Description of ๐Ÿ”ช Korean Atelier Detailing and Carving Tools by Xiem Tools for Ceramics, Clay, and Pottery (Round Hook Blade)

Xiem Korean Atelier detail carving tools are re-engineered to provide artists the best intricate carving, cutting, incising clay tools of the East with the highest quality material and comfort of the West. They are excellent for doing sgraffito and mishima clay works. Each tool is made of high-carbon steel, tempered, and Titanium-fused which is 3x times harder than steel to retain the superior cutting edge with no burs and rust resistance. The faceted handle design will fit your hand comfortably and resist rolling off the table while the rubber sleeve provides an excellent grip. Available in an individual tool and a complete set of 4 pieces (flat, angled, and round shape, and a knife). Length 6โ€(155 mm).

Good Fine Tools for Clay

They don't seem to have a 4 piece set on Amazon so I bought it directly from the Xiem website. It includes all the tools in this list. I have used them all and they are wonderful and pre-sharpened. They are small and perfect for fine details in my polymer clay sculptures. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • These are great for working with sgraffito and misima clay.
Cons
  • Expensive

Great tool for many fine pottery jobs. Very sharp and thin.

I use this tool for various finishing pieces in pottery. The blade's curved shape, which is quite strong and sharp, is excellent for tasks from carving designs to touching up dried glaze before firing. I am very pleased with the versatility of this tool.

Pros
  • Available as a single tool and as a complete set of 4 pieces (flat, angled and round plus a knife). Length 6 inches (155mm).
Cons
  • I will add later

Beautifully crafted and practical design

These are the most beautiful and practical clay carving tools I have ever seen. I used to work with a blade and loops of wire to carve designs in and through the surface of mugs and vases, but after watching a video of an artist carving a clay surface with a Korean studio tool, I found this. The grip is comfortable, angular, like a pencil, making it easy to control alignment. The blade is hard and razor sharp. I think the price is very reasonable, especially for a pack of 4 (yes, you reallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Each tool is made of carbon steel, hardened and alloyed with titanium, which is three times stronger than steel, to ensure excellent burr-free cutting edge and rust resistance.
Cons
  • Available in black only.
