| Fast Slab System: slice & roll For small to medium slabs, this is the fastest, most economical system yet devised. Just slice a slab from the top of your block of clay and then compress it to thickness with the roller. Perfect slabs are a breeze! Acu-Slicer - $38 |

| Copper Tile Cutter Functionally superior, beautifully made. The way tools should be! Designed for cutting tile from slabs of plastic clay, our copper tile cutters are constructed using 16 oz. copper sheet metal, allowing less displacement of the clay and less overall pressure while cutting. Copper Tile Cutters - $32 plus $.50/perimeter inch. |

| Slicer 7 The SL7 is a one handed slicer sized wide enough for cutting from a standard pug of clay. The positive tension bar holds the wire taut while giving the fingers a place to rest for excellent control. Whether making small slabs, portioning a pug of clay into smaller increments, or doing decorative faceting, this is a handy tool for any studio. Slicer 7 - $36 |
|
| Basic Bow Cutter For general cutting and portioning this heavy duty little bow cutter makes work go fast. With approximately an 8" cutting width and 6 1/2" depth, you can easily cut with one hand and move clay with the other. The handle is zinc finished and the wire is a heavy duty 7 ply stainless steel. Basic Bow Cutter - $15 |

| Carbide MultiTrim Tool After 2 years in the design stage, the Carbide MultiTrim Tool is here, a well balanced and versatile trimming knife for the professional potter. The solid tungsten carbide cutter is designed to offer a wide variety of trimming choices. Finding just the right cutting surface is a simple matter of rotating the tool to find the desired edge. There is no iron in this tool at all, so no rust. Carbide MultiTrim Tool - $30 |
|
| The Clay Hog Trimming Knife The Clay Hog is a trimming knife for the serious student or professional. It has both curving "loop" cutting surfaces and flat profiles which add a degree of precision. The cutters are made from hardened chrome-moly alloy steel and attached to long comfortable aluminium handles. The idea for this design derives from the Japanese kanna, which combines a corner (which acts like a loop tool) and a flat profile. The Clay Hog comes sharp for aggressive trimming in either a pointed version or one with a squared end. The Clay Hog Trimming Knife (specify pointed or square) $14 |
|
| Kanna - Japanese Style Trimming Tool The traditional choice of Japanese potters, the kanna, is a sharp, multi-sided trimming tool. It includes two corner sections that work much like the familiar "loop" tool, but also has a variety of flat cutting surfaces. The Japanese use these tools with relatively low rotational speeds and clay relatively soft, which gives the pot that decisively cut look. Kanna - $12 |
|
| Wiggly Wire Here is a cut off wire which makes a wonderfully decorative cut. It is sized at 15", so you won't be tempted to wrap excess wire around your fingers. Kinking is the main reason for failure in a wire, so we have tried to eliminate this tendancy by making the comfortable handle free to rotate without bending the wire - Available in straight too. Wiggly Wire - $5 |

| Hank's Wire Tool For faceting soft clay. A 6 1/2" wide clay slicer with removable wires.

| Ball End Tool This is a unique tool developed for stretching clay forms from the inside. A zinc finished handle culminates with 2 hard, high gloss plastic balls. Thrown, extruded, and handbuilt forms can be manipulated from within using the Ball End Tool to create wonderfully organic forms.
