Pfeil – L 12/4 – V – Linoleum & Block Cutter

The Pfeil L 12/4 V Linoleum & Block Cutter is a professional-grade carving tool designed for artists who demand control, strength and superb edge retention in their relief-printing equipment. Manufactured in Switzerland to an exceptional standard, this finely engineered cutter offers a perfect balance of precision and durability, making it a reliable choice for both lino artists and woodcut printmakers.

Outstanding Swiss Engineering

Each blade is forged from premium chrome vanadium steel, giving it an edge that stays sharper for longer while resisting wear, distortion and micro-chipping during detailed carving work. The 4 mm V-profile of the L 12/4 makes it especially suitable for crisp lines, fine detail cuts and controlled channel carving, whether you are shaping delicate textures or cleaning up tight corners in intricate designs.

Pfeil’s blades are electronically hardened to rigorous tolerances and hardened right to the edge of the bevel, ensuring consistent performance across the entire working surface. Every cutter is then hand-sharpened and polished to a flawless finish, ready for immediate use straight from the packaging.

Comfort, Balance and Stability

The tool features a beautifully shaped hardwood palm handle, sourced from ecologically managed Swiss forests to guarantee both sustainability and strength. The rounded profile sits comfortably in the hand, allowing steady control over long carving sessions without fatigue. A full bolster, square tang and reinforced internal ferrule give the tool exceptional stability, reducing vibration and preventing handle splitting even under heavy pressure.

Ideal for Relief and Lino Printing

With a 70 mm blade and an overall length of 125 mm, the L 12/4 is perfectly sized for both broad and intricate cuts. It is well suited to artists working in:

• Traditional linocut
