Bent carving gouge with palm handle showing 8 mm and 12 mm blade options by Sharky Forged Steel Tools

In the palm, a curve becomes language.

Bent Carving Gouge with Palm Handle — a compact arc of 52100 steel and ash, tuned for quiet, accurate cuts.

Benchside companion

Small tool, long afternoons

A curve that finds the grain

Fussy corners and tight reliefs often stall a carving, asking for reach and control at once. The Bent Carving Gouge with Palm Handle meets that moment with a curved 52100 steel blade that arrives sharpened and ready to work. Its ash palm handle settles naturally into the hand, steady through long sessions, whether shaping, texturing, or easing a hollow.

Clean cuts, fewer hesitations

When the edge bites predictably, ideas move from sketch to surface without second-guessing. Two widths—8 mm and 12 mm—let you slip into narrow passages or open a broader sweep. Suitable across hard and soft woods, it keeps pace as projects shift from practice blocks to finished pieces.

For those who shape by feel

Woodcarvers who favor palm control for relief work, small sculptures, and detail passes in mixed woods.

At the bench

Choose your width, set the bevel to the cut, and pull gentle, controlled passes to hollow, round, and refine tight areas.
