When Michael visited potters in Japan he observed that it was common for them to pull, rather than push, their carving tools through the clay.The dragging motion allowed for less f riction and a fluid cut. For years Michael made a variety of Japanese-style carving tools for his own use and he's spent A LOT of time carving on clay.Made of high carbon steel and tempered to be very hard, the Dragtool is designed to grace the hand and make a fluted mark in the clay. One end cuts a wider flute than the other.Whether you draw a long fluted line or chip away at the clay, the texture looks beautiful under a celadon or any glaze that breaks on the surface. Show more
