Royal & Langnickel PS04 pottery knife 21 cm

Use the Royal & Langnickel PS04 pottery knife to trim edges, seams and small excess pieces of clay. Its narrow, tapered metal blade helps you follow a contour, while the wooden handle gives you a defined grip.

What you receive

• One PS04 knife, Soft Fettling Knife version.
• Overall tool length: 21 cm, including the wooden handle.

The 21 cm measurement is for the whole tool, not the blade alone.

When to choose this knife

Choose it for local cutting and tidying up modelled clay. The tip is useful for small recesses and the longer side for trimming an edge. Use a separate guide when you need a slab cut to a consistent measurement.

Work in small steps

Support your piece and try the cut on a scrap of the same clay first. Use light pressure and short strokes, removing a little material at a time. If the clay deforms, allow it to firm up slightly; if cutting requires force, stop and choose another suitable tool. Keep your free hand out of the cutting direction.

Cleaning and storage

Remove clay residue before it hardens. Wipe the blade clean and dry it; wipe the wooden handle without prolonged soaking. Store the knife with its point and cutting edge protected.
