Just had an Email from Yandles (sawmill and tool supplier in the west country UK) they are listing the Excelsior 19mm roughing gouge at £32.61 without the handle.
Personally I like making my handles! I have the Excelsior range spindle gouge and it is very good can't say definite facts but I would say I sharpen it about 30% less often than a non titanium coated one. would be an even better option on a roughing gouge as they are not used for so many hours overall on a job.
Problem is I have about another 3" of sharpening before I need to replace mine! so won't be buying one... but the price is well below normal so if you are in the market, thought I would give a heads up...
