This unique wood rasp construction is made of 10 hardened saw blades zizag bent and riveted together to produce a wide cutting surface. Because of this waffled design clogging is eliminated. They are made for working on wood, but are suitable too for soft metals, plastics and plaster. With this rasp material can be removed extremely fast.
The teeth extend to the edge which makes working in corners very easy.
Each rasp has two working sides. The coarse side is for shaping and fast removal of material and the fine side for finish cut.
Available in 200mm and 250mm blade length
Features
Made of 10 riveted double sides saw blades Non-clogging design

Didn't know what to expect as I've never owned a rasp before - but this one came highly rated. After getting to know this tool over the past weeks, I'm amazed at what it can do. The design is incredibly functional and efficient. Ergonomics are good, all things considered. Both the rough and finer faces are quite sharp and the tool is overall very sturdy and well-made. I've used it so far on pine, cherry, and oak and it has performed flawlessly - eats through all of them, soft and hardwood, without any hesitation or difference in effort.Some reviewers noted that the stiffness of the overall unit ( wooden handle connection with metal rasp) eventually loosens - I haven't experienced this so far. I plan to do a long-term review after I've really put it through the paces on an upcoming furniture build. So far, a great tool at a reasonable price!

Ok, this is a pretty cool idea. I build primitive wooden bows and have years of experience working wood with a variety of hand tools. Once I lay down the carpenter's ax, it's all about the rasp for me in bow building. I typically use a farrier's rasp, then a fine Nicholson #49. Sometimes I follow that with a small 4-in-hand before I move onto scrapers. I bought this rasp along with a Stanley Surform to provide a breadth of experience in the use of various tools in a bowmaking class that I am teaching.My impression after my first few uses of the Shinto Rasp are very favorable. It looks and feels very well made. It is light in the hand and removes wood very well without tearing out the grain or gouging the wood. It's aggressive, but smooth and easy to handle. It was instructive to watch the first-timers handle the different rasps. First the farrier's rasp, then the Surform, then the Shinto. The Shinto got all the Ooohs and Aaahs.The farrier's rasp ($20) is effective for roughing off lots of wood, but it's long, heavy, harder to handle, and more likely to tear out wood. The Surform ($11) seems very cheaply made, like the cheese grater it resembles, and it snags and tears at the wood. It may work for rough shaping if you use a vise and both hands. One advantage is that the cheese grater design won't clog with wood. I'll know more soon. The Shinto ($33) is lighter and better quality. You can use both hands and the coarse side to remove lots of wood fast, or one hand and the fine side for smoothing and finishing. It doesn't hang up, tear out chunks, or leave gouges. It won't clog at all. The Nicholson #49 ($60) is also awesome. Same sort of advantages as the Shinto with the added advantage of 1 flat side and 1 rounded. It will clog. But I hear that they are not as well-made as they used to be. Your next step up would be an upscale rasp from a woodworker's supply ($100). Ouch.I look forward to using the Shinto more and exploring its potential. Right now, I feel like I will pick it up over the farrier or the surform. The only real disadvantage is that there is no curved surface. The narrowness and curved side of the #49 keep it in my starting lineup for shaping curvy areas. But the wide flat face of the Shinto is great for most applications. Combined with its aggressive, smooth cutting, choice of fine and coarse sides, no clog design and good price, the Shinto will probably wind up on my very short A-list of must have tools.

Excellent rasp for soft wood or hard wood. I have used it on rock maple, cherry, and walnut with good results. Coarse and fine sides remove material quickly and don't clog easily.

This rasp is amazing. It made carving this ash wood a breeze, I don't think I could have done it without this tool, it certainly saved me several hours of sanding. I really liked that the tool had two different teeth sizes, it gave me a lot of control over the piece.

I use this product as a hoof rasp for my horses and it works amazing!!! No clogging up and cuts through hooves like butter. With the fine leaves a nice finished look on hooves.

Effortlessly devours hardwood in a flurry of sawdust. It is very effective and easy to control with precision, requiring very little pressure. It make smooth, shallow cuts, which are easy to sand out. Im a bit disappointed with the build quality. The riviting on mine, is on the sloppy side and the handle isnt as secure as Id like. However, the way this tool is designed and constructed, these issues are no doubt an engineering challenge that would significantly complicate the build and increase price, to solve, therfore its forgivable. I have concerns about its durability, but at this price, its worth the risk for such a high performance tool.All its faults considered, its the best performing rasp Ive ever used. Ive completed a couple major projects with it and well gotten my money's worth, so if it ends up falling apart, Ill probably buy another.UPDATE:18 months of regular and often demanding use and this thing is still rockin'! I recently worked for more than an hour on an axe head, with a file. I was getting nowhere, so I put the Shinto rasp to it and in 5 min, had cut a clean, flat bevel on the blade. It shreds tempered steel, just like wood. More amazing, is that it didnt dull and still cuts wood like new. It was like the old Ginsu commercial where they cut rebar with it and then fillet a tomato. LOVE THIS MONSTER!

Wertig verarbeitet, Kunstoffgriff liegt gut in der Hand, da gummiert. Der Stahl ist offensichtlich gehärtet, zumindest die Zähne, da diese auch nach einigen Ästen im Kiefernholz keine Abnutzung erkennen ließen. Die Raspel hat eine grobe und eine feinere Seite, made in Japan.Der Abtrag ist immens, kein Vergleich zu den üblichen, grobzähnigen Holzfeilen. Wenn man das Werkzeug beidhändig benutzt, sollte man an der Hand, die die Spitze führt, einen Handschuh tragen. Nach der Benutzung reinigen und ggf. mit einem geeigneten Spray einsprühen, um Korrosion zu verhindern. I. d. R. sind gute Japanische Werkzeugstähle nicht rostfrei.Wer eine gute Holzraspel anschaffen möchte, dem kann ich dieses Produkt wärmstens empfehlen.
