8 Piece Pfeil Swiss Made Carving Tool Set with Pouch (Kinman Assortment)

8 Piece Carving Tool Set with Pouch (Kinman Assortment)- Pfeil Swiss Made. Includes a 16 pocket pouch case which is made in Canada. This set is as recommended by Ray Kinman (The Woodcarving Guru).  This is the starter set Ray recommends for students taking his classes.This set normally includes the following list below.  Due to major factory supply issues, some items may be subbed occasionally with Swiss Made profiles that can work as a substitution.  Any substitutions will be very close to the recommended tool and functionally about the same (eg. if a 7/20 is out of stock, may be subbed with 7/18 or 7/22).16 Pocket Pouch3/20 #3 x 20mm Sweep Gouge3/10 #3 x 10mm Sweep Gouge3/5 #3 x 5mm Sweep Gouge7/20 #7 x 20mm Sweep Gouge7/10 #7 x 10mm Sweep Gouge12/8 #12 x 8mm 60 deg.

Truth is, most beginner sets I’ve seen don’t make much sense—they’re often filled with tools I rarely, if ever, use. After nearly 50 years as a full-time woodcarver and Disney artist, and after teaching thousands of beginners, I’ve found the best approach is to start small—with just a few solid, essential tools—and build from there. That’s why I teamed up with Bob at Woodworker Specialties to create a custom Pfeil set based on the exact tools I pull from my own roll every time I carve. These are the tools I actually use, and they’re what I recommend to my own students."
