Additional information

The Series No. 2 Straight Gouge is one of the basic tools for wood carving, offering a straight and controlled cut. Its geometry, with a very shallow hollow and almost flat cutting edge, allows for perfect linear work to smooth, draw clean lines, or create surfaces in both soft and hard woods.

Each tool is forged from high-quality steel and factory-sharpened, guaranteeing a high-performance cutting edge right out of the box. The No. 2 series is renowned for its versatility: it is suitable for both delicate details and wider cuts, depending on the width chosen.

The available variations allow the tool to be adapted to the task:
- 2 – 5 mm: high precision for narrow areas or delicate adjustments.
- 8 – 14 mm: versatility for moderate material removal.
- 16 – 25 mm: medium surfaces and transitions.
- 30 – 40 mm: greater material removal and larger surfaces.
