Quiet control in the hand

A straight gouge that settles into your grip and sinks into grain with calm certainty.

At the bench

Hollows that hold a story

Forged for feel

Many gouges chatter, tire the hand, or lose their edge just as a curve begins to appear. The Straight Wood Carving Gouge by Sharky Forged Steel Tools brings balance through its 18 cm length and ash handle that sits naturally in the palm. A hand‑forged high‑carbon blade arrives sharpened, ready to cut clean grooves in soft or hardwood without fuss.

Shaping made steady

When a tool answers your movement, the work flows—concave surfaces grow smooth, hollows become deliberate, and details land where you intended. The 5 mm and 12 mm widths let you choose between fine lines and broader shaping, so a single form can carry both gesture and finish. Time at the bench becomes quieter, more exact, and more satisfying.

For those who carve

Woodworkers and carvers seeking a reliable, ready-to-use straight gouge for grooves, hollows, and refined detailing.

Where it belongs

Reach for it to hollow spoon bowls, define concave profiles, or clean grooves on hardwood and softwood projects with steady control.
