Their lightweight construction and ergonomic handles provide excellent control, making them perfect for both detailed work and material shaping.

This Iwasaki is a compact 100 mm half-round carving file designed for controlled shaping on small curves, rounded edges, concave surfaces and fine detail work.
Performing exceptionally on the hardest timbers ( we tested every model on the hardest Australian hardwoods) It features Iwasaki’s unique spiral tooth pattern and chemically polished teeth, allowing the file to cut smoothly with light pressure while producing clean, precise shavings and a very fine finish.
