Produced by one of Germany's oldest tool-making firms, these professional-quality tools are the style traditionally favored by European carvers.
The lacquered handles are boxwood, which is scarce today but was the standard in times past because of its exceptional impact resistance. The octagonal shape gives a secure grip and prevents smaller tools from rolling on the bench. The fully polished blades are hand forged from high-carbon steel, hardened to Rc61 for durability, and require only final stropping.
Tools measure 9-1/2" to 10" overall. Due to hand forging, sizes are nominal and shapes may vary slightly.
Available individually and in sets tailored to relief carving or carving in the round, these are fine tools that will last a lifetime with normal care.
