Draw File - Half-Round - Bastard Cut

The Iwasaki Draw File Half‑Round Bastard Cut is designed for controlled wood shaping using a pull stroke rather than a push. As you draw the file toward the body, it provides direct feedback and steady control when removing material during fitting, tuning and general shaping work. With grips at both ends and an exposed cutting section in the center, the tool supports two handed use while keeping the cut focused where it matters. The half round bastard cut is aggressive enough to remove material efficiently, yet the tooth design remains self-cleaning and leaves a surface smoother than most coarse files. This reduces the amount of follow up sanding or refinement required. At just over 8" overall with a cutting area of about 2", the file balances reach and precision without feeling cumbersome. The half round profile expands its usefulness beyond flat surfaces, making it a versatile option for shaping and touch up tasks across a wide range of woodworking projects.
