Hirsch Carving Sets

Produced by one of Germany’s oldest tool-making firms, these professional-quality tools are the style traditionally favored by European carvers. The lacquered boxwood handles have exceptional impact resistance, and their octagonal shape gives a secure grip and prevents rolling on the bench. The fully polished blades are hand forged from high-carbon steel, hardened to Rc61 for durability, and require only final stropping. These tools will last a lifetime with normal care.

The relief carving set of seven tools includes a 10mm skew chisel, a 6mm 60° parting tool, 12mm and 20mm #3 straight gouges, and 12mm #5, 6mm #7, and 12mm #9 straight gouges, all in a nine-pocket canvas tool roll.
