## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, high quality bowl gouge.
*by S***1 on May 21, 2023*

Big improvement over average bowl gouge I had used up to recently getting this tool. Used on a midi-lathe with great results and easier to use overall despite being a larger chisel. Turned 10" Sapele bowl and looking forward to more with this gouge.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Gouge!
*by T***N on December 28, 2021*

Great product, balance, durability, price, and fast delivery. The best Fingernail Bowl Gouge I've ever owned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tool
*by G***R on October 20, 2015*

I "graduated" from pen turning to bowls. I quickly realized that I needed a decent gouge and Robert Sorby seemed to be a good value with a good reputation.I was not disappointed. It had a small nick on the flute but it still cut very well.Eventually I invested in a Wolverine Vari-grind sharpening system and now it keeps a razor sharp, perfect edge.Just note it is a finger nail grind so it's very aggressive. Use with care!
