Combine two hand-building essentials in one versatile ceramic tool with the Xiem Professional Double-Ended Needle & Scoring Tool XST04. A sharp needle on one end and scoring tool on the other make it easy to switch between precision work and preparing clay surfaces for joining.
The XST04 is hand-forged from high-grade stainless steel to create a solid, durable tool without glued or assembled working parts. Its bright rubber handle provides a comfortable, secure grip, makes the tool easy to spot on a busy worktable, and helps prevent it from rolling away.
In addition to needle work and scoring, the XST04 is useful for cutting, removing clay, and a variety of hand-building tasks, making it a practical multipurpose tool for pottery and ceramic sculpture.

Needle and Scoring Tools in One
Instead of switching between separate tools, the XST04 keeps a sharp pottery needle and scoring tool together in one handle. Use the needle for precision cutting and clay work, then flip the tool to quickly score surfaces when preparing pieces for joining.
It's one less loose tool to disappear mysteriously into the studio abyss five seconds after you set it down.
Made for Hand-Building
The XST04 is particularly useful for ceramic artists working with slabs, coils, sculptural forms, and other hand-built pieces. Its combination of precision needle work, scoring, cutting, and clay removal gives artists several frequently needed functions without cluttering the work surface with additional tools.
