RGM Linoleum Chisel, #301 (Small V)

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 #301, a small V-shaped chisel. This is one of the most popular shapes for cutting linoleum, along with the other V- and U-shaped chisels. Photos show a variety of shapes; each chisel sold separately.
