Essential Kinsusaiga Tool Set

These three items are the basic essential tools to get started in your new obsession of Kinusaiga. (Don't say you weren't warned.) The craft knife has a replaceable blade (they do last quite a while for this craft).

The curved scissors are advantageous in being able to trim fabric close to the surface of your board, as well as snipping corners and curved edges to release fabric tension for easier tucking. 

The seam ripper seems to be the preferred tool for tucking fabric into those grooves, and works quite well.
