Great Linoleum Carving Tools!

These linoleum carving tools are fantastic for any arts and crafts enthusiast looking to try printmaking. Based on our own experience, they have a comfortable grip and come in a variety of different sizes and shapes for different types of carving techniques. The only downside is that they can dull quickly if not used properly, but with proper care, they last a long time. Highly recommend for anyone interested in relief printing!

Pros
  • Provides versatility with six different blade styles for linoleum carving
Cons
  • Some users may find the blades difficult to change or manipulate

Low quality. The tips are blunt, jagged and don't match the pen. --UPDATED with positive feedback--

Tips are serrated and/or blunt and do not fit in the grip. After I finally managed to insert the stylus into the holder, I found that it was impossible to pull it out without pliers. It gets a little easier with multiple insertions and extractions, but the tips are still of poor quality. Returned. UPDATE 12/2017. Two and a half years after my negative review above (after purchasing a used Speedball cutter off eBay that worked well) I received an email from Speedball customer service saying inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Emboss and Block Print Materials
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Sharp points are VERY difficult to get/get out of the holder!

1. No instructions are included with the tool. I had to search for videos on YouTube.2. It takes A LOT of juggling, twisting, pushing and pulling to get the cutting blades into the adjustable head. Also a lot of the same to get them. Since the blades are razor sharp, there is a high risk of injury during installation and removal. If your hand slips when trying to remove the cutter, hopefully you have a bandage handy!3. Once you assemble the item, it's pretty easy to use. Cuts rubber/linoleumโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lino cutter
Cons
  • New competitors
