Stainless Steel 1 Rib

The Shape 1 Stainless Rib, also known as the SS1, is a traditional kidney-shaped rib, probably the most universally recognized pottery tool. It fits nicely in the hand and is useful for sculpting, hand-building, and throwing clay. The Shape 1 is not too big, not too small. It's just right. 

All of the Sherrill Mudtools stainless steel ribs are made of cutlery-grade stainless steel and have varying flexibility among the tool styles.

The Shape 1 Rib is also available in various polymers.
