FP5 Fine Point U Tip Carving Tool

Our original FP5 tool has been one of our most popular carving tools, but the newly revamped FP5 Fine Point U Tip will take your sgraffito work to the next level. The 5 mm U-shaped tip, the same as our former PF5 tool, is ideal for sgraffito and for navigating small, difficult-to-reach places. An additional, soft hand grip will ease hand fatigue during intense carving sessions. With its sharp, replaceable blade; innovative design; and beautiful hardwood handle; this tool is far superior to other sgraffito wire tools.
