Mudtools EDGY Rim Rib

A shaped polymer rib developed for rounding and burnishing edges.

Choose this when: Repeated rim finishing is a specific gap in your current tool kit.

Consider the tradeoff: The specialized outline is less of a first general-purpose choice than a simple kidney rib.

A tool for the edge itself

EDGY differs from a conventional kidney rib because its design is directed toward edge treatment. Mudtools developed it with input from GR Pottery. Consider it when you already have a satisfactory wall-smoothing tool but want a more deliberate way to work a rim or slab edge.

Match flexibility to the work

The manager-listed options here are green medium, yellow soft and pink ultra soft. Pick a flexibility intentionally rather than treating those colors as decoration. A very flexible edge and a firmer one will respond differently to the same hand movement, so practice on a spare piece before using it on a carefully finished form. Buying one suited to your routine is more useful than accumulating the full range without a task for each. Keep it identifiable among ordinary ribs so its edge-finishing role is easy to find mid-session.
