Hand-forged Spoon (Short) Bent Gouge with ash wood handle and carbon steel blade

Hand-work’s trusted curve

A bent sweep that settles into the palm, asks you to lean in, and brings a hollow to life.

At the bench

Quiet arcs, clean grain

Shaped by intent

Hollows demand reach and steadiness—two things that are hard to balance with straight blades or tired edges. The Spoon (Short) Bent Gouge by Sharky Forged Steel Tools answers with a 52100 carbon steel blade that arrives sharp and stays working sharp. Its compact bend slips into tight spoons, bowls, and kuksas, guiding clean cuts without the fight. The ash handle settles into the hand so sessions stretch long without strain.

Cuts that follow the wood

When the tool tracks true, you can listen to the grain instead of wrestling it. This gouge’s bent profile reaches where flat steel can’t, letting you refine depth and curve with control. Different widths—50, 60, and 70 mm—match the scale of your piece across hard or soft woods. Work feels precise, deliberate, and calm.

For the carver who lingers

Woodcarvers who shape spoons, bowls, and kuksas and want a ready-to-use bent gouge with lasting edge and a comfortable ash handle.

In daily practice

Reach into a spoon bowl or tight hollow and take controlled, clean scoops along the grain with minimal chatter.
