8R5

A 203 mm (8 in) double-ended ribbon tool, 8R5 in Kemper's range of seven. One end is a small narrow rounded loop; the other a small flat-topped trapezoid. Both heads are noticeably smaller than the rest of the range. A cutting head at each end, so one tool covers two profiles.

8R5 is one of seven shapes in Kemper's eight-inch ribbon range, with a cutting head at each end. One end is a small narrow rounded loop; the other a small flat-topped trapezoid. Both heads are noticeably smaller than the rest of the range. 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.
