From a one-man business to a respected manufacturer of cutting tools.
Pfeil tools was founded in 1902 as a producer of cutting tools in Langenthal, Switzerland. Back then, Pfeil mainly produced professional cutting tools and surgical instruments.
Production of the first carving tools began in 1942. Within no time, the high quality of the tools proved extremely popular in Switzerland and abroad.
Now a third-generation family business, Pfeil is still based in Langenthal. The company has a world wide reputation for excellence amongst professional and amateur woodcarvers.
The "Green" factory at Langenthal
Pfeil makes every effort to actively protect the environment. Vital resources like water, air and energy are used sparingly and as effectively as possible. They have invested in water treatment facilities, recycle production waste and use wood waste to generate heat, in order to optimise their manufacturing process.
Pfeil’s green approach to their manufacturing underpins their ethos to meet stringent requirements in terms of quality, ecology and sustainability. Thus, Pfeil woodcarving tools have an enviable reputation around the world.
A wide variety of woodcarving tools
Pfeil blades are forged from a special high alloy steel and are honed ready for use.
They also make drawknives, mallets, background punches, adzes and a good range of sharpening tools and accessories. Please ask for your complimentary catalogue when ordering.
We try hard to keep everything in stock for immediate delivery and take the Pfeil range of woodcarving tools to selected woodworking shows.
