Common questions
Is the blade stiff or flexible?
The manufacturer does not say.
Why did dark specks appear in my white glaze?
Check the blade. Rust carried into white slip or porcelain fires as iron speckle. Wipe the blade dry every session.
Can I cut bone-dry greenware or bisque?
No. Bone-dry clay chips and makes silica dust, and fired bisque is harder than the steel. Use it on clay between rolled-out and bone-dry.
What is fettling?
Dressing the mold seams off cast ware. It is the production job this knife is named for.
