Product care instructions:
- Cleaning after use: wipe the blade to remove shavings and dust.
- Dry thoroughly: avoid prolonged humidity to limit oxidation of the metal.
- Sharpening: although delivered sharpened at the factory, these gouges can be sharpened; use suitable water stones or abrasives (respecting the concave profile of the gouge) to maintain an optimal cutting edge.
- Handle and body: if the gouge has a wooden handle, occasionally apply wood oil or wax to preserve the natural appearance and durability.
- Store in a dry place: the tool is best preserved when protected from dust and moisture.

The straight gouge Series No. 6 Pfeil Swiss made is a wood carving tool, with a semi-hollow shape, designed to make clean, controlled and regular cuts in a wide variety of soft or hard woods.

Each variant corresponds to a different cutting edge width—from 2 mm for fine details to 40 mm for removing more material. This range of sizes offers a natural progression of use: smaller gouges allow for delicate adjustments and finishing, while wider ones facilitate flat surfaces, general shapes, or open volumes.

Made from high-quality steel in Switzerland by Pfeil and then factory-sharpened, these gouges are ready to use and built to last. The Series No. 6 is distinguished by an effective balance between maneuverability, robustness, and cutting capacity, making it a benchmark for sculptors, cabinetmakers, and wood artists.
