MIKISYO | Power Grip Individual Tools

Fine carving tools with a razor-sharp edge can be difficult to source in New Zealand. Manufactured in Japan by Mikisyo Hamono, these Power Grip carving tools are renowned for their exceptional quality, comfort and value. Each tool features a hardened, double-layered steel blade that is hand-sharpened to a razor-sharp edge, providing excellent edge retention and arriving ready to use.

The ergonomic handle is designed to sit comfortably in the palm, offering outstanding control while reducing fatigue during longer carving sessions.

Why we love them at The Armarie Room:

Comfortable to hold, beautifully sharp straight from the box, and excellent value. The 1.5 mm gouge is one of our favourite tools for fine, delicate linework and refining intricate carved details.

Recommendations:

• Sharpen regularly using a strop and polishing compound to maintain the cutting edge.
