Pfeil – L 15/2 – V – Linoleum and Block Cutter
The Pfeil L 15/2 Linoleum & Block Cutter is a meticulous, Swiss-made carving tool designed for printmakers who value absolute accuracy and dependable handling. Featuring a narrow 2 mm blade, this cutter is ideal for artists focusing on fine, delicate work in both lino and woodcut printing. Its slim profile allows for clean, precise lines, detailed textures and subtle cuts where control is essential.
Swiss Craftsmanship You Can Rely On
Every Pfeil tool is produced to an exceptional standard, combining traditional forging skill with modern engineering. The blade is shaped from chrome vanadium steel, a material known for excellent edge retention, resilience and resistance to deformation under pressure. Pfeil hardens each blade electronically to exact tolerances, ensuring a consistent level of performance across the full length of the cutting edge.
Once forged, the blade is sharpened and polished by hand, giving it a razor-sharp finish straight from the workshop. This level of precision allows the tool to glide through lino, soft-cut vinyl, plywood and other relief surfaces with ease, reducing the risk of drag or tearing as you carve.
Comfortable, Balanced and Built to Last
A defining feature of Pfeil cutters is their beautifully shaped palm handles, crafted from hardwood supplied by ecologically maintained forests in Switzerland. The smooth, ergonomic design sits naturally in the hand, encouraging a relaxed grip that reduces hand fatigue during long printing sessions.
Inside the handle, a full bolster and square tang provide remarkable stability, ensuring the blade feels secure and well-balanced. The internal steel ferrule strengthens the handle further, preventing any risk of splitting when the tool is used with firmer pressure or in harder woods.
Perfect for Detailed Relief and Lino Printing
With a 70 mm blade and an overall length of 125 mm, the L 15/2 offers a comfortable and familiar size suited to both beginners refining their detail work and experienced printmakers pushing for absolute precision. It is particularly effective for:
- Fine linework in linocut
- Detail carving in woodblock printing
- Tight curves, corners and small patterning
- Cleaning edges and sharpening design outlines
Reliable, sharp and engineered to last, this Pfeil cutter is a valuable addition to any printmaker’s toolkit, especially for artists working in detailed or illustrative styles.
