Rasps come in where shaping no longer follows the laws of plane geometry. Therefore, they are indispensable for the cabinet maker, the violin maker, model builder or stuccoist. The best rasps are still cut by hand. Each tooth is formed individually with hammer and chisel and no two teeth are exactly the same. It is precisely this slightly irregular tooth configuration that ensures the smooth removal of wood and avoids clogging of the rasp. You can use these tools not only for hard and soft wood but also for leather, plastic, plaster and soft metal.

Hard carbon steel body, tempered tang. As they are handcrafted, the sizes of these rasps may vary slightly.

Cut:  3 = coarse;  4 = medium; 5 = fine; 6 = very fine; 7 = ultra fine

*Cerid Coating - PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology makes it possible to apply a thin ceramic film to metal surfaces to dramatically increase their resistance to wear.  Our cerid rasps have a 2 µm thick chromium nitrate coating which has been proven to be particularly beneficial in extending the life of carbon steel tools.  The mat-silvery coating extends the edge life by at least five times, reduces clogging and increases corrosion resistance without affecting the sharpness of the rasp.
