A six-piece set of Flexcut micro carving tools with 1.5 mm high-carbon steel blades and ash handles. It covers the fine end of carving: a chisel, skew, sweep, deep U-gouge and 45° and 90° V-parting tools. The small blades and short handles suit detail work, cleanup of ridges and corners, and finishing touches on carvings that full-size gouges are too big for. Flexcut's steel and US-made build are the draw; the trade-off is that these are delicate tools meant for light cuts, and they need stropping to stay sharp.

Carvers who use micro tools rate the Flexcut set for sharpness out of the box and for reaching details larger gouges miss. The common complaints are that the edges need frequent stropping and that the thin blades can be damaged by too much pressure.
This set of six micro carving tools from Flexcut is made for the extra fine details in woodcarving. The tools are used for detailing, cleaning up ridges, cleaning up corners and adding finishing touches to carvings.
The blades are made in the USA from the same tool steel as Flexcut's larger tools, in a much smaller size. The handles are designed to give a secure but relaxed grip for detailed work. The tools are easy to sharpen on Flexcut's strops, which are sold separately.
