Pfeil Straight Gouge Chisel - #7

Step Up to True Gouge Work with a Swiss-Made Straight Gouge

When shallow chisels no longer give you the bite you need, the Pfeil Number 7 Straight Gouge takes you into proper gouge territory. It carries a medium concave profile that continues the range from the Number 2 to Number 5, sitting a step deeper than the Number 6. The straight shank keeps your approach direct and predictable, so you can drive controlled sweeps across open timber with real width and depth behind each cut.

That extra depth makes the Number 7 a dependable workhorse for hollowing, shaping, and clearing stock quickly. 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.
