The Robert Sorby Sovereign is a beautifully engineered and ergonomically designed interchangeable handle system that not only looks good but has the perfect feel and balance. Originally designed to address the demand for flexible handle lengths and provide alternative and practical tool storage options, the Sovereign has become a woodturning legend and industry benchmark. Its softex nonslip grip provides excellent comfort and stability, while four easily interchangeable collets ensure the majority of Robert Sorby’s vast turning tool range fit this agile system.

The SOV-C06 has the narrowest aperture and is suitable for the ¼" Spindle gouge There are also a few tools that require no collet and fit directly into ?" shank end of the Sovereign handle. Among these are the ½" and ¾" bowl gouges, the ½" fingernail bowl gouge and the extra long multi tip hollowing tool.
