Lino Cutting Hand Guard Features

Heavy-Duty Moulded Protection: Robust plastic wall construction provides a rigid, physical barrier that safely deflects sharp lino cutters and gouges.

Integrated Right-Angle Groove: Base cut-out fits snugly against the corners of standard lino tiles, pinning the block down firmly to stop shifting.

100% Ambidextrous Layout: Thoughtfully shaped to support a natural grip, providing identical safety control for left and right-handed students.

Builds Student Confidence: Eliminates the fear of blade slips, allowing young learners to focus fully on carving smooth, high-definition lines.

Classroom-Ready Durability: The compact, stackable plastic structure resists cracking if dropped and can be washed clean instantly under a running tap.
