Paper, Wax and Calligraphy Tools

Hand tools built for paper-based lettering and folding crafts and, grouped in alongside them for now, the one live wax-craft tool. Belongs here: the dip pen, used for calligraphy; the bone folder, used to score and crease paper cleanly for origami and bookbinding; and the candle mold, used to shape cast candles, folded into this group rather than shipped as its own singleton subcategory since it is the only wax-craft tool currently live. A future wave may split candle and soap-making tools into their own group once that holding grows.
