KAPRA cabinet rasp, hand-cut

Hand hewn. Inexpensive alternative with a good cut.

Hand-forged and hand-cut cabinet rasp for stone and wood.

Rasp care:

We recommend using a file brush to clean the rasp.

Rasps cannot be resharpened. In order to maintain the sharpness of your rasps for as long as possible, we recommend that you do not use the rasps for work on quartz-containing stones, such as sandstone. Some serpentine and soapstones may also contain quartz. As quartz is harder than steel, the rasp surfaces are abraded and become blunt very quickly. Carbide or diamond rasps are therefore much more suitable for quartz-containing stones.

If you use rasps in wood carving, they usually remain sharp for much longer than when used in stone carving. As optimally sharp tools are essential for wood carving in particular, we recommend that you no longer use rasps for wood carving that have already been used on stone. It is highly unlikely that you will achieve satisfactory results there. Conversely, use is generally less problematic.
