Trim cast greenware and carve clay with bendable or spring-tempered blades

These knives are used to trim the pour hole waste and to remove mold marks from cast greenware. They are also useful for many trimming, carving, and sculpting tasks. The soft steel blade may be bent as desired, while the hard-tempered blade has the spring-like feel of conventional knife blades. Blades on both knives are 4 1/2 in. long and are set in smooth wooden handles for a total length of 8 inches.
