The Swiss Pfeil company is the leading European maker of carving tools. Every blade they manufacture is drop-forged from a very tough, hard steel alloy made exclusively for Pfeil. The blades are subsequently heat-treated in an electric furnace and then ground and polished by hand. The blades are uniformly hardened over their entire length to 59 - 61 RC and securely mounted to oiled ash handles using aninterior ferrule, making them virtually unbreakable.<span style="\"FONT-FAMILY:" times="" new="" roman="" serif;="" font-size:="" 10pt\"="">
