"I love the 'heft'of the tool, handle and
gouge.
It makes for a very steady tool on the rest and
against the work.
I had some trouble getting the profile I wanted
on the Ultimate gouge. I did an asymmetric grind,
left side more profiled for more aggressive back
cutting or roughing and right side less so for
finish cuts. It took me a bit to get it right,
my fault, but I love it now. I do find the steel
on the Ultimate Gouge holds an edge longer than
my other tools and I can get it very, very sharp.
The Serious Camlock Handle works very well. I
find it comfortable to the hand and it works well
with your gouge.
Overall I am very pleased with what you have provided
so far and I look forward to the heavier gouge
for roughing."
