Among the tools used in seal carving, the "shaving knife" plays a very important role. This is a specialized carving knife used mainly to smooth the bottom and sides of the seal material.
Uses: Used to flatten the back (bottom) of the stamp. This makes the stamp material more stable and prevents it from shaking when stamping.
•It is also useful for removing excess material and shaping corners.
•Use it as a finishing touch after carving to enhance the balance and beauty of the overall seal.
Features: Compared to a regular seal knife, the biggest difference is that it is a tool for "shaping" rather than carving.
•An essential tool for finishing touches for beginners and advanced users alike.
