Okay, you say you've 'used it daily for years'... For house repairs... What in the world do you... Wait, never mind. I'm feeling fairly at peace with the world right now, please forget I asked.

But I agree with you, it's surprising it hasn't caught on any better than it has. It's a perfectly wonderful fantastic superb tool for building boats.

And for fixing houses, too, I guess. (shudder)

: I was scrolling down your web site and noticed a friend that I have used
: almost daily for years - the Shinto rasp. I picked up mine in Japan while
: I was living and doing some house repairs. I was amazed at how fast it
: chews through the wood yet leaves it fairly smooth. Surprising that it
: hasn't caught on over here much.
