Pfeil D Series Straight Chisel

Carve with Control Using a Swiss-Made D Series Chisel

When a full-size carving tool feels too long or too bulky in the hand, the Pfeil D Series Chisel gives you the same quality in a more manageable size. Each blade is forged from the same Chrome Vanadium steel as Pfeil's standard tools, but with a shorter 85mm blade and a smaller handle, bringing the overall length to 200mm.

That medium sizing makes the D Series a sensible choice for younger carvers, or anyone working with smaller hands who wants better control over the cut. The handle carries flat edges, so the chisel stays put on the bench instead of rolling away while you work. It arrives sharpened and ready for use, and comes in a variety of profiles and widths to suit your carving.

Key Features

• Chrome Vanadium Steel Blade: The same quality steel as Pfeil's standard tools, ground for a keen edge that holds up to regular carving.
• Shorter 85mm Blade: A compact blade with a 200mm overall length, giving you closer, more controlled handling.
• Smaller Handle: Sized for younger carvers and those with smaller hands, so the tool sits comfortably and works with ease.
• Flat-Edged Handle: Keeps the chisel from rolling off the bench, ready when you reach for it.
• Range of Profiles and Widths: Available across different gouge depths and widths to match the tool to your task.
• Sharpened and Ready to Use: Arrives honed straight from the factory, so you can head to the bench and start carving straight away.

Understanding the Pfeil Codes

Pfeil's numbering system tells you exactly what each chisel does, once you know how to read it:

• D: Marks a smaller series tool, such as D8.
• S: Indicates a skew chisel, such as 1S.
• A: Placed after the first number, this shows a bent blade, such as 8A.
• First number: The depth of the gouge, running from 1 (flat) through to 15 (quite deep).
• Last number: The width of the chisel in millimetres.

Main Applications

• Carving with a lighter, more manageable tool that suits smaller hands.
• Introducing younger carvers to quality Swiss tools at a comfortable size.
• Working fine detail where a shorter blade gives you closer control.
• Matching the right profile and width to your project using the Pfeil code system.
• Building a versatile carving kit with chisels bought individually, or as a set where stated.

Give your carving the control and comfort it deserves. Add the Pfeil D Series Chisel to your kit and carve with confidence from the very first cut.
