Description
Description
This super-fine bladed carver's gouge is favoured by Japanese woodblock carvers for it's exceptionally fine cross section that retains the excellent cutting geometry of it's larger cousins.
Perfectly suited to detailed reliefs and fine textures, this curved-bottom gouge peels fine coils of timber from the work surface. View the video above to see Mike exploring the capabilities of this super fine gouge and some of it's larger cousins.
Please note that Michihamono have recently changed this model's handle. Whereas previously the handle had a square cross=section with brass ferrule, the handle is now of burnt oak with an oval cross section.
This has been done to encourage the carver to use only very gentle pressure and to hold the tool in a manner similar to a pencil grip.
Overall length: 110mm

I am using it for linocuts & it is great for very fine lines.
Excellent… just worried about my .05mm chisel… handle has split. Also curious how I sharpen it?
What a gem of a tool to use. Delivered incredibly quickly during isolation it was wonderful to start using and finding it performed even better than I expected.
I will use it on both linocut and woodblock artworks. It is comfortable to handle, produces sharp and clean cuts. Very happy with it.
Thanks JTA - this little gouge is such a great example of simple and excellent Japanese toolmaking. I'm going to be using it to carve lines for inlay of gold leaf on black lacquer surfaces - still practising at the moment, and it's a pleasure to work with.
Great for finer details that can't be knifed out
