Narex Gouge Palm Chisels

Narex has established the Profi line of chisels and hand tools for the wood carver who understands the importance of having high quality carving instruments at the ready. Forged from chromium-vanadium steel and heat treated to 61 HRc, this palm chisel has a stained European beech wood handle that has been shaped to fit snugly in the hand. Like a surgeon with a scalpel, the woodcarver is able to use the heel of his hand to exert forward force while his fingers maintain a controlled grip closer toward the cutting edge, resulting in a higher level of control for carving shapes out of relief or sculptures.

Narex uses a number designation for the profile shape of the steel, hence the name Profi for their series of chisels! Is the chisel more or less straight between the handle ferrule and the cutting edge? If so, that may be a Profile 11. But if the steel has a pronounced gooseneck shape between the ferrule and the cutting edge that could be a Profile 1. Look for the shape you want and there may be a Profi number there for you!
