Hi Steve,
If you go to the web site www.stubaiusa.com, you can see a list of tools available. I also sell the 8000 grit diamond stone - (but am still in the process of updated that part of my web site) E-mail me directly at marymaycarving@yahoo.com and we can discuss the process of ordering.

I am just starting to learn carving, I belong to a carving club and am having a ball. I also started with a flexcut set of tools. I desperately need to learn how to sharpen them, cotton wood bark really dulls the tools because of the sand etc. In it. I also have used oak, very hard, password and, my favorite, so far, butternut. I really am glad I found your website, and plan to continue with your lessons.
Ok, I'm a bit dense. Pfeil does make a # 3, 3mm straight gouge. I was looking at fishtail gouges. A 3mm fishtail would seem to be hard to do since it is so small. So far, I haven't found a # 8, 10mm Pfeil fishtail.
Steve,
Fishtails are available in most brands starting from 5 or 6mm width. Also, #8 is usually the highest curvature (the higher the number the more curved). If Pfeil doesn't have a #8 fishtail, that's not that big of deal. Quite often the benefits of fishtails are in the #3 through #5 where they can really help in being able to get into tight areas with the sharp corners. Once they get a larger curve, that benefit of fishtails gets less. The larger the curvature, the less different between the straight and fishtail gouges.
I sell the Stubai tools (www.stubaiusa.com) which are Austrian tools. They are good quality and a good price. I haven't really set up my site yet to advertise this yet. Let me know if you have any more questions or if you want to talk about purchasing the Stubai tools.
