Product care instructions:
- Cleaning after use: wipe away shavings and dust to preserve the cutting edge.
- Wipe & dry: avoid prolonged moisture to limit steel corrosion.
- Sharpening: although factory sharpened, these gouges can be sharpened; use water stones or abrasives adapted to the cambered profile to maintain a sharp edge without altering the original geometry.
- Handle maintenance: if the handle is made of wood, occasionally apply wood oil or wax to preserve comfort and durability.
- Dry storage: keep the tool in a dry place or in a case/protective cover to prevent oxidation and accidental impacts.

The Cambered Gouge Series No. 7 – Pfeil Swiss made is a high-end wood carving tool specially designed for work requiring an angled approach or cutting movements in concave, hollowed or carved areas with complex reliefs.
The curved profile of the blade raises the cutting angle, allowing for more comfortable work in confined or angled spaces — particularly useful for medium-depth cuts, curved transitions and three-dimensional shapes.

Each cutting edge width allows the tool to be adapted to a specific application:
- 4 mm & 6 mm: narrow areas and delicate details.
- 10 mm & 14 mm: moderate material removal and fine transitions.
- 18 mm & 20 mm: intermediate surfaces and larger sculpted volumes.
- 25 mm, 30 mm & 35 mm: greater material clearance for open volumes or large concave surfaces.

These gouges are factory sharpened and ready to use upon receipt, ensuring a clean and durable cutting edge in accordance with the standards of the Pfeil Swiss made range.
