Description

Wood carving gouge models in the Kirschen 3107 series are straight flat gouges with a cut 7 profile. The blade is hand-forged and hardened to 61 HRC, with a 25° bevel. Each tool carries an octagonal hornbeam handle fitted with a ferrule. The series is made in Germany and belongs to the Bildhauerbeitel sculpting range.

The flat gouge profile cuts a shallow, even channel. It removes waste quickly and still allows controlled depth when shaping detail. Fifteen blade widths cover work from 2 mm up to 40 mm. Smaller widths suit lettering and fine relief. Wider blades handle roughing on sculpture blanks and large panels. Total length grows with blade width, from 230 mm on the narrow sizes to 280 mm on the widest. Blades are also offered without a handle, as noted in the catalog.

Wood carving gouge Kirschen 3107: blade construction

Cut 7 sits in the middle of the sweep chart, between flatter and deeper gouges. The curve lifts chips cleanly without digging in. The 25° bevel balances edge keenness against edge support, so the tool works in softwood and in medium hardwood. Hardening to 61 HRC keeps the cutting edge stable through long carving sessions on dense timber.

Blade type: cut 7, straight flat gouge
Bevel angle: 25°
Blade hardness: 61 HRC
Forging: hand-forged blade
Series designation: Bildhauerbeitel 3107
Blades available without handle

Because the blades are hand-forged, the sweep is not binding and may vary slightly between pieces. Dimensions and weights given in the catalog may also deviate a little. Grinding should keep the original 25° bevel so the cutting behaviour stays predictable. A fine honing stone restores the edge between sharpening sessions.

Handle and size range

The octagonal hornbeam handle stops the tool rolling off a bench or a carving stand. Flat facets give a positive grip for mallet work and for hand pushing. Hornbeam is dense and takes repeated mallet blows well. Weight rises with blade width, which helps when heavier cuts are needed on larger sculpture work.

Handle material: hornbeam
Handle shape: octagonal
Blade widths offered: 2 to 40 mm across 15 sizes
Total length: 230 to 280 mm by size
Weight: 59 to 239 g by size

Narrow sizes from 2 mm to 8 mm share a 230 x 20 x 20 mm format. Mid sizes move to 240 x 25 x 25 mm and 245 x 25 x 25 mm. The widest blades, 30 mm to 40 mm, use a 275 x 30 x 30 mm or 280 x 30 x 30 mm format. Pick sizes by the radius of the cut you need.

Common applications

Sculptors use the 3107 series for figure carving, relief panels and ornamental work. Furniture makers cut decorative flutes on frames, doors, chair legs and cabinet rails. Restorers use narrow widths to re-cut damaged carved detail on antique furniture. Pattern makers and instrument builders shape hollows and transitions where a flat sweep works better than a deep gouge. The series also serves teaching workshops, where a graded set of widths covers most carving exercises.

Catalog reference

Page 59 of the Kirschen 2026 catalog lists cut 7 carving chisels with octagonal hornbeam handles in four forms. Series 3107 is the straight flat gouge. Series 3116 is the curved gouge, 3128 the flat spoon bent gouge and 3137 the flat back bent gouge. Each series is tabulated by order number, blade width in mm, dimensions in mm and weight in g.

Care and storage

Wipe chips and resin off the blade after use. Store the tools dry, ideally in a roll or rack that keeps edges apart. Re-hone as soon as the edge stops slicing end grain cleanly. Keep the handle away from standing water to avoid splitting.
