Made with stainless steel specifically selected to be non-flexing while in use and light enough to be comfortable during long throwing sessions. Edges are softened to ensure no risk of cutting your hands while you're working and completed with a beautiful burnished finish on both faces. In this collection you'll find familiar essential shapes as well as profiles to help you create consistent blank canvases for altering, carving, and decorating. Caring for metal tools is extremely easy, simply wash and dry after use. Dimensions: 2.74" x 2.68" We recommend starting with 1/2 lb of clay then adjusting to your preferences. For the best experience, use with an MDF bat. Made from corrosion resistant stainless steel. This rib is not flexible and non-magnetic. That being said, avoid using excessive force to intentionally bend the tool. Our metal tools are cut, processed, and finished with great care in Spartanburg, SC.
