Flexcut Palm Tools combine precision craftsmanship with ergonomic design to provide woodcarvers and printmakers with exceptional control and comfort. Unlike traditional long-handled carving tools, their compact handles fit naturally into the palm, allowing users to guide the cutting edge through subtle wrist movements and controlled hand pressure. This design makes them particularly well suited to intricate carving, fine detailing, and projects requiring accuracy.

Each tool features an ergonomically shaped ash wood handle that provides a secure, comfortable grip while helping to minimise hand fatigue. The compact design allows users to work close to the cutting surface, improving visibility and control when creating delicate patterns, refining contours, or removing small amounts of material.

Flexcut’s high-carbon steel blades are precision-ground and factory-honed to deliver sharp, reliable cutting edges. Their flexible construction supports smooth, controlled carving movements, allowing users to work efficiently across a variety of suitable materials and techniques.

With a selection of cutting profiles available, including different gouge shapes and V-tools, the Flexcut Palm Tool range accommodates a wide variety of creative applications. From relief carving and decorative woodworking to linocut printmaking and detailed sculptural work, these tools provide the precision and versatility required for both beginner and experienced carvers.

All Flexcut tools are able to be used to carve both wood and lino.

 Product Features:

• Ergonomic Ash Handles: Ergonomically contoured solid ash handles designed to fit flush against the palm, reducing hand strain and muscle fatigue during extended relief carving sessions.
• Flexible High-Carbon Steel: Manufactured using thin-gauge, high-carbon spring steel that flexes under pressure to prevent blade binding and maintain consistent cut depth.
• Factory Honed: Hand-tested and honed to a razor-sharp edge directly out of the box, requiring zero initial grinding before use.
• Material Versatility: Engineered for smooth chip control across linoleum blocks, rubber substrates, softwoods (basswood, butternut), and hardwoods (cherry, walnut).
• Profile Range: Available in a vast selection of sweeps, deep gouges, V-tools, and skew chisels, clearly stamped for quick profile identification.
