Our Promise

We understand that a carving set is an investment that should hopefully last a lifetime if well cared for. With all our products, Schaaf Tools offers:

  • Excellent customer service ✔
  • Replacements for any tools that don't meet expectations ✔
  • 100% money-back guarantee ✔

Fishtail gouges fit into areas no other gouges will fit. These delicate-looking gouges allow you to carve details like no other tool. Their unique shape also makes them surprisingly versatile. But that shape can make them a challenge to sharpen. That’s why this set is professionally sharpened by Dick Belcher of Belcher Carving Supply.

Unlike most gouges, which feature a short round or square section close to the handle (called the shaft) before assuming the sweep of the gouge, fishtail gouges have a longer shaft that only flares out to the sweep and size of the gouge near the end. This shape allows you to fit into tight areas, and with practice, allows you to carve a variety of curves and shapes with just the corner of the gouge. 

We created this premium set for our customers who would like their tools professionally honed before purchase. Having your tools professionally sharpened will make future sharpening and maintenance easier because you have a 'template' bevel to follow as you maintain the blades cutting edge. We hope you appreciate this premium set offered to you with the help of Belcher Carving Supply! 

These tools are truly professional quality, hand sharpened to be razor-sharp.

A $175 value at a fraction of the cost.
