#8 Sweep Gouges by Pfeil Swiss Made
The series #8 Sweep Gouges by Pfeil Swiss Made offer a straight deep gouge ideal for shaping recesses and raised surfaces, for example folds such as drapery. Pfeil's broad range of sweeps and widths opens unlimited possibilities in sculpture carving. The #8 tools come in 14 sizes ranging from 2-40mm.
We carry all of Pfeil's other sweep gouges, including #1 (chisel), #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #9, and #11 (veiner). The higher the series number is, the deeper the curve on the tool will be. For example, the #11 has a much steeper curve (like a deep U-shape) than the #5, and the #3 has a much gentler curve than the #9.
Features:
- Hardwood handle
- Special alloy chrome vanadium steel
- Hand-sharpened

The Highest Quality from Langenthal, Switzerland.
'Swiss Made' implies reliability and precision. Pfeil creates undoubtedly the finest carving tools on the market, second-to-none in terms of manufacturing quality and durability.
Pfeil is a family-owned company, spanning four generations. For over a hundred years, the cutting tools made by Pfeil have been based on an ancient craft tradition. They use the latest technology and strive for continuous further development. Pfeil benefits from the expertise of specialists from the Technical College for Wood Carving in Brienz, and professional woodcarvers from all over the world.
Manufactured with Passion.
We know that you'll show your Pfeil collection the same level of care that is given to every individual tool in production. Skilled craftsmanship, high requirements in development and production, and multiple quality checks occur during the entire manufacturing process. This forms the basis of Pfeil's quality guarantee and promise.
Ecological and Ergonomic.
The environment and our living space are important to us. Precious resources like water, air and energy are used sparingly and as efficiently as possible in Pfeil's manufacturing. They deliberately use native woods to produce the tool handles. They are treated with solvent-free vegetable oil; this means for example that the octagonal handles made of ash sit firmly and securely in your hands.
