8R1

A 203 mm (8 in) double-ended ribbon tool, 8R1 in Kemper's range of seven. One end is an asymmetric rounded scoop with a wide flat top edge; the other a low peaked triangular blade with a long straight cutting edge. A cutting head at each end, so one tool covers two profiles.

8R1 is one of seven shapes in Kemper's eight-inch ribbon range, with a cutting head at each end. One end is an asymmetric rounded scoop with a wide flat top edge; the other a low peaked triangular blade with a long straight cutting edge. Kemper's ribbon tools take their name from the thin flat ribbon-like steel that forms the cutting head, which gives a sharp edge with extra strength in the direction of the cut. 203 mm (8 in) overall, which is the length that lets you reach into a hollowed form without your knuckles fouling the rim.
