When to choose it
Choose Set A if you prefer a dedicated palm grip for each profile. Move between tools as you work across a lino or woodblock design. The pearwood handles sit behind the steel blades, and the maker lists a 125 mm overall length, useful when comparing the reach of these tools with a longer carving handle.
Set A pairs several 8 mm profiles with a narrower L 11/3 gouge and an L 12a/4 V tool. Compare those shapes with the marks you need. Pfeil's Set B, for example, includes the broader L 7/10 curved gouge, which you can also buy separately.

Questions about this product
Will I need a separate handle for each profile?
Each cutter already has its own palm handle. Compare that layout with a single interchangeable handle if space is limited.
How do I choose between Pfeil sets with the same tool count?
Compare the maker's profile diagrams and widths against the narrowest marks and widest areas you intend to clear.
Can I buy one profile from the set on its own?
Pfeil offers the cutters individually. Use the profile code in the maker's chart to identify the cut you need.
