Yoshiharu KL-6 Maruichi Japanese wood carving knives, set of 6 in plastic case

The Yoshiharu KL-6 Maruichi set is a set of Japanese gouges. These gouges have a longer handle, so you can hold them like a pencil and work really precisely with them. They are typical, traditional Japanese gouges, made for making wood engravings. But they are also suitable for other forms of woodworking. This set comes in a sturdy plastic case. The set is supplied with a plastic 'baren'. You use this to iron the paper on the carved woodblock to make an etching. The case also contains an elastic that you can use to close the case firmly. The elastic is a bit tough at first, but it gets easier with use.
