Michihamono – Japanese Woodblock Print Chisel Linocut Tools – U Gouge 1.5mm<\/strong> combines premium Japanese steel with careful balance and finish. Made by Michihamono, these lino carving tools<\/a> deliver the precision and feedback that printmakers expect for confident cuts in wood and lino.<\/p>\n

A robust brass ferrule<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Feedback is positive and predictable, helping you maintain line quality and avoid chatter across different grains and lino densities. This U-gouge excels at precise control with a 1.5 mm edge, balancing fine detail with efficient clearing.<\/p>\n

Perfect for fine linework, controlled clears and multi-layer projects.<\/p>\n
