Jack Richeson - Incising Tool

Incising Tool

Refine clay edges and add surface texture with dual-ended precision

Carving fluid lines, scraping excess material from edges, or developing surface textures that catch glaze in interesting ways.

At 6 1/2 inches, the tool provides comfortable reach without unwieldy length. Jack Richeson designed this implement for studio potters and sculptors who appreciate straightforward functionality, sharp steel ends that maintain their edge through repeated use, balanced weight distribution that reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions. The needle stays rigid enough for controlled work yet fine enough for delicate operations. Keep this tool within reach during hand-building sessions; you'll find yourself using both ends repeatedly as projects progress from wet clay through greenware stages.
