Carve fine grooves and channels in your wood with this wood carving gouge with a 1.5mm wide blade. This tool is constructed of Aogami Super, a type of steel commonly used in making cutting tools because of its high hardness and ability to maintain its sharpness for a long time. This tool can be easily honed to a sharp edge when the blade becomes dull, providing you with many years of excellent service.

The blade is accompanied by a sturdy wooden handle that feels comfortable to hold thanks to its smooth, rounded design. This 1.5mm wood carving U gouge is ideal for carving fine details and reaching tight areas in wood.
