1/8" (3mm) right-handed carvers
- choose a right-handed tool to cut towards you
- choose a left-handed tool to cut away from you. These knives are essentially right-angled gouges designed for carving areas where the full length of a conventional gouge will not fit. Knife carvers will find them useful for hollowing deep or narrow cavities. the handedness (right or left) of the knife should be choosen by how you carve, not necessarily by if you are left or right handed.
