This exceptional Japanese woodcarving U Gouge, from Michihamono, features a very deep sweep in its blade that is completely semicircular, which, when rotated along the path of the blade will form a complete circle. The blade, made from Aogami No. 2 Steel maintains superior sharpness and edge retention, ensuring clean, precise cuts. The blade is deeply embedded in a comfortable Japanese whitebark magnolia handle, providing a lightweight and comfortable grip that's great for extended use.

This mid size 4.5mm blade is ideal for creating deep, flowing channels in your woodworking projects. Deeper than a standard U-gouge, it excels at tackling undulating curves commonly found in decorative elements of figurines, like the clothing folds on Buddhist statues.

To use, simply secure your woodwork in place, then grasp as you would a pencil with your dominant hand. Motion the blade forward to remove unwanted wood from your wood carving, using your non-dominant hand to increase pressure, or guide the blade for extra precision. Use safety gloves to prevent injury.
