Narex PROFI Palm Carving Chisel Set 5 Piece

Narex PROFI 5-Piece Palm Carving Chisel Set: The Right Profile for Every Stage of Your Carving

Detailed carving rarely works with just one tool. You need a flat chisel to level backgrounds, gouges to scoop and shape curves, and a V-tool to outline and add fine lines. Buying these one at a time makes it hard to know which profiles to start with, and a tool that arrives with a burred edge only adds frustration. The Narex PROFI 5-Piece Palm Carving Chisel Set gives you a carefully chosen mix of five handcrafted tools. Each blade is precisely ground and lapped on an Arkansas stone, so every tool arrives burr-free and ready for clean, controlled cuts.

Add this set to your bench and take your relief, ornamental and detail carving further with confidence.

Key Features

• A well-rounded selection of five profiles: The set includes a flat chisel, three gouges with different curves and a V-tool. Together they cover outlining, shaping, hollowing, texturing and background clearing, so you can take a carving from first cut to final finish.
• Chrome-vanadium steel blades (61–62 HRc): HRc is a scale that measures how hard steel is. At 61–62 HRc, these blades sit at the high end for woodcarving tools. The heat-treated chrome-vanadium steel holds a keen, stable edge for longer, even in the hardest timbers.
• Lapped on an Arkansas stone for burr-free cuts: An Arkansas stone is a very fine natural sharpening stone, prized by woodworkers for polishing edges. Each blade is precisely ground, lapped on one, then finished with abrasive paste. You get clean, smooth cuts with no burr to tear the fibres, which makes demanding ornamental work much easier.
• Handcrafted and ready to use: Every tool is made by hand and finished to a professional standard. You can start carving straight out of the box, with no sharpening or honing needed first.
• Ergonomic beech wood palm handles: The shaped beech handles sit comfortably in your palm. They give you a secure grip and fine control over depth and direction. The stained and varnished finish looks as good as it feels.
• Organised storage: The set comes in practical packaging that keeps your tools organised and their edges protected between sessions.
• Made by Narex: Narex has decades of experience making quality woodworking hand tools. The PROFI range is their top-of-the-line carving series.

What Each Tool Does

The sweep number describes how curved a carving tool's cutting edge is. A lower number means a flatter edge, and a higher number means a deeper curve. Sweep 41 refers to a V-shaped profile.

• Sweep 1 Flat, 4mm: The straight, flat edge levels relief backgrounds, squares up walls and defines crisp edges. Its narrow width lets you work into tight spaces between elements.
• Sweep 11 Gouge, 3mm: A deep, U-shaped curve for cutting narrow, rounded channels. Use it for fine grooves, veining in leaves and delicate detail lines.
• Sweep 8 Gouge, 6mm: A fairly deep curve that removes material efficiently. It's ideal for hollowing, roughing out shapes and carving concave forms.
• Sweep 7 Gouge, 8mm: A medium curve that shapes and smooths broader areas. Use it to model rounded forms, blend surfaces and refine contours.
• Sweep 41 V-type, 3mm: Two walls meet in a sharp V to cut crisp, defined lines. Use it to outline designs, separate elements and add fine texture such as hair and feathers.

A quick tip: work through the set in stages. Start by outlining your design with the V-tool, keeping both top corners of the V above the surface so the fibres slice cleanly. Next, rough out the main shapes with the sweep 8 gouge, then refine and blend curves with the sweep 7. Add fine grooves and veining with the sweep 11, and finish by levelling the background with the flat chisel. Rest each handle in your palm and steady the blade with the thumb of your other hand for fine control. Palm tools are pushed by hand, so don't strike them with a mallet. A few strokes on a leather strop loaded with honing compound between sessions will keep every edge as clean as the day it arrived.
