What is the tungsten carbide trim tool made from?
The loop of this trim tool is made from sintered tungsten carbide - a very dense and abrasion resistant material. It begins life as a powdered metal, which is first compressed into a mould. Once released from the mould, they are sintered in a modified atmosphere high temperature auto-clave which bonds the metal together. This hard wearing material doesn't wear away or lose an edge like a typical stainless steel carving tool. 

The handle is made from aerospace grade aluminium and encased in non-slip shrink fit grip material that provides secure and confident handling.

Overall, this carefully designed handmade piece is a long lasting, reliable, superior trimming tool that will be a pleasure to use.

Why are these more expensive than stainless steel or aluminium trim tools?
The research and development in designing this tool took careful deliberation. We work with local and overseas suppliers who could consistently provide quality parts, and we assemble these parts ourselves, by hand, individually, to ensure a high quality, reliable product. These tools were developed for accuracy and longevity, offering the potter a superior trimming experience. The aluminium handle ensures the tool has a secure and sturdy feel, providing the potter with great control and balance.
