High quality Swiss made carving tools suitable for either lino or wood cutting. Each tool is made from chrome vanadium steel, precisely forged, sharpened and polished for excellent results. Palm-handles are made of hardwood from ecologically managed Swiss forests.
Full bolster and square tang for optimal stability. Internal steel ferrule under bolster prevents handle from splitting. Tools are hardened to edge of bevel. Blades electronically hardened to exacting tolerances.
I started my set with just three of these blades: L12/1, L12/4, and L7/10. these three tools are the most essential and can get you far in carving without having to invest in a big set. I have since added the other three blades: L 11/.05, 11/3, and L5/3. I feel with these six tools I am able to carve whatever shapes I desire!
L 12/1 - Smallest v-shaped tool. I probably use this size the most.
L 12/4 - Large V-shaped tool.
L 11/.05 - Smallest u-shaped tool. Perfect for rounded detail work and dots.
L 11/3 - Large U-shaped tool.
L 5/3 - Medium flat U-shaped tool. Clears out smaller areas quickly.
L 7/10 - Largest Flat U-shaped tool. Clears out large areas quickly.
