How to use them

Four steps to linocut.

Here’s how carving tools are commonly used for linocut.

1
Transfer your design
Draw or trace your design onto the linoleum. Remember that the print will be reversed.
2
Outline with the V-shaped gouge
Use a narrow V-shaped gouge or a small U-shaped gouge to follow the lines. Always cut away from the hand holding the block.
3
Clear areas with the wide U-shaped gouge
Use the wide U-shaped gouge to remove larger areas that should remain white. The straight and angled blades are useful for edges and corners.
4
Roll on the ink and print
Roll linocut ink onto the block, place the paper on top and press with a spoon or a printing press.

Phoenix Woodful Knife Tools for Linocut and Wood Carving

Linocut is a printmaking technique: you carve away everything from the linoleum that should remain white, then print from the raised design. You need carving tools with different blade shapes for this. The Phoenix E5421G-6 set contains six such tools with wooden handles in one blister pack.

Which tool to use for each task

V-shaped gouge: fine lines, outlines and hatching
Narrow U-shaped gouge: softer lines and smaller areas
Wide U-shaped gouge: clearing larger areas
Straight and angled blades: straight edges, corners and trimming edges

Suitable materials

The tools are suitable for printmaking linoleum and soft wood. The short blades and 10.8 cm handles let you guide the cut from the palm of your hand. Larger wood-carving chisels are commonly used with a mallet for hard wood.

Work safely

Hold the block so your free hand is always behind the blade, not in front of it. A non-slip mat or a stop at the edge of the table can help. Find more tools in the Phoenix collection, and everything for printmaking in the linocut collection.
