Description

This violin-maker’s knife made of Japanese steel is first and foremost a high-quality tool for all tasks related to violin-making. These are blades made by the famous Japanese master blacksmiths following the tradition of the great katanas. That is why they offer excellent sharpness, resilience and durability.

These blades are made of a combination of different qualities of hammered steel. In fact, it is a bit like a puff pastry. It is the same technique that gives them a great strength and robustness despite a very hard blade. By the way, the hardest part of this “sandwich” is in the middle. That is why all the blades have a central bevel.

Advantages of these knives

  • First of all, they are easy to sharpen as the mix of “soft” and “hard” steel allows you to work faster.
  • Furthermore, the hardness of the blade is really important, which makes it possible to achieve an unbelievable cut and to increase your precision on the most delicate jobs.
  • Secondly, they keep their sharpness over a very long period of time, even with intensive use.
  • Finally, they are also very beautiful and, if properly tended to, they will last for decades.

 

My review on using these blades

Personnaly, I’ve been using these blades for years in my workshop. After many researches and trials with European and American steels, I have found that the Japanese one was the best fit for me. I’ve lightly modified some blades so that they match my daily use. Moreover, it is possible to make a handle that fits your needs with a piece of wood.

Deliveries for strings and accessories that measure under 3 cm are made in registered mail format and are therefore sent by the French Post Office. This applies both to national and international deliveries. This is a simple and efficient way to have your order shipped to you directly.

I generally ship orders between 1 and 4 working days. However, in exceptional circumstances, such as when travelling, I may not be able to meet these deadlines. In this case I will inform you as soon as possible.
