Flexcut Palm V-Tool, High Carbon Steel, Solid Ash Handle, 1 mm, 45 Degrees (FR803)

Great tool to carve small notches

Awesome for linocut detail work. The 1mm 45° V is exactly what we needed to get better detail. Very sharp and a treat to use.

The first and most important bit of info you’ll want to know is that this is not a real V gouge. The bottom of the V is rounded, so if you’re looking for a sharp V look to the Japanese tools, like Power Grip or Mikisho. This tool is pretty much the same as the Pfeil 12/1.0. It came mis-sharpened, with a tiny spike sticking out at the apex of the cutting edge. It’s easy to mistakenly create this spike when sharpening a soft V gouge, and also fairly easy to fix it, but I didn’t expect to have to reshape a $20 + tool before using it. Should you buy this tool? Yes. It’s half the price of the Pfeil and just as effective. You should probably also know, or be ready to learn, how to sharpen very small gouges.

Perfect size for fine line cuts.

Used this small piece to carve a deep line in a picture frame that I was making. Needed a small width gouge and this worked perfectly.

Delivered on time.

It makes crisp lines out of the box. Sharp enough for hardwoods... I’ve used for letter engraved boxes and design work where I filled carving with epoxy or filler. If you want fine lines this does the trick...it’s as fine as I go with my filling and carving.

I purchased the flexcut mini set months ago (which I also love and use regularly) but found that I needed a slightly smaller palm tool for the lino and stamps I was working on. This palm tool did the job and is now my go to for tiny, intricate details.

Fühlt sich toll an in der Hand, weniger ermüdend zu halten und das Messer geht durch das Material wie durch Butter. Hatte bisher Anfänger Tools und hab lange überlegt ob ich das Geld ausgeben soll, hätt ich schon viel früher machen sollen, sehr viel präziser und weniger Fehlschnitte.

Great carving tool for Lino. This one is very tiny for fine details only. If you press into the limo too much around fine lines it will push out the lines you want to keep so only intended for tiny details. 1mm V. I love the handle as it fits nice and secure in my hand. I just wish I could afford more.

I am a wood sculptor with twenty years experience and I have owned four of these so far. Must have for micro work. This is their smallest “V” tool and it is very small! Flexcut products are excellent. I own a bunch and they are indispensable.

Das Tool ist perfekt für filigrane Arbeiten mit Linoleum - lediglich der Ärger mit dem Ausfüllen von Formularen und nachträglicher Verzollung führt zu Punktabzug. Ärgerlich

I am so excited to get my new Flexcut tool as I heard good reviews. Mine arrived and when I opened it, it seemed like it was used. The blade was so dull so I can't even carve anything properly. It slides and slips even with sharpening. I was going to return it, but it costs me shipping to US and so much trouble. Very disappointed...
