Pfeil Straight Gouge Chisel - #6

Open Up Width and Depth with a Swiss-Made Straight Gouge

When your work moves beyond shallow scooping and you need a tool that takes out a proper hollow, the Pfeil Number 6 Straight Gouge is where the real gouge profiles begin. It carries a concave profile that continues on from the Number 2 to Number 5 range, but with genuine width and depth behind each cut.

The straight shank keeps your approach direct and predictable, so you can drive controlled, even sweeps across open timber. This balance of breadth and depth makes the Number 6 a versatile starting point for hollowing, shaping, and stock removal. 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 for clean, accurate cuts.
