Kemper - Toggle Clay Cutter Tool

Toggle Clay Cutter Tool

Cut clay cleanly from wheel or block with durable braided cord

Braided nylon cord cuts through wet clay without dragging or snagging, maintaining tension through hundreds of uses. Kemper constructs this wire tool with high-tensile-strength cord that stays taut between hardwood toggle handles, delivering clean slices whether you're sectioning a 25-pound block or releasing thrown vessels from the wheel head. The toggles provide secure grip when your hands are slick with slip, and their ergonomic design distributes cutting force evenly across your palm during repetitive studio tasks.

This cutter excels at operations where precision matters: removing pots cleanly without distorting rims, creating uniform slab thicknesses, or dividing clay bodies for wedging. The braided construction resists fraying better than twisted wire alternatives, while the nylon material won't rust or corrode from constant moisture exposure. Toggle handles hang conveniently from hooks or pegboards between uses, keeping the cord elevated and ready.

Studio potters appreciate tools that perform consistently across varied clay bodies and moisture levels. This cutter handles stoneware, porcelain, and earthenware with equal effectiveness, maintaining its cutting efficiency from leather-hard to plastic states. The combination of durable materials and straightforward design means one tool serves multiple functions throughout your throwing and hand-building processes.
