Carving with this blade feels like biting into a fresh baked dessert. I was excited to try this and create some of my art that is usually two dimensional with ink and watercolor into clay. It was as beautiful and satisfying as I had hoped. I love the wooden handle, it is so smooth and sturdy and I know it will hold up through all the mess and washes. The pointed end is perfect for signing my work and sketching out the designs freehand.
I had such a great time with Nicholai at Diamond Core Tools. I really appreciated the demonstrations and explanations of the carving tools, stamps and extruders. Been busy making pots like crazy to practice carving.
Wanted to share this sweet, SIMPLE, little design I did. It’s just the start!! Thank you DCT!
The workshop with Nikolai was so informative as he went through almost every carving tool available. He demonstrated how they work and showed unique ways to use them combined with each other and with stamps. He also helped us hone our skills once we had time to try the tools ourselves. Super helpful and informative!
I love this product! I use it to sand my foot rings and smooth off rough bits if I’m using a gritty clay. Loved it so much I bought one for a friend who also loves it.
These tools are so lovely! They are so sharp and precise. I feel lucky to have them.
Best tools I have found for slip carving in 45 years as a sgraffito potter.
This is such a great tool. Used it once and couldn’t believe the quality of this item. I will be back for various carving tools again. Worth every penny
Recently had some items come out of the bisque with bad scumming on the black clay. Didnt known what I was going to do, then I found and ordered the mini circular diamond pads for a dremel. I was shocked at how well and fast it removed the scum. Totally worth it! I would have been hand sanding for hours what they removed in minutes! Excellent product! Thank you!!
I love these tools! I'm throwing out all of my Mudtools and upgrading my studio to professional Diamond Core!
These blades last a really long time carving porcelain and I’ve still gone through many of them. This blade isn’t just my favorite Diamond Core, it’s my favorite clay tool. Invaluable. A billion stars.
Enjoy using the new wooden ribs! Great tool to use and gets the job done! Success with first try!
What amazing tools. I have carpal tunnel & arthritis, which limit the amount of details I can do to my pottery, but with these tools I can continue doing my pottery with no issues with my hand. Hoping that slowly I can get more of these wonderful tools to make my work on pottery last for so many more years!!
This is going down as one of my favorite pottery purchases ever! I use speckled clay a lot and love the look of the clay unglazed but it’s so gritty. It took not even 10 seconds to smooth each piece with these sanding pads!!
My first diamondcore trimming tool! I love it! I have trimmed 30 items with it. It is sharp, easy to use, trim my pots and bowls super smooth. I love that one side is square and one side is rounded because I can switch it around and use each side depending on what I am doing. And it comes with an extra blade! Very good tool for the value!
I love this set of tools! They work so well for carving out small details.
