hi,
here's a picture:
http://mudslingers.home.att.net/pin-tool.jpg
this is my absolute favorite tool for cutting
slabs (and general pin tool use).
i love this thing. got a set of them
ages ago from who knows where -- just can't
remember. they are very thin -- much thinner
than pottery pin tools and dental tools. is
it some kind of electrical tool?
they are SO much better than any blade made
for pottery use or otherwise (IMHO) -- and i've
tried a few. they are very strong and hold their
shape for as thin as they are. the set contained
different end shapes: 90 and 45 degree angles,
curved, straight, etc. i straightened
them all. (which is the reason for the slight
crookedness in the picture.)
the one drawback is that they are too easy
for me to lose! -- i just saved my last one
out of the garbage after frantically searching
for it for 20 minutes. i'd like to find some
more but have had no luck with my
internet searches. i hope someone can
identify it and maybe even point me in the
direction of where to get more!
thanks!

Dear Lauren:
That is not a pin tool. That is the very rare and almost extinct Zooming
Longsnoot (Zoomaticus Longnosicus Stainlessteelicus). These guys move so
fast they're hard to see with the naked eye; you got a really good shot of
this one in a dive! Good luck on finding others. Perhaps there is a
breeding pair near your studio!

Hi Lauren,
Dunno...might be a Dental probe but looks more like either a disection pick
or ( I forget their name, sorry) or a general all purpose probe, needle-Tool
for any number of hobbies or electronic's and so on.
Anyway, your image seems to show that there is some information stamped in a
small area on it - between the knurling and where the diameter reduces - see
if you can tell what it says. Likely it is a part number but it may also
have the name or initials of the Manufacturer, in which case, one could
probably locate them and see if they still make these Tools, or some
successors to it, and or what their name for it was.
Good luck...

Marta, my dear.=20
Those tools are only "painful" because of a lack of care in their
handling as an inept dentist (a sadist?) will do...much the same as
some pots (including some of my own) cause pain (to look at) because
of the inept handling on the part of the potter.
A good dentist can do a lot with a little if s/he causes no pain.
And so can a potter .
Just my 2=A2.

"Subject: can anyone identify this tool?"
Lauren -
That looks like a custom pin tool that was manufactured for several years by
someone who used to be active on Clayart, but I cannot remember the name. I
don't think the tools are being made any more. One of the other Clayart
regulars may remember who was making them.

egzactly!
wayne, dear, it can be really painful, believe me.
look at the end of it.
i have several old dentist's tools. i searched for them
because lauries on the foto looked just like one of mine.
guess what: i have the same! i got it from my old dentist,
who gave a bunch of them to me,
because they dont use those anymore.
i asked him how come?
he said: now we floss instead...
thats why today the dentists are not so scary anymore.

Vince was right. It was made by a potter that I met many years ago - it
came in two sizes really thin like yours and thicker. I love both! I am
trying to find their address and will get back to you off list.

all tool identifiers:
you folks are awesome! great job!
some dental tools were very close.
the dissection suggestion gave me indigestion and introspeciton
(not really, that just kinda rolled off my fingers... it is a
tad creepy, though... cool, but creepy. )
however, i have to say LP hit the nail on the head with the "zooming longsnoot".
i'd heard about these rare, reclusive tools that look for the first
nook, cranny, stray newspaper or plastic sheath to hide in if left out in
studio light too long. another little known fact which also contributes to their
troglodytic behavior (yes, i consulted the thesaursus on that one) is that
they are a tool version of the much sought-after and highly prized (at least in
some circles) 'clay slut' of the human variety. after they have been given
a good work-out and are nearly smothered in fine-particled earthen
riches, they retire (at near the speed of light) to their aphotic
secret lairs to wallow in it.
if anyone else has been swayed by my testimonial on these bodaciously
awesome tools, i am going to go with these dissection needles:
(thank you so much, andie!)

if the link doesn't work, go to

and search for product #: 62-7231
they are $2.35 each.
