It includes the five-piece selection plus a <strong>4.5 mm flat chisel and 9 mm U-gouge<\/strong>. These extra profiles give you more ways to approach the background, edges and smaller spaces of a carved design.<\/p>\n<h3>Tools included<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Flat chisel: 4.5 mm.<\/li>\n<li>Round-edged flat chisel: 7.5 mm.<\/li>\n<li>Skew knife: 7.5 mm.<\/li>\n<li>U-gouges: 3 mm, 6 mm and 9 mm.<\/li>\n<li>V-gouge: 3 mm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Steel edges and wood handles<\/h3>\n<p>The Chicky cutting edges use Blue Paper Steel No. 2 and are supplied sharpened. Birch wood handles complete the individual tools, which measure approximately 170 mm overall. A Kiri wood box holds the set, and blade caps protect the cutting edges during storage. Keep the profiles organised so it is easy to see which tool you have chosen for the next cut.<\/p>\n<h3>Match the tool to the space<\/h3>\n<p>A narrow gouge can fit between small shapes, while a wider gouge removes a broader strip from an open area. The flat and round-edged flat chisels let you compare different clearing cuts. Use a spare block to test the profile and width of each tool, then keep those sample marks beside your project as a reference.<\/p>\n<p>When making a relief print, establish the main shapes before working into fine detail. Remove the areas that should remain blank, take a trial impression and look for marks that still need clearing. Changing tools as the space changes can make the work easier to plan without rushing the carving.<\/p>\n<p>Compare <a href=\"https:\/\/hickmandesign.co.uk\/blog\/tips\/u-vs-v-lino-cutting-tools-what-is-the-difference\/\">U and V lino cutting tools<\/a> to choose a profile for each mark.<\/p>\n<h3>Tool care<\/h3>\n<p>Secure your work and keep the supporting hand outside the cutting path. Clean and dry the blades, maintain their edges and fit the caps before storing the set. If you prefer fewer profiles, compare the five-piece version on the <a href=\"https:\/\/hickmandesign.co.uk\/buy\/equipment\/japanese-printmaking-tools\/chicky-wood-working-linocut-chisels-set-7pcs\/\">Chicky Chisels Sets page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li><strong>Seven CHICKY tools:<\/strong> a wider blade selection for wood carving and linocut.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blue Paper Steel No. 2:<\/strong> sharpened cutting edges with birch wood handles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Three U-gouges:<\/strong> 3 mm, 6 mm and 9 mm for different widths of rounded cut.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More blade shapes:<\/strong> flat 4.5 mm, round-edged flat 7.5 mm, skew 7.5 mm and V-gouge 3 mm.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Box and blade caps:<\/strong> Kiri wood storage box;
