

Great tool for shaping wood. Sharp and easy to use.

Good

Seems to be excellent for the job

Simply brilliant. I used it first to shape a piece of wood for my vice, to match the shape of the vice itself. One side very aggressive, but not damaging, the other side leaving as clean a surface you you could realistically ask for. Very useful. Next, I'm going to try using to clean up large joints. It nicely weighty, and has a lovely solid, well made handle.

You have to wield it to know the beauty of this tool.

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.

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

Excellent service, awesome tool, fine and course rasp in the traditional push method of Japanese tools
