I have trouble believing that someone who specializes in ancient and medieval pottery could be thought of as "old fashioned!"😄 That was actually comforting to watch.
It's possible that a knife might have been used occasionally, but they are difficult to keep steady, and we do have looped turning tools from sites in Gaul.

Discovered and loved! As a student of archaeology thank you for posting!
Thanks Nadia.
Would they actually use a turning cutting tool like that in Roman times or perhaps rather some kind of knife?
