Product care instructions:
- Cleaning: wipe away shavings and dust after each use to preserve the cutting edge.
- Wipe & dry: avoid prolonged moisture to limit steel corrosion.
- Sharpening: although factory sharpened, this tool can be sharpened; use suitable water stones or abrasives to maintain an optimal edge without altering the original geometry.
- Handle maintenance: if the handle is made of wood (it is on most Pfeil tools), occasionally apply wood oil or wax to preserve comfort and durability.
- Storage: Keep the tool in a dry place or in a cover/protective cover to prevent oxidation and protect the sharp edges.

The Swiss-made Pfeil hollowing tool, also known as a hollowing tool, is a woodcarving instrument specifically designed for hollowing out concave areas. Unlike traditional straight gouges or adzes, it is used by pulling towards the user, which provides excellent control over rounded or hollowed surfaces.

The design of this tool allows you to work on delicate or deep hollow shapes (e.g., bowls, sculpted structures, cavities in musical instruments) without excessive effort. Its relatively compact size (total length 180 mm) facilitates precision and maneuverability, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Generally used in softer woods (linden, birch, etc.) and in the direction of the grain.

The tool's steel is high-quality Swiss-made and factory-sharpened for immediate and consistent performance. This type of tool is an ideal complement to gouges and adzes in a complete carving set.
