I don't know the brand. They come in a blue box which says woodcarving tools, 5 pcs. There is some text in Japanese too. You can get them in a few places in the UK including handprinted.co.uk I'm not sure about other countries. Hope that helps!

@Linocutboy It also helps that I got some nice hand made Italian cutting tools recently, which have completely changed my attitude and confidence. You explain everything really well though. You should make more videos. Seriously, I got a lot out of this and I've been watching shot tons of similar videos lately. You nailed it though.

This was a really interesting, helpful series of videos. I've been looking for technique tips on rubber stamp carving but they seem to be hard to find. I know the basics but I need more technique help. So I'm gonna try some lino, after watching this, because I'm thinking maybe it's a little easier because it doesn't stretch like rubber does. It just seems like that would make carving easier. And I like the idea of coloring the lino before you cut so you can actually see where you've cut. That's something I can apply to carving rubber, too. Anyway, thank you! I'm a subscriber to your channel now!

Have you ever demonstrated cutting very small *positive* circles (so circles that will print, not cutting out the inside of a circle shape)? I mostly run into trouble when trying to cut eyes, especially pupils, as well as simple stylized eyes that are just dots… really any kind of eye, especially when they need to match a pair! It is so much easier to remove a circle of Lino or stamp-carving material than it is to leave it in. Doing a whole pattern of little polka dots sounds very intimidating, although after watching this, I think maybe I should just focus more on the negative shapes in between. If you (and/or anyone else reading this) has any tips, including which tools would work best, I’d love to hear it! I’ve tried holding a tool steady and trying to turn the Lino, but that hasn’t helped with the symmetry issue. I like putting people into my artwork in all mediums (probably my favorite subject) but with relief printing, I’ve just run into problems with eyes so many times! Thank you and thank you so much for this video and all of the information you provide! I’ve been a fan for years, ever since I first saw your Dodo! [Speaking of dodos, have you ever read any of the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde? The first one is “The Eyre Affair” and he’s written many since. There is a dodo in them and they are also brilliant, funny, and brilliantly funny! 🦤]

So many linoprint tutorials on KZfaq showcasing fancy designs, but thank goodness for clear, concise and pragmatic tutorials like yours. Really useful for those not knowing how to get started and the techniques to be used. I bought a kit a couple of years ago and have only done one linocut! Now I feel better equipped to get into it properly. Look forward to seeing more of your videos. Many thanks, my friend. 👍 PS Any tips on how to plan out the design would be a tremendous help - in terms of how to put cut out areas and non cut out areas which are adjacent so that it makes sense when printing. I find I don't know what to have white and what to have black (if you get what I mean). I've ruined linocuts because I've put white against white and vv.

I'm loving all your videos. Exactly the info that I've been after as I haven't printed since school. I am getting the Japanese starter set and wanted one extra fine tool to supplement. Do you definitely recommend a U tool over V for detailed outlining? I'm doing an intricate Indian wedding elephant design with the couple's name etc.

Thanks Salma! Glad you like the videos. The difference isn't huge between them. The U will give you a more regular, even width line and the V will have more varied width. I've always preferred the U myself.
