Draw File - Flat - Bastard Cut

The Iwasaki Draw File Bastard Cut works more like a small drawknife than a traditional file, giving woodworkers direct control over material removal by pulling the cutting surface toward the body. With an overall length just over 8" and blue grips at both ends, it allows two‑handed control while keeping the cutting teeth exposed only where needed. This flat bastard cut file is aggressive enough to shape and tune wood efficiently while remaining self‑cleaning during use. Unlike many coarse files, it leaves a surface that is noticeably smoother than expected, reducing follow‑up work before final smoothing. That balance makes it useful for fine adjustments and general shaping tasks where control matters as much as speed. At just over 8" overall with a cutting area of about 2", the tool balances precision and maneuverability. It is a practical choice for furniture work, instrument making and general woodworking tasks where small adjustments and clean surfaces make a difference.Features: Flat bastard cut draw file for shaping wood Draw‑filing action provides controlled material removal Self‑cleaning cut resists loading Grips on both ends support two‑handed use Leaves a smooth surface compared to coarser files Specifications: Overall Length: Just over 8“ Cut Style: Flat Bastard Cut Cut Area Length: Approx. 2" Handle Style: Dual End Grips What's Included: (1) Iwasaki Draw File Flat - Bastard Cut
