🖌️ Enhance Artistry with Art Advantage Double Stylus Embossing Tool Review

received today. It was bent in a U shape. Tried to straighten the blade and 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 pleased with this item on my first use. On my second use, the blade slipped right out of the handle when washed, but I was able to put it back in very easily. Then, on my third use, the blade literally buckled as I tried to cut through the 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 several others to build 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 knife that doesn't have a "soft" designation, so I'm guessing…
