Forged Bent Gouges for Spoon Carvers, 52100 Carbon Steel, Ash Wood, Bowl Carving Tools

This hand forged bent gouge is designed for wood carvers, spoon makers, bowl makers, kuksa carvers, and woodworking enthusiasts who need a practical tool for hollowing, shaping, and refining curved wooden surfaces.

✨ Available Options:
This listing includes a variation choice. You can choose one bent gouge in the blade width you need — 20 mm, 30 mm, or 40 mm — or purchase the full set.

❗️The full set includes two gouges: 20 mm and 40 mm.

Specifications:
• Blade Width Options: 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm (0.79 in, 1.18 in, 1.57 in)
• Blade Length: 14 cm (5.51 in)
• Handle Length: 12.5 cm (4.92 in)
• Overall Length: 26.5 cm (10.43 in)

Materials:
✔️ Blade: Made from 52100 carbon steel, valued for toughness, durability, and stable edge retention. This steel is a strong choice for carving tools that need a sharp working edge and reliable long-term performance with proper care.
✔️ Handle: Made from ash wood, a resilient hardwood known for strength, shock resistance, and a comfortable natural feel in the hand. The handle provides a secure grip and gives the tool a traditional handmade appearance.
✔️ Leather Sheath: Made from Crazy Horse leather, known for its dense structure, wear resistance, and rich vintage-style finish. It helps protect the sharpened edge during storage and develops a natural patina over time.

Advantages:
✅ Bent Blade for Concave Work
The bent blade profile helps reach into hollowed areas and refine inside curves where a straight tool is less convenient.
✅ Three Width Options
The 20 mm size is useful for smaller details, the 30 mm size works well as a versatile middle option, and the 40 mm size helps remove more wood from wider hollowed surfaces.
✅ Set Option Available
Customers can choose one blade width or buy the set with 20 mm and 40 mm gouges for both smaller and wider carving work.
✅ Good for Spoon and Bowl Carving
This gouge is practical for shaping spoon bowls, small bowls, cups, kuksas, and other curved wooden forms.
✅ Leather Sheath Included
Each selected gouge comes with a Crazy Horse leather sheath to help keep the cutting edge covered during storage and transport.

Care Instructions:
To keep your bent gouge in good working condition, wipe the carbon steel blade dry after each use and store the tool in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil to the steel to help prevent rust. The ash handle can be treated occasionally with natural oil or wax to preserve the wood. Make sure the blade is dry before placing it into the leather sheath.
