Faithfull FSC Straight Gouge Carving Chisel

The Faithfull FSC Straight Gouge Carving Chisel is a traditional woodworking tool designed for detailed carving and shaping work. This 6.3mm (1/4in) chisel features a concave blade profile that allows clean removal of wood material without causing splintering, making it ideal for precision carving tasks. Built with a deep seated tang for strength and durability, the chisel incorporates a brass ferrule to protect the FSC 100% Certified wooden handle from splitting during use. The fully polished blade provides a smooth cutting action, whilst the wooden handle offers comfortable control during detailed work. The depth of the curve or sweep on this straight gouge determines the depth-of-cut you can achieve, giving you control over material removal in woodcarving applications. This chisel is well-suited to furniture makers, wood sculptors, and craftspeople working on intricate carving projects. Please note that woodcarving chisels will require final sharpening prior to their first use to achieve optimal cutting performance.
