9 Shinto Saw Rasp

Recommended by a friend who builds and restores wooden boats. Hands down the best rasp I’ve ever used. Mainly use it for decoy carving and it works like a dream. Super sharp and efficient, never have to worry about it clogging up dulling.

With a rough side and a fine side this Shinto rasp fills the gap between a farrier rasp, which is often too rough, and a file which can’t remove enough wood. It removes wood quickly without tearing up the piece.

I was very impressed with this little tool. I have a coat closet door which was sticking at the top and made the door harder to open and close. I tried all the remedies out there which didnt work. I came across a video which suggested to use a Rasp for such a job. Within less than 5 minutes I was able to get the door to no longer stick. I didnt need to apply a lot of pressure because this baby is super sharp. I cannot wait to use it for my next DIY project.

I discovered the Shinto rasp while working at a friends wood shop and I immediately fell in love. Not only its a beautiful piece to look at, but its just amazing who efficient and effective it is! Im using it to make the body contours on solidbody electric guitars, and Im actually looking forward to the next time I need to use my Shinto, now that I bought my own!

This thing chews through hard maple like an angle grinder but WAY more controllable. If you want to carve a guitar neck from a billet in about half an hour to an hour, dont even think twice. I9ts truly the best hand tool I have ever purchased and it was very inexpensive. Great value for the money.

This is my first Japanese style rasp and Im extremely impressed. It removed more material in 20 minutes of work than my traditional rasp did in almost an hour. This is my new go to for hogging off material.

The rasp cuts fantastic. My only issue was that there were no detailed product dementions. If they would have been listed I would have got a different rasp from them because this rasp is wider than I would have liked.

The open design of this style wood rasp works perfectly and effectively at shaping wood.

This wraps really cuts well and you can remove a lot of material. Has both a course and fine side. I have used it for shaping some home made banjo necks.

I am impressed with how this removes material! Both the course and fine side do an excellent job with little to no effort.
