Whether you are a professional production turner or a hobbyist with limited shop time, these cryogenically treated tools stay sharp two to three times longer than standard M-2 high-speed steel tools so you are turning more and sharpening less! Manufactured in Sheffield exclusively for Woodcraft, these cryogenically treated turning tools offer many of the characteristics of powdered metal tools without the cost of powdered metal tools. The cryogenic treatment process uses sub-zero temperatures, down to -300 degrees F, to modify the micro-structure of the steel into a more uniform grain structure that allows you to hone to a fine edge without chipping. Also, your cutting edge is more durable and more resistant to wear. Each tool is mounted in a European ash handle. Overall tool lengths range from 17" to 23".
Features:
• Sub-zero cryogenically treated blade
• Manufactured in Sheffield, England
• European ash handle
• Woodcraft exclusive design
• Overall tool length 17" to 23"

Good gouge, but...

This gouge has what I needed. A nice grind, good balance and nice feel. If I could get some directions on how to sharpen this nice tool using a vari-grind jig I would give it 5 stars.
