BeaverCraft Wood Carving Gouge 7L/22 Spoon Carving Tools, Chisels - Bowl Gouge, Wood Curved Chisel - Whittling Spoon Knife

Excellent quality and carves easily, nice and sharp. Bigger than expected with long handle but it's the go too tool at the minute for carving spoons.

Solid, feels easily workable in the hand. Comes with a decent, sharp edge straight out of the box. Appears to have relatively high carbon content steel, so should keep an edge for a while. Nothing beats it on price I think.

Awesome gouge a game changer for me

Hmm it's ok, feel like my wrenching my hand round to get it to bits, without reshaping the knife edge it can be tricky to make it cut, I am left handed though this is ambidextrous obviously, maybe I'm kakhanded or maybe I'm missing a trick, I've had to sharpen it myself, wasn't really cutting great but a Sharpening stone and a few mins sorted it out

Picked this up to carve small bowls and spoons. It needed a bit of sharpening and honing out of the box for my purposes. Holds an edge reasonably well, probably would last longer with Green wood-So far I’ve been working some awkwardly grained sweet chestnut, and it’s handled it ok. Speaking of - The handle is not a great shape for me, tapering toward the ferrule, could do with a bigger ridge at the fore, to grip more securely. But for the price you won’t find a better gouge.

I ordered this with high hopes and it did not disappoint, ergonomic, stylish and came shaving sharp. On a side note, while I ordered this on amazon, I have since discovered their online shop and in the future when I buy more tools from beavercraft I will do so directly (as I understand it, amazon takes a commission).

Great quality and service! No issues whatsoever! Big Fat thank You!

I use this gouge for hollowing out a half round log to make a shallow fruit trough for apples & oranges. Really impressed with the quality.
