Origin: Made in Germany

A 41 sweep V-shaped edge cuts grooves with a pointed bottom in wood, soft stone and plaster. The blade reaches 61 HRC and carries a 25° bevel, so the edge holds through repeated honing. An octagonal white hornbeam handle resists rolling on the bench. Fourteen blade widths cover lettering, outlines and deep relief work.

Description

V-parting carving chisel Kirschen 31410 with sweep 41 profile

The V-parting carving chisel Kirschen 31410 serves carvers who cut grooves, outlines and ornamental detail. Its blade follows sweep 41, a V profile that leaves a sharp-bottomed channel. Steel hardened to 61 HRC keeps the cutting edge stable through many regrinds. The 25° bevel lowers the push force needed in softwood and hardwood alike. The octagonal shank helps the carver hold a constant cutting angle during long passes.

Fourteen blade widths run from 2 mm to 30 mm in the family. Narrow sizes suit lettering and fine ornament, while wide sizes open deep channels. Every article code between 3141002 and 3141030 is made in Germany to the same finish. The white hornbeam handle absorbs shock when the carver taps with a light mallet. Together the steel, bevel and handle form a tool for repeatable, controlled cuts.

Technical construction of the sweep 41 V chisel

Blade steel and grinding angle

Tool steel hardened to 61 HRC holds the V edge without rounding after repeated sharpening. The 25° bevel balances edge strength against cutting resistance, so the chisel enters the fibre cleanly. A polished blade face reduces friction and stops chips from sticking. The sweep 41 geometry produces a pointed groove bottom used in both classical and modern carving work.

Blade hardness: 61 HRC
Standard bevel angle: 25°
Blade profile: V shape, sweep 41
Total length: 275 mm
Shank form: octagonal
Blade surface: polished

The octagonal shank gives a flat reference face against the thumb. That flat helps the carver repeat the same entry angle along a long groove. Laid flat on the bench, the chisel stays put instead of rolling toward the edge. Blade polish also makes cleaning quick after work in resinous timber. Regrinding on a flat stone restores the original 25° bevel without reshaping the V.

White hornbeam handle

White hornbeam has moderate density and dampens impact from light mallet blows. The octagonal section prevents rolling and gives a firm grip under hand pressure. Handle height and width both measure 30 mm, a size that suits most hands. The handle is hot-pressed onto the steel body, so it stays tight under repeated impact.

Handle material: white hornbeam
Handle form: octagonal, roll-resistant
Handle section: 30 × 30 mm
Fitting method: hot-pressed onto the blade body
Finish: smooth bare wood, no coating

The bare wood surface keeps natural grip even when the hand is dry and dusty. No lacquer means the handle can be cleaned with a cloth and light oil. Octagonal faces also let the carver feel blade orientation without looking at the edge. For mallet work, strike the handle end squarely to avoid splitting the wood over time.

Common applications

Carvers use the sweep 41 V chisel for decorative grooves on picture frames, altars, columns and classical furniture. Small widths from 2 mm to 6 mm handle lettering and fine ornament. Medium widths from 8 mm to 16 mm cut borders and shaping grooves. Large widths from 18 mm to 30 mm open deep channels, separate masses and emphasise main details. The profile also works in soft stone such as slate, limestone and artistic plaster.

Care and resharpening

Wipe chips off with a dry cloth after each shift. Apply a thin film of rust-preventing oil before longer storage. When the edge dulls, regrind on a stone at 25° with even strokes. Test sharpness by slicing thin paper. Avoid prolonged contact with water and hard metal impact, which damage the edge and handle.
