Hirsch carving tools are regarded by many as Europe's finest woodcarving tools. Hirsch tools have been continuously manufactured in Germany since 1780. Hirsch tools are professional wood carving tools, second to none in performance and quality. Hand-forged of Germany's finest high carbon tool steel and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 61, these carving tools will remain sharp during long periods of demanding use. Each tool is fitted with a large octagonal handle allowing for an exceptionally powerful and sturdy grip. The tools are finely polished inside and the bevel is carefully ground. Some honing may be necessary before use.
