Paring chisels, flat irons, as well as straight, curved and cranked gouges and all of these in various sizes. Just imagine that every item travels through 32 stages to reach its completion. From the forging of the blanks-made of a special durable steel which holds the sharpness especially long, the shaping in the stamp shop and the exact grinding to shape and size, it goes on with the straightening, marking, hardening, polishing and scarfing to the mounting of the wooden handle and attaching the label. Dastra tools, handmade by the employees of the company, are almost small works of art in themselves. The customers are professional artists and place high value on quality. The tools are renowed in wood carver circles and are sold worldwide. Even your grandchildren will still be able to work with the handmade Dastra tools.
