This 1.5mm Japanese hand wood carving gouge is excellent for carving very fine u shaped flutes and channels in your wood. Great for the most delicate of cuts and carvings when only the finest detail will do.

The U Gouge, or Gouge, wood carving tools, are designed to carve channels in your wood work, however, the extremely narrow blade of this tool makes it excellent to carve intricate patterns and grooves of the finest detail.

The blade of this tool is made of quality, high-carbon steel, giving it exceptional strength, its tang buried deep with the pine wood handle of this tool, ensuring the blade will not come loose. The handle of this tool is smooth and is made to be manipulated with one or two hands as the need arises.

Quality made in Japan.
