I have finally found my missing link. I have been looking for an sj addiis #5 10mm gouge for about 20 years. I found one on ebay for a decent price. It had a crappy handle and it's rusted to s**t, but I can restore it. I even found a nice handle to match from my great great aunt, Katherine Bloomer's set. Her initials are still fresh.
