Potters Hardwood Trim Knife Tool

Back in stock!

I’ve always wanted the wood tools that I’ve purchased to be more durable, especially the knife trimming tool. I also wanted them to be a little more ergonomically comfortable. So I decided to make my own wooden tools, using nice hardwood. I’ve also added some grooves in the right places for comfort! This particular hardwood tool is made from reclaimed woods, like cherry and or maple. These are extremely dense hardwoods, which are perfect for this type of trim tool. I have tested this one for months making sure the point doesn’t wear from touching the bat as I trim the excess clay from the side/bottom of the pot.

The flat side of the tool is perfect for making the gallery for a lid, or for making grooves in the soft clay.

Size: 3/4” w x approx. 7” L …wood is reclaimed, so sizes vary slightly.

My tools are finished with beeswax (from our very own bees) and a food grade mineral oil mixture. To extend the life of the tools it’s best not to leave them in your slurry bucket, and to wipe them clean after using.
