For such things as fitting bridge feet, many luthiers grind this type of tool out of old files or other reclaimed steels out of necessity. While this can work in a pinch, those reclaimed steels do not have the optimum performance that a professional needs. With field tests and input from violin makers, we created a professional, purpose-made version of this gouge. This tool features a slightly convex edge of high grade Yasuki White Paper steel that is brine quenched and heat treated for best possible performance at the bench.

 

Single bevel, 3 laminate construction

Dimensions:

H: 3.5mm 

W: 20mm edge, 14mm heel 

L: ~110mm

 

Most tools are shipped with a rough grind and will require a proper setup by the user to their preferences.

 

DISCLAIMER: Our tools and knives are very pointy. They can potentially hurt someone, and we don't want them to. It's our job to forge it, but YOURS and YOURS ALONE to exercise caution and correct usage of our knives.
