The design of conventional wood carving tools was primarily based on the need for production oriented carving of furniture and architectural details. The hundreds of shapes, widths and bends were all developed to carve ornamental motifs with as few cuts as possible.

Tool design really hasn't changed much since the industrial revolution, however carving has. Wood carving has become an art form for individual expression and one-of-a-kind sculptures. Flexcut™ carving tools have been designed to meet these needs.

A Flexible Blade
As the name implies, the Flexcut™ blade is flexible to give you more control over your cuts.

When using a conventional tool, as the wood is carved more deeply, the shank bumps the side of the depression (FIG. 1) hindering the carvers ability to end the cut smoothly. In the past this problem was solved by using a number of tools with a permanent bend in their shank allowing the cut to be ended. The deeper the depression, the tighter the bend. The problems with this method are: it requires a large number of tools for infrequent operations, - the bends are permanent and may not fit the task at hand, - you must search for the tool with the proper bend.

Multi-functional tools
Flexcut™ tools are multi-functional, and can take the place of a number of permanently bent conventional tools. Their unique spring shank has the ability to change shape as the contour of the wood dictates. When ending your cut, you simply push on the shank of the tool with your free hand (FIG. 2). The edge reverses angle and comes out of the cut.

Excellent edge holding capabilities
Made of high carbon spring steel, the secret lies in their dual hardness. The shank is tempered to the resiliency of a spring and the tip is hardened for superior edge holding properties.

Razor sharp
Each Flexcut™ tool is honed and polished. This give our customers a flawless edge that's ready to use. Any subsequent sharpening can be done just as you would with any conventional tool.

Handle design
In addition to all the other advantages, Flexcut™ uses an ergonomically designed handle to increase the comfort and ease of use. Its design keeps the force of the stroke in the heel of the palm instead of a tightly gripped tool.
