U.J. Ramelson #107M Sub Mini Palm Woodcarving 5-Piece Set

Description

The Ramelson #107M is a five-piece palm set built for the small, careful cuts that make a project look finished. Each tool measures about 5-1/2 inches overall with a blade around 1-3/4 inches, and the compact chisel sizes are what make this set shine on intricate work. The lineup gives you a 1/8" gouge, a 3/32" veiner, a 3/32" bent parting tool, a 3/16" skew, and a 3/16" bent chisel, covering the shapes you reach for most when you're relieving wood, cleaning up lines, or adding fine detail.

What Sets the #107M Sub Mini Apart

Every tool is hand forged from W1 high-carbon tool steel, then heat treated and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 60 to 62. That hardness range is the sweet spot for edge retention on detail tools, so they take a keen edge and hold it through plenty of passes. They come polished, buffed, and sharpened right out of the package, so there's no fussing with grinding before your first cut.

Palm Handles Built for Control

The palm-style design keeps your fingers close to the cutting edge while the driving force sits in your palm, which is exactly what you want when you're guiding a tool through delicate wood. The hardwood handles have a high buff finish and a flat spot machined into the side, so a tool set down mid-project won't roll off the bench and onto the floor.

A Workhorse for Gunsmiths and Carvers Alike

Though it lives in the carving world, the #107M earns its keep as a gunsmithing tool. It's a favorite for stock inletting, fitting, and fine relief work around triggers, grips, and fore-ends, and it does the same duty for luthiers shaping violins, decoy carvers, and detail woodworkers. Ramelson has been forging American-made hand tools since 1937, and this set carries that same reputation for quality steel and dependable edges.
