Sharp needle and spear blade tackle delicate incising and lace draping
Sharp steel meets thoughtful design in this dual-ended tool built specifically for delicate surface work. One end features a firmly set needle for fine incising lines and detail punctures; the other presents a spear-shaped blade engineered for controlled excising and precision cuts through clay. The smooth hardwood handle balances comfortably through extended sessions, while the tool's symmetry lets you flip between ends without breaking rhythm.
Beyond its primary incising duties, this tool handles lace draping with surprising finesse, the spear blade lifts and positions thin clay sections without tearing, while the needle end creates authentic textile texture. Clean-up work becomes more precise too; that sharp point removes excess material from tight corners and refines edges where broader tools can't reach. Kemper sets both ends firmly into the handle to eliminate wobble during detailed work.
The spear blade's shape matters here. Unlike generic craft knives, this particular geometry gives you control when working at shallow angles against leather-hard clay. Sculptors working in miniature scales and potters adding surface decoration both reach for this combination when detail work demands actual precision rather than approximate cuts.
