Why Choose Forged Steel Tools for Your Wood Carving Needs?

Unmatched Quality and Craftsmanship

Hand forging and mass manufacturing are two distinct approaches to tool production, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

At our wood carving store, we specialize in hand forging wood carving tools for several reasons:

  • Strength: When hand forging carving tools for wood, metal is heated and manually hammered. When metal is forged, its tiny grains get squeezed together, making it much tougher and less likely to break. This process, called grain refinement, gives the metal a stronger structure, which is also resistant to bending or breaking.
  • Customization: Our wood carving shop offers customization options as hand-forging helps adjust tools to specific needs and preferences.
  • Enhanced Edge Retention: With exceptional edge retention, woodcarvers tools do not need frequent sharpening. Better edge retention happens thanks to hand forging processes like repeated heating and hammering of the metal, precise control over heating and cooling temperatures, and steel refinement that eliminates impurities and reduces the size of the grain structure.
  • Design: Carving stores offering mass-manufactured supplies can hardly boast of unique design. With manual manufacturing in our wood carving store, design is one of the key benefits, from ergonomic handles to customized shapes and sizes of blades.
  • High Conformance Level: The precision of hand-forging allows tools to meet established standards, delivering consistency and accuracy in every cut. At Sharky Forged Steel Tools™, we manufacture tools from the 52100 carbon steel conforming to the ASTM A295 industry standard.

Wide Selection of Tools

Our wood carving shop offers a wide range of tools tailored to meet diverse needs. Every tool in our wood carving store is crafted using 52100 carbon steel, popular for its long-lasting sharp edge and ability to endure heavy-duty tasks. Together with ash wood handles, these tools provide a natural feel, excellent durability, feature ergonomic grip, and shock-absorbing qualities.
