Not impressed, especially at the price point. I expected more. Review: MT-23 Micro Shallow-U Gouge - Of all my gouges, I think I use this one (the micro shallow-U MT-23) the most because I find it works great on the small curves in fine details (most of my work is small and on linocut blocks). Easy to maneuver. Love all my Flexcuts. ## Features - Rust Resistant ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B016DBHZES | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Blade Edge | V-Grind | | Blade Length | 1.5 Millimetres | | Blade Material | High Carbon Steel | | Blade Shape | U-Gouge | | Blade Type | U-Gouge | | Brand | FLEXCUT | | Brand Name | FLEXCUT | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 85 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00651646300230 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Carbon Fibre | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 0.5 Inches | | Item Shape | U-shaped | | Manufacturer | FLEXCUT | | Model Name | MT23 | | Model Number | MT23 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | MT23 | | Power Source | hand powered | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 0.2 cm | | Special Feature | Rust Resistant | | Special Features | Rust Resistant | | UPC | 651646300230 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Length:** 1.5 Millimetres - **Brand:** FLEXCUT - **Handle Material:** Carbon Fibre - **Special Feature:** Rust Resistant ## Images ![Micro Shallow U-Gouge, Razor Sharp High Carbon Cutting Blade, 1.5 mm for Miniature and Fine Detail Work (MT23) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Oqru6BLFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Meh...not worth the money *by J***F on 31 March 2022* Tool arrived dull.
