Wood Carving Gouge #7 1 Blade, Semi Round Chisel, Carbon Steel Gouge

Stryi Co. offers a range of wood carving gouges featuring radial profiles #5, #7, #8, and #9. Each profile is tailored to meet specific carving needs: #5 exhibits a very slight radial bend, #7 a slight bend, #8 a medium bend, and #9 an accurate round bend. This diversity allows both professional carvers and beginners to select the precise tools required for their woodworking projects.

The #7 gouge, characterized by its semi-round chisel blade profile, excels in shaping raw material and handling expansive areas. It is particularly effective for leveling or smoothing concave surfaces. A standout feature of this tool is its expertly hardened, sharpened, and polished blade, ensuring effortless cutting through various wood types, be they soft or hard. The blade arrives razor-sharpened, ready for immediate use without the need for additional sharpening.

Crafted from chromium-contained carbon steel W 108, the blade boasts a hardness of 60-62 Hrc, enhancing durability and edge retention during prolonged use. This high-carbon, chromium-enriched alloy steel is meticulously balanced to meet the demands of woodworking tools, offering exceptional strength and wear resistance. It remains sharp over extended periods, reducing the frequency of sharpening required.

The handle of the straight carving gouge is fashioned from oak wood, polished to a smooth finish and stained with linseed oil for added durability and aesthetic appeal. This ergonomic design ensures comfort and control during prolonged carving sessions.

Detailed dimensions of the gouge include a blade cutting width of 1" (25 mm), metal thickness of 0.08" (2 mm), blade length of 3.93" (10 cm), handle length of 4.72" (12 cm), and a weight of 0.15 lbs (70 g). These specifications cater to the precise needs of woodworkers, balancing maneuverability with robustness.
