Thin, yet sturdy, these ribs are flexible enough to smooth slabs or shape pots. The hammering done to the surface is not only aesthetically pleasing, it hardens the brass to withstand gentle bending as it’s used. The texture will also allow a uniquely patterned patina to develop over time — which we think makes the tool even more special.
