    The P&N roughing gouge is milled from rod so has a substantial tang.

    OTOH the milling is often pretty rough and the flute needs honing.
    Cheers, Ern

    Stuffy,

    I reckon your handle is way too long. You've got more leverage than the tool can handle IMHO. All the roughing gouges I've seen bought "handled" came with much shorter handles - and for good reason I think as has explained.

    I reckon that since time is of the essence that you sharpen both ends and use it unhandled as is want to do
    that way when it gets a bit blunt you can just flip it around
