\r
* This tool was invented by a Nailart Technician (her name is Helen), who was having trouble slicing the baked Fimo Nailart Canes thin enough for her nail designs.\r
\r

* Fimo nailart canes are tiny baked polymer clay canes that are sliced paper thin and added to nail art designs.\r
\r

\r
* Helens husband creates prototypes, so she designed this tool and he is now manufuring the units.\r
\r
* Helen made this one specifically for me in a color that she calls Punky Purple.\r
\r

\r
* This tool has a replaceable cutting blade mounted on a levered arm.\r
\r
* The Combo Polyslicer model comes with two interchangeable cradle pieces for holding different sizes of canes, both round and square.\r
