Reviews

These Italian-made linoleum knives feature tempered steel blades that have been thermally attached to shock-resistant fiberglass handles and reinforced with a brass containment ferrule. They're ideal for engraving matrices in linoleum, and their sturdy construction also allows them to be used with a hammer for carving wood.

These are solidly constructed carving tools at an economical price, ideally suited for fine arts schools.

Linoleum Knife Set — This set contains a sharpening stone and 5 tools, including #301, #304, #308, #306, and #309.

Not as expected

By llen

Comments about RGM Linoleum Knives:

I received the blades, they were dull. One 2 would cut lino. I couldn't get them sharp so I had a friend who knew how to sharpen blades and he couldn't do much better. There is one which I am not sure if it is a "V" or a badly made "U". They are nothing compared to E C Lyons Lino set which I bought since ordering these.

Poor Quality Control

By John

from Alexandria

Comments about RGM Linoleum Knives:

One of the five chisels had a good size nick in it. I'm surprised Quality Control didn't spot it and reject it. The set was very inexpensive, but that's no excuse.

Not as good as lower priced options

By Printmama

from Muskegon, MI

Comments about RGM Linoleum Knives:

My students and I had difficulty using these knives as the angle of the blade was too straight and the handles difficult to hold. I would like to return them

Work great at an awesome price

By John Andrew

from Darlington, S.C.

Comments about RGM Linoleum Knives:

I have had these tools for about 3 years. They are a more than a fantastic deal for the price. I cut hard gray lino and also soft and hard wood as reliefs to print with. I use a grease compound and leather strop to keep them honed.

I do have some more expensive Japanese knives that I use also. However, I use both sets together. Cheap or Expensive they must be kept sharp to work well. As these tools come in medium sizes, I use smaller sized Japanese knives and gouges to do more intricate work. Nevertheless, I enjoy these Italian knives also.
