Back home in the studio and carving my latest Melb Back home in the studio and carving my latest Melbourne inspired lino with my new Sakura tools. They were lovely and sharp as expected so will see how long they last before they require sharpening. Must say, the colour coding was great for picking up the tool I needed quickly without having to inspect closely. They also didn't produce the usual callous on my middle finger that occurs when I use straight handles. I will definitely be picking up more of these on my next Japan trip.
