Pfeil and most other brands of wood carving gouges are ground with the bevel on the outside of the sweep only. (Gouges with the bevel on the inside of the sweep have been made for specialized purposes but are rarely encountered. They are very difficult to sharpen.)
The curve in a carving tool is called the "sweep". The first number in the designation of the tool, and the one stamped on the handles and shafts of all the long handled tools and on the shafts of the palm handled ones, is the indicator of the amount of sweep - 1 being none or straight, 2 being slightly curved, all the way with increasing degree of sweep through 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 11. (A Pfeil # 10 is a straight reverse bent tool.) The illustrations are as close as possible to the actual size and shape of the tools. The second number on the long handle is the size of the tool in millimeters across the widest part of the cutting edge.

Veiners, or #11 carving gouges are special in that they are not made in a shape that is part of a circle like most other curved gouges. They are rather a kind of a "U" shape that is deeper than it is wide. The larger sizes of these gouges are useful for roughing out carvings quickly in that they can cut deeply without burying the corners of the cutting edge under the surface of the wood, which causes splitting. In the smaller sizes they have often been used for depicting the veining in leaves and foliage which has given them the name of "veiners."
