Greetings,

Finally got around to ordering some Tools and try some Figure Carving and detail work, the Tools arrived today and looking at the Pfeil 11/1, Veiner? i hope thats the correct term, one side wall of it is significantly thicker than the other. Meaning that the Outside Profile one side is pretty much a flat while the other is much more rounded and thicker, i hope the picture shows what i mean.

Now I've never owned a Tool like this before no idea if one side is too thin or the other too thick i.e. what the tool should look like. Question is just use it as is, send it back ?

For Question 2 What to use for Strops on tools this small? using the tool to shape a piece of wood and some honing compound should work to get the burr of the inside correct? or is there a better option? especially on the 1mm V Tool i imagine a proper inside fit is critical.
