Working on flat surfaces but also in slight hollows: working in cavities or angled surfaces where a straight blade would be difficult to handle.
Details and finishes: the thin variants (3 – 4 mm) allow for small sculpted details or delicate areas.
Moderate to large work: 6-10 mm variants suitable for larger areas or larger material removals at an angle.
Multipurpose workshop: ideal for sculptors, cabinetmakers and woodworkers working with complex volumes, artistic reliefs or technical forms requiring a chisel at a controlled angle.

Product care instructions:
- Cleaning after use: wipe away wood chips and dust to preserve the cutting edge.
- Dry thoroughly: avoid prolonged moisture on the steel to limit corrosion.
- Sharpening: although factory sharpened, these chisels can be sharpened; use water stones or abrasives adapted to the curved shape to maintain an optimal cutting edge without altering the geometry.
- Handle maintenance: if the handle is made of wood, occasionally apply wood oil or wax to preserve comfort and durability.
- Dry storage: keep the tool in a dry place or in a case/protective cover to prevent oxidation and protect the sharp edges.

The Pfeil Swiss made 60° angle curved chisel, also called "sculptor's pencil", is a wood carving tool designed to allow for straight or slightly curved lines in wood.
The curved shape has the effect of slightly raising the tool during cutting, which also makes it possible to work in slightly recessed areas.

Each cutting edge width variant is designed for a specific type of use:
- 2 mm to 4 mm: for fine details and delicate areas, requiring high precision.
- 6 mm: versatile, for moderate material removal with fine control.
- 8 mm: suitable for larger surfaces or more pronounced angled cuts.
- 10 mm: for more substantial material removal in inclined areas while maintaining maneuverability.

The chisels are all perfectly sharpened at the factory (Swiss made) and ready to use upon receipt, thus guaranteeing reliable and durable cutting performance.
