Blade vice for hand sanding, v2

Blade Vice for Hand Sanding, v2

Nordic Edge blade vice, another specialist tool for knifemakers in new version launched late 2023;

All stainless and anodized alu with rectractable blade support for exactly the right length.

Probably the first blade vice in the world that adjusts to your blade length,

and holds securely enough for handle sculpting as well as hand sanding blades.

• 3 bolts for secure clamping of the blade
• Accepts up to 67 mm wide blades
• Blade support extends 220 mm for long blades
• Stainless steel; will not rust and steel dust will not stick to it
• Screw holes for attaching to a bench 
• Steel bar attachment for use in a bench vice

The blade vice is useful when hand sanding a blade:

• Either attach to a bench with a clamp, or use in a bench vice
• Adjust the blade support to length of the blade
• Clamp the ground blade tang in into the blade vice
• Sand one side to final grit before cleaning and covering with masking tape
• Turn blade over and repeat

The blade vice is useful when shaping and sanding a handle;

• Either attach to a bench with a clamp, or use in a bench vice
• push blade support all the way in or turn it around so it sticks out the back
• Clamp blade edge side against the single bolt (right) for the strongest grip (there are 3 bolts, use 2 bolts on the spine side and one on the edge side)
• Use the frame bolt to clamp the stainless steel tube in the position needed for shaping the handle or hand sand the handle

The only assembly required:

• The blade support comes as 3 pieces, easily assembled with the included bolts and allen key
• Use double-sided tape on top of the blade support and attach the strips or rubber, like in the photos
