Additional information

The Pfeil Swiss-made Series No. 5 Straight Gouge is a tool with a medium-hollow cutting edge that offers a wide range of uses. Forged and sharpened in Switzerland according to Pfeil's quality standards, the No. 5 cutting edge's intermediate hollow allows for linear and controlled cuts on various wood species, facilitating both roughing out a shape and finer work on flat or slightly curved surfaces.

Each width variant serves a different function: the thinnest (2-8 mm) allow you to work on delicate areas and details, while the medium (10-25 mm) are perfect for moderate to significant material removal, and the large sizes (30-50 mm) offer efficient cutting on large surfaces.

All gouges in this series are factory sharpened and delivered ready to use, with a clean edge and a robust shape suitable for demanding professional or amateur use.
