The complete carving kit includes everything you need to make a spoon as well as many other future projects.
The three carving tools are made in Japan and selected specifically for the process of making a spoon. The blank is prepared for you, so you can skip the intimidating first step of finding suitable timber and figuring out how to cut it down. Included is everything you need to maintain your tools and make your first spoon.
The knife arrives sharpened and polished and the curved blade made from triple-layered high-speed steel is designed for smooth, precise carving in any direction without concern for the wood grain. Its double-edged blade allows both pushing and pulling motions, making it equally suitable for right and left-handed users. Ideal for detailed woodwork - the sharp laminated blade ensures precision and control, while the cherry wood handle fits comfortably in the hand for a natural grip. Complete with a genuine leather case, it’s easy to carry and perfect for outdoor workshops, carving classes, or peaceful woodworking sessions at home.
The complete carving kit makes a thoughtful gift for craft enthusiasts or woodworkers.

Michihamono EZ Care Sharpening Set is an easy-to-use honing and sharpening system designed for wood and lino carving tools. It includes:
Sharpening Cloth: An abrasive-impregnated cotton cloth that provides an ultra-fine finish roughly equivalent to an #8,000 grit whetstone.
Shaped Wooden Block (Plate): Features multiple profiles—including flat sides, curved edges, and bevelled/angled profiles (such as 45° and 60°)—to match V-gouges, U-gouges, and flat chisels.
The E-Z Care Set is ideal for beginners as there is a lower risk of rounding or damaging the blade edge compared to a traditional whetstone. It works directly out of the box and avoids the mess of slurry or separate honing compounds.
Care Tip: Do not wash the cloth, as water or soap will wash away the embedded polishing abrasive. Clean it only with a dry cloth if needed.
