Made in Italy from tempered steel, RGM Linoleum Chisels are high-quality, affordable tools for relief printmaking. Sharper and stronger than the interchangeable blades found in printmaking kits, RGM chisels are fused to their shock-resistant fiberglass handles and reinforced with brass ferrules.
RGM chisels are sharp and clean-cutting out of the box, and they can be sharpened repeatedly with ordinary sharpening stones and honed with strops. If you're not comfortable sharpening a blade at home, these will still last a lot longer than the interchangeable blades, and they aren't too expensive to replace later.
Available in a variety of shapes. This is #312, with a sharp triangular tip for very fine marks, corrections, and cleaning up stray pieces of lino.
Photos show a variety of shapes; each chisel sold separately.
