Michihamono, a Japanese company recognized for producing high-quality carving tools, has created an exceptional small-sized woodworking short bent gouge. This tool is made of heat-treated, high-speed steel that has a high level of hardness and abrasion resistance, which is a great steel for wood carving. The blade is guaranteed to be razor-sharp right out of the package and ready to use. It also maintains its sharpness for a long time and can be easily re-sharpened when the blade becomes dull. The wooden handle is constructed of cherry blossom wood with a smooth finish, making it comfortable to grip and use for long periods of time.

This short bent tool is ideal for carving hard-to-reach areas of wood without fouling the edges. It features a spoon-like bent blade that is ideal for producing concave cuts in tight spaces. To carve wood in various radiuses, purchase this tool along with other short bent gouges in various sizes (each sold separately).
