Pushing by hand is not always the most effective, efficient, or controled way to make a cut, especially on large projects or in dense hardwoods. Some times it takes extra power or persuasion, and that's where Flexcut's mallet tools come in. This six piece set has a good sampling of tools to get started on simpler projects and will suit the needs of most beginning carvers. Tools utilize Flexcut's signature razor sharp steel blades and 5-1/4" long tapered octagonal ash handles that can be driven with a mallet or pushed by hand. Overall length for each tool is approximately 10". Brass ferrules. USA
