Vergez Blanchard Whip Knife with Wooden Handle

$60.00

Precision-crafted for basketmakers and leatherworkers, the Vergez Blanchard Whip Knife combines a razor-sharp blade with a comfortable wooden handle for reliable cutting, carving, and trimming.

Features

  • Blade: High-carbon steel blade heat-treated for edge retention and easy sharpening.

  • Handle: Smooth, turned wooden handle shaped for a secure, ergonomic grip during repeated use. Natural finish highlights the wood grain while providing a comfortable tactile surface.

  • Edge geometry: Acute bevel optimized for slicing willow rods, leather, cord, and small wood details without crushing or tearing fibers.

  • Balance: Well-balanced construction lets the blade and handle work together for precise control during detailed work.

  • Size: Compact, workshop-friendly dimensions ideal for basketry, whip making, leather trimming, and other craft tasks where nimble, accurate cuts are required.

  • Durability: Built for regular shop use; blade resists chipping when used appropriately and the handle withstands repeated handling.

Uses

  • Trimming and tapering willow rods and other weaving materials

  • Whip and cord making: clean, consistent cuts and detailed shaping

  • Leather and small woodworking trim work

  • General craft and repair tasks requiring a sharp, controllable knife

Care

  • Keep blade dry and lightly oiled to prevent rust on high-carbon steel.

  • Hone regularly and strop for best slicing performance.

  • Avoid cutting on very hard surfaces to maintain edge life.

  • Wipe handle clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; recondition wood with a small amount of mineral oil if it begins to dry.

Perfect for artisans who value a sharp, reliable tool that feels steady in hand, the Verges Blanchard Whip Knife with Wooden Handle is a practical addition to any basketry, leatherwork, or craft toolkit.
