Herdim rasps are also hand-cut. They are available at Howard Core and also here

The price on Howard core are cheap compared to everyone else that carries these. Are these any good?

I have the Herdims direct from Dick Tools in Germany (for whom they are made), and they're very nice tools indeed. I may try a few of the Chinese made rasps since I'm ordering something from Dick anyway, and they cost about 6 dollars each...

I just got some of those, Mattia; two of the long, pointy ones, and a set of the cabinet rasps. I haven't gotten a chance to give them a real test yet, but I will do a couple of necks before Christmas; I guess I will find out. From the pictures they look a lot like the "Dragon rasps" from Stewmac, I have no idea if they are the same thing though. The price is certainly a lot better...

the chinese ones Dick fine tools do for about 6 euros are realy good i love
them.

I bought a few and love them they are so sharp you cant get them back in
the cover that comes with them.

Well worth the money imho.
