Pfeil Medium Chisel - #5

Carve the Deepest Medium Hollow in the Range with a Swiss-Made Concave Chisel

When your work calls for a deeper scoop than the Number 4 can give, while keeping the corners clear of the timber, the Pfeil Number 5 Medium Concave Chisel is the one to reach for. It carries the deepest profile in the Number 2 to Number 5 range, yet it still sits well short of a true gouge, so you take out a clean hollow without the edges digging in.

The radius doubles with each step up from the slight Number 2, which puts the Number 5 at the deepest point of this medium group. The straight shank keeps your cuts direct and predictable across open surfaces. Swiss made from chrome vanadium alloy to Pfeil's own specifications, it arrives sharpened and ready for the bench. Regular honing keeps that edge keen.

Key Features

• Deepest Concave Profile in the Range: The largest radius of the Number 2 to Number 5 group, scooping a fuller hollow while the corners stay clear.
• Still Shallower Than a Gouge: A medium-depth curve that suits controlled hollowing rather than heavy scooping.
• Part of a Graduated Range: The radius doubles at each step up from the Number 2, so you can match the sweep to your work.
• Straight Shank: Keeps your cuts direct and controlled across flat and open surfaces.
• Swiss-Made Quality: Made in Switzerland to the exacting standards that have made Pfeil a trusted name among carvers.
• Chrome Vanadium Alloy: Made to Pfeil's own specifications for excellent edge retention and lasting durability.
• Sharpened and Ready to Use: Arrives honed straight from the factory, so you can head to the bench and start carving immediately.
• Honing Recommended: Regular honing keeps the edge keen and your cuts clean throughout the life of the tool.
