Made with\u00a0<strong>double-layer steel construction<\/strong>, each blade is fully sharpened and ready to use, offering a crisp, responsive cut that makes carving both lino and wood feel controlled and satisfying from the very first pass.<\/p>\n<p>At the core of each tool is a\u00a0<strong>Blue Paper Steel No.2 cutting edge<\/strong>, laminated with steel to provide a strong yet forgiving blade. This traditional Japanese steel is known for its ability to take a keen edge while remaining durable under regular use. With proper care and occasional sharpening, these knives can be used reliably for many years, making them an excellent long-term investment rather than a disposable starter tool.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>birch wood handles<\/strong>\u00a0are shaped for comfort and stability, with a total tool length of approximately 170\u2013175mm and a handle length of around 145mm. This size makes the tools easy to control, particularly for beginners or younger users, while still offering enough leverage and precision for more detailed carving work. Each blade also comes with a\u00a0<strong>protective cutting edge cap<\/strong>, helping to keep hands safe and edges protected when not in use.<\/p>\n<p>CARVY sets are especially popular in\u00a0<strong>schools, workshops, and introductory carving classes<\/strong>, but they are equally at home in a personal studio. Whether you are carving lino blocks, soft woods, or experimenting with relief printing for the first time, these tools provide a reassuring balance of sharpness, control, and durability.<\/p>\n<p>All sets are neatly presented in a\u00a0<strong>paulownia wood box<\/strong>, making them easy to store, transport, or gift.<\/p>\n<h3>Set Contents<\/h3>\n<p><strong>5-Piece Set<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flat knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Seal knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Round knife 3mm \/ 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Triangular knife 4.5mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>7-Piece Set<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flat knife 4.5mm<\/li>\n<li>Flat round knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>In-knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Round knives 3mm \/ 6mm \/ 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Triangular knife 4.5mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>9-Piece Set<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flat knife 4.5mm<\/li>\n<li>Flat round knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>In-knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Left-hand knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Round knives 3mm \/ 6mm \/ 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Round \u201csquishy\u201d knife 9mm<\/li>\n<li>Triangular knife 4.5mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li><strong>Double-layer steel blades<\/strong>, fully sharpened for clean, confident carving straight out of the box<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue Paper Steel No.2 cutting edge<\/strong>\u00a0for excellent sharpness, edge retention, and long-term use<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comfortable birch handles<\/strong>, balanced for control and reduced hand fatigue<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ideal for beginners, students, and workshops<\/strong>, yet reliable enough for regular studio use<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supplied in a paulownia wood box<\/strong>\u00a0with protective blade caps for safe storage<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Please note:<\/span>\u00a0<em>If a set is not currently in stock, it will be shipped directly from Japan and typically dispatched within 2\u20134 weeks.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":39023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[184,152,232,150,80,63,330],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-39012","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-cutting-tools","product_cat-japanese-printmaking-tools","product_cat-japanese-wood-carving-tools","product_cat-linocut-tools","product_cat-lino-printing-supplies","product_cat-equipment","product_cat-wood-carving-tools","pa_brands-michihamono","pa_country-japan","first","onbackorder","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
