Usage & Maintenance

Technical & artistic sculpture: versatile for craftsmen, cabinetmakers, sculptors working on complex surfaces or varied volumes.

Product care instructions:
- Cleaning after use: remove wood chips and dust to preserve the cutting edge.
- Dry thoroughly: avoid prolonged moisture on the metal blade to limit corrosion.
- Sharpening: although factory sharpened, these gouges can be sharpened; use water stones or abrasives adapted to the curved profile to maintain a sharp edge without altering the original geometry.
- Maintaining the handle: if the handle is made of wood, applying wood oil or wax occasionally will help preserve comfort and durability.
- Dry storage: keep the tool in a dry place or in a case/protective cover to avoid moisture and protect the sharp edges.

Additional information

The Curved Gouge Series No. 5 (half-hollow profile) – Pfeil Swiss made is a wood carving tool specially designed to work surfaces at angles or in concave areas where a classic straight gouge would be less comfortable or efficient.
The versatility of the curved gouge makes this tool interesting for sculptors, cabinetmakers or craftsmen working with varied volumes, from curved details to larger reliefs.

The series covers a range of cutting edge widths, allowing the tool to be adapted to the task:
- 5 mm: light material removal and work on very narrow areas.
- 8 mm & 12 mm: moderate material removal or work on narrow areas.
- 16 mm: versatile for medium sculpted volumes.
- 20 mm & 30 mm: wider surfaces or curved transitions.
- 35 mm: significant material removal over large volumes, while maintaining controlled work under angle.

Each variant is factory sharpened, guaranteeing a clean edge and cutting efficiency right out of the box.
