These are some of my gouge. I’m pretty sure every one of these are ground incorrectly by past owners who didn’t know.
As far as I understand it, a gouge, regardless of how much curvature it has, should have a straight edge when looking down on it; otherwise it’s impossible for the tool to carve a proper scallop or use the side of the edge.
I think the only exception for rounded edges like these are for certain turner’s gouges, which none of these are.
