Robert Sorby manufactures 24 of the most universally used standard tools, 12 micro or palm-held tools and six larger sculpturing tools. When Robert Sorby reintroduced carving tools in 1993, we reappraised tool style and revised conventional thinking:
- Selecting special Sheffield alloy steel unique to Robert Sorby
- Creating perfect balance to counter new blade design
- Employing stringent heat treatment to ensure the finest edge retention
- Providing a polished, razor sharp factory finish
Safety
- Always carve away from you with hand behind the cutting edge
- Ensure wood is secured in clamp or vice
- Wear sensible shoes in case a tool is dropped and never try to catch one if you do
