A very useful and adaptable tool for trimming
Very comfort and easy to control. I particularly like it for trimming the feet on pots.

Sharp, easy to use, and long-lasting
I love the Mudtools Do All Tool! It is sharper than other trimming tools and has TONS of different angles you can trim with, for different effects. Other trim tools will dull very quickly when using heavy stonewares, but not this tool. I’ve been using it heavily for about two months now, and it is still the same sharpness as it came. It comes with two in a pack, I will update when I have to switch to the second one.

Great, useful tool!
Had been looking at one of these for a while. Changed my trimming game. Someone else mentioned this in a review and it’s very true – it takes some time (like any new trimming tool) to get the hang of but gets nice clean lines and can be used for a variety of needs.

Great tool

Takes some getting used to but no doubting the quality
It’s a sharp and rigid tool with a lot of variety. I’m still figuring it out and I imagine it will take a lot of practice to unlock its potential. Because it’s sharp and rigid, it will destroy anything soft. Don’t use it on leather-soft work. On fully leather-hard it really shines. The big flat side is prone to chattering so you have to hold the cutting side with both hands. But it’s really nice having so much variety in one tool. No need to stop the wheel and grab something else.

A great trimming tool
Mudtools is a great line of pottery tools from Michael Sherrill who is a potter himself. Based on some Asian designs it is dual sided for trimming various parts of a pot or bowl.Good quality and great hand feel. Expensive.

When I opened the package there was only 1 tool (the one on the bottom in the picture). The other was not in the package.
