Description
Michihamono – Japanese Woodblock Print Chisel Linocut Tools – U Gouge 1.0mm combines premium Japanese steel with careful balance and finish. Made by Michihamono, these wood and lino cutters deliver the precision and feedback that printmakers expect for confident cuts in wood and lino.
A robust brass ferrule allows the handle to be detached, so you can freely adjust blade projection to your grip and task. This design speeds up maintenance, cleaning and sharpening, keeping the edge working perfectly for years.
The blade holds a keen edge, gliding through fibres and producing tidy channels that print with clarity. This U-gouge excels at precise control with a 1.0 mm edge, balancing fine detail with efficient clearing.
Suitable for detail carving, border cuts and expressive surface marks.
