Am I the only one who thought the Pittsburgh marver was just a flat slab?

I was at a workshop in Seattle last year and saw an artist using the curved edge of their marver to shape a stem. I'd only ever used mine flat on the table for about five years. It completely changed how I handle basic pulls. Has anyone else found a simple tool they were using wrong for way too long?

Workshop in Seattle" made me think of that time I saw someone use a credit card to scrape a palette clean. I'd been using my thumbnail for years like a caveman.

That's actually a palette knife, not a credit card. They're super cheap at art stores.
