The Flexcut 4mm Micro Shallow U-Gouge is a palm-sized carving tool for fine work: a shallow U-shaped sweep in a 4mm width, mounted on a short handle meant to sit in the palm. It is aimed at carvers doing detail and relief work, lettering, and small decorative cuts where a full-size gouge is too broad. Flexcut is known for edge-ready tools that need only a light strop, and the micro line trades capacity for control. Compared with larger bench gouges, it removes less wood per pass but reaches into tight curves and shallow channels more cleanly.
