A Japanese-inspired, reimagined trim tool that- as the name implies, we truly think "does it all". No more switching between dozens of different trimming tools! When Michael first visited Japan in the 1980s, he fell in love with the simplicity of the Japanese-style kanna trim tool. Subsequently, he spent years afterward altering and remaking his own trimming tools to better suit his various needs. These efforts eventually resulted in this elegant, versatile pottery tool. The sharpened, more familiar kanna spade shape provides an excellent, precise cutting edge, especially for working details around the foot of tea bowls, bowls, and plates. The curled end combines all of Michael's favorite loop tool shapes: it includes both a broad surface for smoothing and a tight shape for detail trimming. We hope you enjoy discovering all the possibilities that this tool can provide. Show more
