Hand Stitched Woodworking Rasps | Blue Spruce & Logier

Our line of rasps combines the impeccable turned handles from Blue Spruce Toolworks, hand-stitched teeth on premium heat-treated blanks from our friends in France at Logier, and a ferrule system adopted by farriers, built to stand up to their vigorous needs in horseshoe maintenance.

Most common rasps are machine-made, and have identical rows of teeth, causing chatter during use, and in-turn, a bad finish. The good news is our rasps are hand-punched in France by fourth-generation tool makers, Logier. The minor inconsistencies in the process ensure a tooth will engage the workpiece at a different interval than the tooth next to it, resulting in a much better finish.

Our handle is turned from your choice of Curly Maple or Bolivian Rosewood. A black nitride-finished ferrule houses four set screws to securely lock your rasp in place during use — a method used on farriers’ rasp handles to securely lock the rasp in place and stand up to aggressive use.

Buying Guide:
Gain size goes from 1 (coarsest) to 15 (the finest).

The 12-inch models are designed for more rapid, heavier stock removal on larger surfaces. These are great to tackle flatter or broader curves.

The 8-inch models are better suited for detailed, refined, and smaller-scale work.  These are great for tight, concave or intricate areas.

The half round shape is great for leveling on the flat side and shaping on the curved side. Great for being a versatile workhorse.

The tapered shape allows for finer, more precise work with the radius becoming tighter near the tip. This is ideal for tight, complex curves and detailed shaping.
