Hand-cut rasps from Liogier

For over 100 years, LIOGIER has been producing exceptionally high-quality hand-cut rasps in the Auvergne region of France. At times, it was one of the largest manufacturers of these tools in Europe, yet almost unknown outside of France.

Hand-cut rasps differ significantly from machine-cut ones. The material removal is considerably higher with surprisingly good surface quality, thanks to the ultra-sharp irregularly cut teeth.

LIOGIER produces only on order. Therefore, procurement is not always easy, even though we try to keep a good selection in stock.

The cutting direction of the teeth of these rasps is oriented in such a way that they achieve optimal cutting effectiveness when used right-handed. The cuts of Liogier rasps are numbered from No. 1 to No. 15, with No. 1 being the coarsest and No. 15 the finest. In practice, only cuts 4 to 14 are almost exclusively used.
