Essdee lino cutter handle, 1 piece

Complete your Essdee lino cutter with this separate handle. The shaped polypropylene grip has an aluminium collar for securing an interchangeable lino blade.

What do you receive?

You order one handle without blades. The photograph shows a box of several handles; the order unit for this item is one piece. Select your blade profile separately for fine lines, outlines or clearing areas.

Fit or change a blade

Use suitable Essdee lino cutters. Loosen the aluminium collar without removing it fully, insert the blade and tighten the collar. Check the blade is secure before carving. The handle alone does not cut.

From handle to cut

With a suitable cutter you can carve lino, SoftCut and MasterCut. Choose a profile for your desired line and make a trial cut on scrap material first. Allow for a reversed print when drawing letters.

Working and storage

Secure the sheet and carve away from your hands and body, keeping your free hand behind the cutting edge. Make small, controlled cuts without excessive force. Store loose blades dry and protected. Pair the handle with five matching Essdee lino cutters or explore other materials for block printing.
