Three carving chisels plus one carving knife make up this four-piece German set. Handles are turned from hornbeam, a dense hardwood that resists repeated mallet blows. Blades arrive ground at 17 degrees from the factory, a bevel suited to soft woods. Blade hardness reaches 61 HRC for clean cuts and longer edge retention. Typical jobs include relief work, ornament carving, lettering and fine detail cuts.
A wood carving chisel set with four separate tools covers the basic cuts used in sculpture and ornament work. The Kirschen 3424000 assortment holds three carving chisels, coded 3201008, 3208008 and 3239006, together with one carving knife coded 3352000. Every handle is turned from hornbeam. The blades are forged from tool steel and hardened to 61 HRC. Manufacturing takes place in Germany, and the set is supplied in a cardboard box.

All four cutting edges leave the factory ground at 17 degrees. That bevel angle is matched to soft timber such as pine, willow and birch. The edge enters the fibre with moderate hand pressure and keeps the surface smooth. Hornbeam is dense and takes load well, so the user can steer the tool precisely during detail passes.
Each tool in the box carries a different blade profile, so the four pieces complement rather than duplicate each other. The straight chisel 3201008 flattens ground and cleans backgrounds. The curved profiles 3208008 and 3239006 cut hollows and curved grooves. The knife 3352000 handles small elements and tight corners. Tool steel hardened to 61 HRC supports a keen edge, while the hornbeam handle gives a smooth grip surface.
The four profiles can be combined inside one piece of work. A carver roughs the shape with the curved chisels, then levels the field with the straight blade. Final outlines and undercuts are finished with the knife. Because the bevel is prepared before delivery, the tools can be put to work directly. Later resharpening should follow the same 17 degree angle.
The set serves decorative pattern carving, relief modelling on board surfaces and small detail work in artistic sculpture. Furniture makers use it to raise ornament on panels and mouldings. Carvers and craft workshops use it for lettering, chip carving figures and fine outline cuts on soft species such as pine, willow and birch. It also suits training use, where a learner needs a small group of profiles rather than a large rack of gouges.
Wipe the blades clean after each session and store the set dry. When an edge dulls, regrind it at 17 degrees to restore cutting performance. Avoid using these carving chisels on hardwood or on metal, because the thin edge can chip. Hold the handle firmly and apply even pressure, which keeps the cut line smooth and under control.
Kept to these limits, the four tools cover a wide range of carving passes on soft timber. The hornbeam handles, the 17 degree factory bevel and the 61 HRC blades define both the working scope and the sharpening routine for this Kirschen set.
