The 8 different head shapes offer specific functionalities that help achieve precise planes and angles.

- Angled square head
- Narrow high-edge square head
- Isosceles triangle head
- Double-ended pointed blade head
- Curved triangle head
- Wide curved hook head

Best for leather-hard clay: This tool set performs best when the clay is firm, similar to a block of cheese (not soft and sticky, and not dry and dusty). The clay will come off in beautiful, smooth ribbons.

How to check sharpness: If these steel blades become dull after prolonged use, you can gently sharpen them with fine-grit wet sandpaper to restore their original sharpness for cutting clay.
