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.
