Produced by one of Germany’s oldest tool-making firms, these professional-quality tools are the style traditionally favored by European carvers. The lacquered boxwood handles have exceptional impact resistance, and their octagonal shape gives a secure grip and prevents rolling on the bench. The fully polished blades are hand forged from high-carbon steel, hardened to Rc61 for durability, and require only final stropping. These tools will last a lifetime with normal care.
