Product care instructions:
- Clean after use: remove wood chips and dust to keep the cutting edge clean.

- Sharpening / blade: Although delivered factory sharpened, this chisel can be sharpened — use water stones, fine stones or suitable systems to maintain a consistent curved edge profile.

- Storage: Keep the tool in a dry place to avoid any deterioration of the cutting edge.

The Pfeil Swiss made macaroni chisel is a wood carving tool with a 3-edged cutting edge and flat bottom (macaroni profile) which allows material to be removed with a smooth and controlled movement.
This type of chisel is often used when conventional straight gouges cannot produce the desired flat-bottomed channel shape.

The macaroni scissors are made in Switzerland by Pfeil, a brand known for the quality of its steels and precise factory sharpening.

The 4 mm and 12 mm variants are listed as standard sizes for this family of macaroni scissors in the Pfeil Swiss Made catalog and are generally available upon request or through the size selection options. (The source pages currently only list the 6 mm model, but the standard line also includes 4 mm and 12 mm.)
