Shinto saw rasps

Craft tradition from Japan

The use of high-quality tools and materials is an important aspect of traditional Japanese crafts, including woodworking. It is therefore not surprising that special rasps also come from Japan. This classic Japanese hand tool comes with at least 160 years of history and has been improved over the years.

For example, there is a patent from the USA for a saw rasp from 1868. Today's highest quality saw rasps are made by Shinto in Japan using the latest technology. Here, too, there are always improvements, such as the new, wear-resistant, rubberised handle that has been in use since the end of 2022 and fits very well in the hand. Now it is easy to buy Japanese quality woodworking tools from Shinto in our online shop.

Quality features of Japanese Shinto saw rasps

• Hardness and steel selection: Like the well-known, high-quality Japanese saws, the Japanese Shinto saw rasps are also made of hardened steel. high durability and a very good edge retention are thus guaranteed.
• Tooth formation: The teeth of the Japanese Shinto saw rasps are very finely formed and sharp. In addition, the special rasps from Japan have two "strokes" or tooth sizes.
• Versatility: Japanese Shinto rasps are very versatile and can be used for various types of wood, plastic and other softer materials. They are particularly popular for making furniture, jewellery boxes and in model making.
• Easy to handle: Due to their hardness and number of teeth, Japanese rasps are very easy to handle and require little effort. This allows you to work quickly, easily, precisely and accurately, on surfaces without tiring.
• Durability: An outstanding feature of Japanese saw rasps is that they are very durable due to their high hardness and quality.
