I recently purchased this wood carving gouge, and it's been a game-changer for my carving projects. The blade is sharp and durable, allowing me to effortlessly carve intricate details and smooth curves. The ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during long carving sessions. I've used it on various types of wood, from soft pine to dense hardwoods, and it's performed flawlessly every time. Highly recommend this gouge to fellow woodcarvers.

The gouge came very sharp from the factory. Most importantly, it retains the edge. I have been carving a lot of dry maple and had no need to resharpen. High quality product

I love ordering from Stryi because it is so sharp and ready to work. It feels good in my hand and the craftsmanship is tops. This is my 4th chisel from this company and if I need another, I’ll certainly order it from them!! I wholly recommend!

I am a retired tool and die maker from upstate NY.
These gouges are some of the finest hand made craftship I have ever had in my hands. Out of the package sharp enough to shave your face with. Polished to a mirror finish. Comfortable handles made of good hardwood. Carving tools do not get better than Stryi.. I intend to buy many more from this company.

I'm absolutely thrilled with this wood carving gouge! The quality of the steel is superb, and the handle is very comfortable to hold. It is easy to sharpen and hold an edge really well. I've been using it for a variety of projects, from carving intricate designs to removing large chunks of wood, and it performs beautifully every time. Highly recommended!

It is a top-of-the-line carving tool that's perfect for experienced woodcarvers. The blade is made from high-quality steel and holds an edge well, even after extended use. The handle is comfortable and provides a good grip, even when working on large projects. The price is a bit higher than some other knives on the market, but the quality and durability are well worth the investment.

Great for first time whittled! Very comfortable in the hand, and the blades are pretty sharp to begin with, although they definitely need to be sharpened on the strop before using them on a project. Whittling is becoming addictive to me!

Nothing bad about the product. It just needs to be run across the leather about three or five times to get the edge as sharp as it was at the factory.
Tracy
Great product an an awesome price. Came with a great factory edge and ready to go. Perfect size for all kinds of projects. Great purchase.

I can’t say enough or anything more than other reviewers. A work of art and perfection. My third tool and I couldn’t be any happier.
Thank you again. I love your products

This is a great knife for those new to woodcraft. Ergonomic handle makes it easy to grip, nice sharp blade, and the grip helps to keep you from injuring yourself if you were to slip.

Handles well. Super sharp. I carve woodblocks for fine art prints. It's my new favorite gouge.

I’ve had this tool for a few weeks and it seems to be a good purchase. I’ve turned some dark walnut and some cedar with it so far. It was sharp right out of the package and is still sharp. So far, so good.
Martin
I love this gouge! the handle is very ergonomic, the wood quality is great and it came razor sharp as always. The customer service is very fast and friendly, should you need them, and I'm definitely a lifelong customer!

This is a great size gouge, and is put together and finished to a nice quality level, especially given the price. Needs a little honing to be as sharp as I like, but I'm really pleased with it.

I haven't used it much yet. The gouge seems reasonably well made. Some reviews started that those tools come ready to use, but the edge wasn't sharp enough to smoothly carve even pine. After a few minutes with the diamond stones and strop and it carves nicely now.
