Pointed face
A pointed face is a stone cutting tool that was mainly used in the Middle Ages . Nowadays (2012) it is no longer in use. The pointed surface was carried out with both hands. The tool tip was used for leveling rough surfaces and the smooth cutting edge for further smoothing. The tool combines the function of a bicorn or pointed iron and a smooth surface . Its use can be changed quickly by turning it in your hands.
It is a tool for working soft rock .
A processing difference in the case of sharpened stone surfaces due to a bicorn or a pointed end of the pointed surface cannot be determined on finished stone . This also applies to the smooth surface and straight edge of the pointed surface on flattened or hewn stone surfaces.
