SK130 FLEXSK130 5 Piece Printmaking Set

Good, adaptable set. I find changing the blades a bit hard, but the handle is comfortable to use and it's a good basic set of very sharp blades.

Excellent product and good price point. These are hard to find, was glad to find them here. They're very sharp, easy to use. Well made. The only thing that's a pain is switching out the blades. I mainly got them for the smallest blade which is spot on for my needs for linocut. Ergonomically good grip and great range of blade shapes. Comes with everything you need to sharpen the blades, too! Very versatile for linocut or woodcuts.

Mi riservo di aggiungere qualcosa di il primo utilizzo, ma posso già dire che la confezione è spettacolare: 4 sgorbie perfette, affilate e di ottimo materiale, un manualetto in inglese per principianti del linocut e un set di attrezzi per affilatura e lucidatura... A questo prezzo, e per questa marca, un affare davvero!

Es exactamente el producto que esperaba en calidad

When people say these tools are sharp, they are not exaggerating. I do linoblock printing and I’m pretty serious about safety while carving. I wear cut-resistant gloves, pay attention to blade direction, all of that. The irony is the only time I injured myself was during cleanup because I took the gloves off thinking I was done. I accidentally grabbed the protective cap from a different brand of blades and tried putting it onto one of these. The blade sliced straight through the cap, through my finger, and hit bone before I even realized what happened. So let that be your warning. These things are insanely sharp. That said, the cutting performance is incredible because of it. The difference compared to cheaper lino cutters was immediately noticeable. Cutting traditional linoleum feels dramatically smoother and more controlled now. It almost feels closer to carving those softer easy-carve/rubber style blocks than actual linoleum. The cleaner cuts have noticeably improved the quality of my prints and made detailed carving much easier. The way the handle fits in my hand feels very natural and my hand doesnt feel exhausted or cramped after long sessions. While the cost is high, I do see these as something I'll have for a very very long time. If you’re getting into relief printing or linocut seriously, these feel like real tools instead of hobby store compromises. Just respect the blades because they absolutely do not care about your confidence level or lack of mindfulness.

Awesome set , nice and sharp ! It arrived super quick too . I would definitely purchase this again .
