Shipping is calculated by computer and is not always accurate. When in doubt, feel free to email me a list of the items you would like to order, and I'll get back to you with an accurate amount. Another option is to place the items you'd like in your cart, take a picture of your screen with the order, and email it to me. If you use the web page shipping algorithm and are overcharged, I'll certainly notify you and refund the difference.

traditional stencil carving knife
Traditional carving knives have curved blades that make it easier to cut several stencils at one time. The blade is sandwiched between two pieces of bamboo and must be sharpened periodically.
 
The blade wrapped with black silk,, shown above, was made by a master swordsmith and absolutely top quality, requiring appropriate handling. The green wrapped one is the more common traditional version and a bit more rugged.
 
X-acto® knives work quite well as a substitute for the traditional knives. The blades may be easily changed as they become dull and are fairly inexpensive. Be sure to get the kind with the rubberized grip and use #11 blades.
