Reach Hard-to-Access Spots with a Swiss-Made Reverse Bent Gouge
When your carving leads you into recessed corners and tight hollows a standard gouge cannot follow, you want a tool shaped to get there. The Pfeil Reverse Bent Gouge gives you exactly that. Like a traditional gouge, the profile runs from nearly flat through to a deeper sweep, but the bent shaft turns the cutting edge up and into spots that would otherwise be out of reach.
The Number 20 carries a very slight gouge profile, a touch deeper than the flat Number 10, and the depth doubles with each step up the range to the deep Number 30, with the Number 25 and Number 28 offering deeper profiles still. Swiss made from chrome vanadium alloy to Pfeil's own specifications, it arrives sharpened and ready for the bench.
Key Features
- Reverse Bent Shaft: Lifts the cutting edge up and into recessed areas a straight gouge cannot reach.
- Graduated Profiles: Runs from a near-flat sweep to a deep gouge, so you can match the curve to your work.
- Profile Depth Doubles by Number: Each increase in number doubles the depth, from the slight Number 20 through to the deep Number 30.
- Deeper Options Available: The Number 25 and Number 28 give you deeper profiles still for more pronounced hollows.
- Swiss-Made Quality: Crafted 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.
