Liogier hand-stitched rasps

For over 100 years, LIOGIER has been producing high-quality hand-stitched rasps in the Auvergne Region of France. Hand-cut rasps are clearly different tools compared to machine-made ones. They take material off faster, and leave a surprisingly cleaner surface behind because of the ultra-sharpness, and slightly irregular layout, of the hand-cut teeth.

Even today, whether roughing out a leg or fine-tuning a delicate feature, you just can’t get along without them. There are plenty of rasps on the market, from budget priced to very good and expensive machine-made rasps. They will all do the job, but using a high quality hand stitched rasp – like the Liogier Rasps – is simply a joy.
