32-Piece Pottery Tool Set — Clay Sculpting Carving Knives, S

Kit Snapshot

The KitSnest 32-Piece Pottery Tool Set (KS-CLAY-0328) is a complete sculpting toolkit built for hobby ceramicists, polymer clay artists, miniature makers and art classrooms. Instead of the thin, stamped-metal tools that dominate the low end of this category, this set uses 3mm-gauge 304 stainless steel working ends set into lacquered beech handles, plus a food-grade silicone dotting/shaping pen with three interchangeable tip profiles. Everything ships inside a roll-up polyester tool wrap with 32 elasticated slots, which raises perceived value dramatically at a landed cost most sellers can still list under $16.99 retail.

Wholesale buyers choose this SKU because it is an evergreen, non-seasonal, non-consumable accessory — it sells 12 months a year, has almost no returns tied to "kit ran out of material," and pairs naturally with consumable products. Within our Clay & Sculpting Kits category, roughly 40% of buyers order it alongside our air-dry clay starter kits (KS-CLAY series), polymer clay bead-making sets, or silicone push-mold packs, creating an easy bundle or upsell. It also cross-sells into our resin craft kits and candle & soap making kits, where the same carving knives and ball stylus are used for surface detailing. Cartons are lightweight (0.29 kg per set), making it an efficient air-freight and FBA-replenishment item.

Wholesale & Bulk Pricing

Standard MOQ is 100 sets per handle colorway (natural beech, black-stained or blue-stained). Buyers wanting a mixed shipment can combine colorways at a 300-set total order. Prices are EXW Yiwu; FOB Ningbo adds approximately $0.18–$0.25 per set depending on volume.

OEM & custom packaging: at 500 sets we offer a printed insert card and custom OPP header at no tooling charge. At 1,000 sets we add a full-color retail box with your logo, barcode, FNSKU label and multilingual instruction leaflet for +$0.55 per set. Laser-engraved logos on the wooden handles start at 2,000 sets (+$0.30/set, one-time $120 setup). Custom tool selections — for example swapping the 3 ABS ribs for extra loop tools, or downsizing to a 24-piece classroom edition — are quoted at 3,000 sets.

Lead time: in-stock generic packaging ships in 5–7 working days. Custom-printed boxes run 15–20 working days after artwork approval; laser-engraved handle orders run 22–25 working days. We hold safety stock of roughly 4,000 sets year-round, but we recommend booking Q4 volume by mid-August as this SKU competes with our resin craft kits and DIY candle kits for factory line time.

• Educational distributors & school supply catalogs — durable enough for repeat classroom use; order in 30-set classroom packs at Tier 2 pricing
• Gift shops, museum stores and art supply retailers — the roll-up case gives it genuine shelf presence at a $15.99–$22.99 retail price point
• Pottery studios and maker spaces offering beginner workshops that include a take-home toolkit
• Event planners and craft party organizers running clay, resin or candle-decorating stations
• Private-label brands building a full sculpting range alongside KitSnest silicone mold sets and clay starter kits

Care & Safety Notes

• All silicone tips are food-grade and non-toxic; wooden handles use water-based lacquer, and metal parts are RoHS-compliant. EN71 and CE test reports are supplied free with orders of 500 sets or more.
• Contains sharp points and fine blades. Recommended for ages 8+ with adult supervision; not suitable for children under 3. Retail packaging carries the required choking-hazard and sharp-object warnings in EN, DE, FR and ES.
• Wipe tools clean with a damp cloth immediately after use and dry fully before rolling them up — prolonged contact with wet clay or slip will dull the wire loops and can spot the stainless ends. Do not soak the wooden handles or run any piece through a dishwasher.
• Store the rolled case flat in a dry environment below 60% humidity. For long-term warehouse storage, keep cartons off concrete floors and away from direct sun to prevent handle lacquer fading — the same storage guidance we issue for our wooden-component DIY kits.
