Firmer Gouge - 20mm

描述

Primarily used by cabinet makers for cutting flutes, grooves and curved sculpting and paring, these gouges are a cross between a curved bench chisel and a carving gouge. Due to the bevel being on the outside of the tool, these chisels are commonly known as out-cannel gouges. The mirror polished blades are forged from the finest German chrome vanadium steel and hardened to Rc-61 along the entire length of the gouge. This ensures that the last part of the blade will hold as sharp an edge as the new blade will. A long tang ensures the blades are held securely in the handle. The handles are turned from hornbeam selected for its straight grain and durability and feature steel re-inforcing bands to prevent the handle from spreading of splitting when struck with a mallet. Made in Germany, these chisels are available in four sizes and the overall length of these tools range from 250 - 300mm. Made entirely in Germany from the highest quality materials, MHG chisels come from the centuries old traditions of fine tool making but are produced using the very latest forging and hardening processes. This gives a chisel that is extremely efficient and incredibly reliable. The blades are premium quality German chrome vanadium; a metal that has a much higher resistance to metal fatigue than other tool steels and is perfect for tools that are designed to be struck with a mallet. Each blade is tempered and hardened to RC-61 along its entire length, giving a blade that will take and hold a razor sharp edge as well at the end of its working life as it did when new. The handles are made from slow growing European hardwoods selected for their straight grain and strength. Supported by a steel band, the handles will not spread or split in use and offer exceptional support to the deep seated tangs. Precision ground and sharpened before they leave the factory, MHG chisels are built for hard work and perform flawlessly. ©
