Japanese saw rasp
« on: February 17, 2017, 12:47:21 pm »
I got one of these from Lee Valley. I don't use the handle, I made one much like a file handle. Anyway, has anyone seen a wider one of these? This one is 1 1/8" wide and once in a while it rolls in my hand and digs in or maybe it's the opposite :) I thought a wider one might be a little more stable.

Not like that.  I have a Shinto rasp with two different sides and love the thing.  Also, a small pull saw.  I really enjoy using them.

It looks like this now. I couldn't get used to that handle so I sent it back to Lee Valley and just ordered a replacement blade. How wide is your Shinto?

You can buy Shintos in both versions, but no wider.

Darn, I really like it, it fills the gap between farriers rasp and scraper. I guess I'll just get used to it. It's a poor man blames his tools :D
