You may well be right! And I do remember that I have a Stubby
coming.......all the more reason to be careful with other purchases (not
that I will, of course). Spending more money I have found, unfortunately,
does not always assure getting a higher quality product. Glaser gouges may
not be all that much more expensive than Oneway gouges and the separately
purchased handles. I haven't checked the prices, yet. Thanks.

I would spend a few extra dollars and get a Glaser Gouge - it is a much
stronger alloy and it retains an edge better than the HSS tools.
Now come on - you are getting a Stubby - so also get the best bowl gouge!
