Carving Tools

Nice and sharp to get the fine details in my handmade rubber stamps.

Bought these to go along with my larger ones. These are great for smaller details on faces around eyes and any where you need them in carving. Packaged well with great wooden storage box and also comes with a bandaid dispenser in it. Which is needed from time to time. Great value for the money. Came super sharp out of the box.

Well designed with nicely shaped handles that fit comfortably in the palm of my hand. They even come in a wooden storage box.

Comfortable to use, cut really well and can make the finest of details. I use them to cut rubber stamps.

I needed a set of micro carving tools for small detail work on my block prints. I chose these for their size and like them for control. I have small hands so I'll need to cut and reshape the handles a little. I was a little disappointed with the handle quality mainly due to how rough they were. It's possible I just happened to have a set where they were not sanded smooth so I was very aware of what I was holding rather than feeling like they were an extension of my fingers. Small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. The blades were nice and sharp out of their wooden storage case (the included bandaids make me smile). I have the Flexcut sharpening strop which makes quick work of keeping the blades clean and smooth. If you're looking for a set of tools to tackle fine, details in your project I highly recommend these.

A-1 quality!!!!!

If all you've dealt with were starter carving tools, this is worth the investment. I plan on buying all of the sizes. These are amazing, they carve like a hot knife through butter. No need to warm up anything just start carving, also they are very nice to hold in the hand.

I am a printmaker, and often need micro tools for making small intricate details. I've used these tools for linocut as well as woodblock carving. Because I work small, usually 9" X 12" I mostly use the smallest u gouge and the v gouge. This v gouge is now the only v gouge that I use, most of my larger tools are collecting dust. The larger u gouges (which are still small) are great for clearing small areas once they have been outlined. I do have to sharpen them with each use, so when I do purchase additional gouges, it will be because they hold an edge longer.
