Renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, this tool is ideal for detailed lino and woodcut projects, offering unparalleled control and durability.
🔧 Precision Engineering & Blade Quality
At the heart of the Pfeil 12/1 is its 1mm-wide, 60° V-shaped blade, perfect for rendering fine lines, intricate textures, and detailed outlines. Crafted from chrome vanadium steel, the blade is precisely forged, sharpened, and polished to achieve razor-sharp precision. Each blade undergoes electronic hardening to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent sharpness and edge retention.
The tool’s short, solid blade enhances control, allowing for precise movements essential in detailed work. This design is particularly beneficial when navigating tight curves or executing delicate patterns.

The Pfeil 12/1 features a mushroom-shaped handle made from hardwood sourced from ecologically managed Swiss forests. This ergonomic design fits naturally in the palm, reducing hand fatigue during extended carving sessions. An internal steel ferrule beneath the bolster reinforces the handle, preventing splitting and ensuring long-term durability.
