Xiem Tools Trimming Tool (Double-Ended) for Pottery and Ceramics (XST17-10130)

In the product photo there should be some other common item for size reference (pencil, stack oh quartetrs...etc). The tool is surprisingly small. BUT it is amazingly sharp and versitile... thought it would be larger. A friend was going to buy a different shape until we looked at the tool I received.. Made in USA. Xiem... make a big one and you'll get 6 stars from me

It is so very small and would work if wheel is spinning counter clockwise. No real ablity to keep it stable in your hand, theeh shaft is just round and thin. with the pottery wheel spining clockwise, you cannot use the straigh blade as it is facing the wrong way.

Poor machining with uneven grinding on sharpened portions. Other than that, it is fine.
