This double-ended tool has a stainless steel curved blade on one end and a needle on the other. Widely used for the application of slip-soaked lace to greenware boxes, figurines and more, it can also be useful for many other kinds of intricate modeling work. The curved blade is ideal for pressing, smoothing and for scooping and carving out material. The needle can be used to trim, poke and etch fine designs in clay, or to make holes, marks and impressions.
