These unusual instruments (the form of bits alike with cat paw) — are the exact replicas of knives used by the flowermaking professionals in China and Japan. These two countries developed this art to incredible heights of tediousity, beauty and quality.
Working with this Asian instruments differs from working with European ones. With this tools you can make so smooth and plastic lines on the fabric one could mistake the outcome it with real flowers. The kit works perfectly on medium-hard cushion by making on the fabric motions towards and very rarely away from yourself.

2, 3 - Triple and four-knives - specialized tools designed to goffer the surface, as well as for the manufacture of chrysanthemums, roses and other multi-petal flowers. Made with this tool chrysanthemums come out in a ball shape. Depending on what width petals you want, one or another knife should be used. They make beautiful «ribs» on petals for large flowers, such as irises and tulips, goffer inner surfaces of the petals of poppies, irises, canna lilies, orchids, gladioluses and others.
4,5,6 - narrow, medium and wide bits - analog of wide bit of core set, but different width of working sections makes them more suitable for flower making. They are used to dimension your work: leaves of roses, orchids, poppies, peonies and other flowers will look natural. Very useful in creating the actual leaf shape as well as on the petal edges, making it more dimensional and perfectly goffer.
