The large block features 27 depressions ranging from 1/16" to 1". The fully-ground alloy steel has a mirror-polished finish and is used to shape metals. The other side is also fully ground and can be used as a bench block.

"I prefer this block for two reasons: 1) it has a continuous series of depression sizes with very few gaps in-between so you can dome your disks as deeply as possible without getting stuck when the next size is missing like on some blocks; 2) having all the depressions on one side makes it nice to work without having to rotate the dapping block like you do when you use the "cube" or "dice" style blocks."
- Joe Silvera, Metalsmithing Teacher

It measures 7/8" x 21/2" x 51/8" and weighs 2 lbs. 9 oz. 27 depressions.
