Kirschen | Curved Gouges — Cut 7

These Kirschen Curved Gouges Cut 7 are hand-forged tools designed for clearing out deep recesses, contours, and hollows.

The blades are hand-forged from high-quality special high carbon steel to a hardness of 61 Rockwell. They are ready-to-use with highly polished blades and octagonal hornbeam handles.

"Cut 7" designates a medium-to-strong curvature, offering a versatile profile that balances material removal with control. Unlike a straight gouge, these tools feature a long curve over the entire length of the blade.

Key features at a glance:

• hand-forged from premium high-carbon tool steel and heat-treated to an exceptional hardness of 61 HRC along the working length.
• the blades come completely mirror-polished, which reduces friction during deep cuts and offers native resistance against rust and corrosion.
• factory-ground to a standard 17° carving angle, ideal for soft to medium-hard woods.
• fitted with a traditional, comfortable octagonal hornbeam wood handle that resists rolling off your workbench.

TIP! Because they are made from pure high-carbon steel, the blades are susceptible to natural corrosion. They should be wiped down with a lightly oiled cloth (such as Ballistol Universal Oil) after each session or prior to long-term storage.
