{"product_id":"petal-carving-knives","title":"Petal Knives","description":"\u003cp\u003eMichael Sherrill and Mudtools proudly offer six beautiful carving blades in the \u003cstrong\u003eMudtools Signature Series\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Petal Knives are handcrafted in Michael’s studio from professional-grade carbon steel, copper, and sustainably sourced local hardwood. Mudtools strives to make tools that are functional, durable, and beautiful. We believe that the tool you hold in your hand should be as beautiful as the work you make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mudtools.myshopify.com\/products\/dragtool\"\u003eDragtool\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mudtools.myshopify.com\/products\/do-all-trim-tool\"\u003eDo•All\u003c\/a\u003e, the blades on the Petal Knife are made of sharpened carbon steel so that the edge slices through the clay rather than pushing through it. The spooned petal shape of the blade helps scoop into the clay rather than simply sheering off flat planes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarving and creating texture have become hallmarks of Michael’s work. Having a tool with just the right amount of curve is key. If you have ever visited Michael’s studio, you know he has hundreds of tools he has altered or invented. After years of hands-on experience, Michael has distilled what he believes are the most useful shapes from his toolbox. Ranging from almost flat to a tight curve, you’ll find a knife shape to fit your desired cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(NOTE: The Mudtools \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mudtools.sbs\/collections\/trimming-carving\/products\/mudtools-tool-roll\"\u003eTool Roll\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mudtools.sbs\/collections\/trimming-carving\/products\/fettling-knife\"\u003eFettling Knife\u003c\/a\u003e are sold separately or buy the whole Collection \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mudtools.sbs\/collections\/trimming-carving\/products\/signature-series-carving-knives-collection\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ceramicartsnetwork.org\/pottery-making-illustrated\/pottery-making-illustrated-article\/In-the-Studio-Not-the-Sharpest-Tool-in-the-Box\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePMI Sharpening Guide\u003c\/a\u003e by Michael Sherrill\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePETAL KNIFE #1: SKU:MT-12-03-1   UPC#:810135950305\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePETAL KNIFE #2: SKU:MT-12-03-2   UPC#:810135950312\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePETAL KNIFE #3: SKU:MT-12-03-3   UPC#:810135950329\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePETAL KNIFE #4: SKU:MT-12-03-4   UPC#:810135950336\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePETAL KNIFE #5: SKU:MT-12-03-5   UPC#:810135950343\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePETAL KNIFE #6: SKU:MT-12-03-6   UPC#:810135950350\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mudtools","offers":[{"title":"Blade 1","offer_id":40643264012,"sku":"MT-12-03-1","price":87.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blade 2","offer_id":40643264204,"sku":"MT-12-03-2","price":87.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blade 3","offer_id":40643264268,"sku":"MT-12-03-3","price":87.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blade 4","offer_id":40643264332,"sku":"MT-12-03-4","price":87.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blade 5","offer_id":40643264396,"sku":"MT-12-03-5","price":87.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blade 6","offer_id":40643264460,"sku":"MT-12-03-6","price":87.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Set 1-6","offer_id":40643264140,"sku":"MT-12-03-X6","price":520.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2037\/1707\/products\/Petal_Knives_Blades_1-6.jpg?v=1579630692","url":"https:\/\/mudtools.sbs\/en-ca\/products\/petal-carving-knives","provider":"Mudtools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
