Score, join, smooth, and refine clay with one versatile tool. The Xiem Professional Double-Ended Scoring & Joint Smoothing Tool XST09 combines two essential hand-building functions, with a scoring tool on one end and a joint-smoothing tool on the other.
Hand-forged from high-grade stainless steel, the XST09 is made as a solid tool without glued or assembled working parts. The bright rubber grip provides comfort and secure handling while also helping prevent the tool from rolling off the worktable—and makes it much easier to spot in a crowded ceramic studio.
Beyond scoring and smoothing clay joints, the XST09 can be used for cutting, carving, removing mold marks, and general hand-building, making it an exceptionally versatile addition to a pottery toolkit.

Score and Smooth with One Tool
Strong clay joins require preparation, and the XST09 keeps two useful steps conveniently together. Use the scoring end to prepare clay surfaces for joining, then flip the tool around to smooth and refine the joint after the pieces have been connected.
For hand-builders who are forever setting down one tool and immediately losing it beneath seventeen other tools, this is an objectively excellent arrangement.
