When to choose it
A small linocut can call for several cuts. Use the narrow #1 V for a vein in a leaf, then switch to the #5 U for clearing space around its outline. The #6 knife is for scoring edges or trimming, while the #3 small U gives you a round-bottomed channel between those jobs.
The metal chuck is adjusted by hand and the handle opens at the back to store loose cutters. If you switch profiles every few strokes or want a square channel, compare the six-tip set with two handles and the #4 square gouge.

Questions about this product
Which tip is useful for hatching fine lines?
Start with the #1 small V and try the line on a spare corner before cutting the design.
Where does the #3 fit between the two V tools?
Its rounded profile is useful for a curved channel or a small area you want to clear. A V is the choice for a tapering line.
Can I keep two different tips ready to use?
There is one working handle. Choose the two-handle assortment if you want to keep two profiles installed.
