I have a no1 fishtail...it’s actually quite handy even though it’s double bevel. My straight no1 gouge does gather dust!

Two Cherries has a single-bevel fishtail (chippingaway.com). I haven't had much luck finding any other carving tool company that provides this. Pfeil has a double bevel fishtail, and a single bevel straight, but no single-bevel fishtail. I prefer single bevel because I can use it in 2 different ways as 2 different chisels - bevel side up or bevel side down. May seem like a small detail, but it makes a big difference if you want the flexibility.
