🎨 Art Advantage ART 6950: Explore Endless Creativity with 6 Wide Loop Crafting Review

received this today. It was bent into a U, tried to smooth the blade, now it's wavy. It's rigid and not flexible, so the description is a lie. It's (sort of) sharp on one side so it's a real knife but poorly finished. It's not stainless steel, so it will rust. I need it for my pottery class but I use it for gardening and will go to the store for another knife. Do yourself a favor and shop at an art store.

I was satisfied with this item the first time. On my second use, the blade slipped right out of the handle when I washed it, but I was able to put it back in very easily. Then, on my third use, the blade literally deformed when trying to cut through a soft plate vessel. That's how weak/thin is a metal blade. I expected it to be more durable for $5.80. No big losses. Although I wouldn't buy it again. In the future I will use a butter knife or a frosting knife.

I am new to pottery and bought this tool along with a few others to put together my 'starter' set. This blade is hard enough to cut through clay from soft to hard leather, but "soft" enough to flex under pressure. The blade will maintain a curve and will not return to a straight position if enough force is applied. I'm not sure if this is obvious to more experienced tool users, but as a beginner I've noticed that there's another clearing blade that doesn't read "soft" so I'm guessing the other…
