The Faithfull Straight Gouge Carving Chisel features a wooden handle, deep-seated tang, brass ferrule, and a fully polished blade. Gouges are designed with a concave blade to remove wood without causing splintering, with the depth of the curve or sweep determining the depth of cut. This product is made with FSC® 100% Certified Wood from well-managed forests. Please note that woodcarving chisels will require final sharpening prior to their first use. The UK size is 9.5mm (3/8in).
