Kirschen Two Cherries Straight V-Parting Tool – No. 41, 60° V | Series 3141
The Kirschen Two Cherries Series 3141 is a professional straight V-parting tool for wood carving, featuring a 60° V-shaped cutting edge. Its profile is designed for cutting crisp angular grooves, outlining carved elements and adding decorative lines. Unlike a rounded carving gouge, its two cutting wings meet at a point to produce a distinct V-shaped cut.
