WILLBOND 5 Pcs Linocut Carving Tools Set - Triangular Linoleum & Wood Carving Knife Chisel V Shaped Tools for Linocut Printmaking & Woodcarving (1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm)

The media could not be loaded. I thought I could get away with buying the speedball carving tool with interchangeable blades but it quickly made me want to give up. After researching more into carving tools for block printing I realized I'd need to invest in better tools. I ordered thise product and some wood carving tools for whittling, that I thought would be similar in quality. However I returned the wood carving tools since they were just not right for detailing, although others claim they were good I found them choppy so don't waist your time going that route! I'd say these are one step below the flexcut micro tools which are very pricey but I caved and got them aswell which was also very worth it.In short this product is a great buy if you aren't ready to throw crazy money at the "Profesional tools" they come sharp and handle corners well. It's easy to hold and I really appreciate the rubber covers. Which my flexcut tools don't even come with a cover for the blade ends. You'll also get a case, which I thought smelled strongly of chemicals. But I threw it away since I have a peg board to hold all my tools.I do see some minor flaws in the metal but for the price point they cut well and should last for a decent time.I suggest getting a sharpening block since they won't stay sharp forever.

great item. these are extremely sharp and cut the lino perfectly. so much better than the starter i used.

While nowhere near the 'high end' range of tools, they work as advertised. Right out of the box they were able to make clean cross-grain cuts in numerous pieces of basswood carving blocks. It is too soon to tell how long they will hold their edge or how well they will take to stropping, but for the very low price of $16, these get the job done for me in the very early days of my wood carving hobby. I have a few knives and gouges from OCC, FlexCut, and BeaverCraft, so I am familiar with good (or at least far better) quality tools than the cheap knockoffs, but as I stated, this particular set of gouges worked right out of the box on cross-grain cuts and appear well built with ergonomic wooden handles. The steel doesn't look high quality but again the edge sharpening longevity and quality remain to be seen. Definitely a good starter set that won't break the bank!

Product is ergonomic, very sharp and the variety of sizes allow for a wide range of cuts down to pretty amazing accuracy. Haven't had them for very long but they have been amazing with Linocutting! The only reason I knocked off a star is because they came and looked used but they were still sharp and worked perfectly.

Exactly as described. Nice and sharp. Easy to work with.

Not Wirth it for me to send them back. The handles r nice but the blade don't cut well at all.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect for my specific needs

They arrive fairly sharp. But are made out of a steel that sharpens up easily so I had no trouble putting a an even better edge on them and I've had no trouble maintaining the edges during use. The case is of a good quality and the tips came with thick covers on them for safety. They are comfortable to hold and to use and the shapes and sizes are ideal. Great tools for the cost.
