This handle is equally at home providing added comfort when stretching to the bottom of long vases or adding that stability often required with many turning techniques. Its length provides that added leverage and additional support. Probably the most popular Sovereign handle. As well as the handle only option, the SOV-16S comes with the addition of two collets (SOV-C10 and SOV-C13).

The Spiralling System and Texturing Tool also use this collet.
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 ⅝" 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.
Robert Sorby Sovereign System, SOV-C10 presents a ⅜" aperture making a fast hold for ¼" bowl gouges and fingernail bowl gouges. It also matches ¼" spindle gouges, fingernail spindle gouges and long and strong spindle gouges.
The SOV-CT ensures a firm fit for our many flat tang tools. Tools that fit this collet include square end scrapers, hardwood scrapers, round nose scrapers, diamond/side scrapers, curved scrapers and box scrapers, oval and standard skews, the standard and fluted parting tools and the spindle and continental roughing gouges.
