\n

Michihamono – Japanese Woodblock Print Chisel Linocut Tools – V Gouge 4.5mm<\/strong> is crafted by Michihamono in Japan, bringing traditional forging to modern printmaking. The lino cutting tool blade<\/a> is hand-forged from high-carbon steel for exceptional sharpness, control and edge retention, making it equally at home in woodblock printing and linocut.<\/p>\n

The brass ferrule<\/strong> lets you remove the handle and set the blade length to suit your technique, making fine control and upkeep straightforward.<\/p>\n

On the block, cuts track cleanly with minimal resistance, supporting confident curves, tight corners and crisp outlines. This V-gouge excels at precise control with a 4.5 mm edge, balancing fine detail with efficient clearing.<\/p>\n

Suitable for detail carving, border cuts and expressive surface marks.<\/p>\n
