  • An antique French leather Quarter moon knife manufactured by Blanchard of Paris. The knife features a steel blade with black wooden handle and brass ferrule. The blade has been inscribed with the Blanchard name.
    Blanchard Paris history:
    The history of Vergez Blanchard tools began in 1823 when Mr Louis René BLANCHARD, cutler by trade, opened his first workshop in Paris. It was at this time that the company began to develop its range of leatherworking tools. The watchword of the day was the search for quality and excellence.
    Vergez Blanchard, merging skills
    In 1910, Louis Hippolyte Simonin known as "Blanchard", bought the Vergez company and thus formed the Vergez Blanchard trademark, recognized by the best-known artisans and master craft-workers today.

You restored the components to their former glory (and perhaps better than honestly) and allowed the knife to show its original beauty without the influences of modernity. Another fantastic work.

    I'd say it's not a paring or edge skiving knife, it's more of a design for cutting straight lengths out of a hide,..such as belts or straps...hence the undercut section at the rear of the knife and the long almost straight cutting edge. Makes it easier to follow the marked out cutting line on the hide.
    Paring knives have a much narrower working edge, and skivers tend to be very round edged, either a semi circle or quarter circle in appearance.
    I'd be tempted to use a long flat stick when polishing 5he brass ferrule, keeps the fingers out of the way.
    Like the hammer rack idea and some of the other tool storage methods.
    Great video, as always!!

      @@FFD_Restorations Thank you for asking that question. There are a couple of elements of leatherwork in the process of bookbinding which have always eluded me: hand tooling the lettering on the spine. How do they ever get those letters straight & even?
      And the corners. My corners have never been very neat. I know that starts with accurate skiving, which is where I fall.
      Are they skills you could demonstrate? That would be great.

    • @FFD_Restorations
      @FFD_Restorations  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Of course! Thank you again for your thoughtful comment! I completely understand the challenges you're facing with hand tooling the lettering on the spine and achieving neat corners in bookbinding. It's a common struggle, and precision is indeed key.
      For hand tooling the lettering, a good starting point is ensuring a steady hand and consistent pressure on the tools​ like demonstrated in this video th-cam.com/video/yHJDey1Kfwg/w-d-xo.html. Creating a guide or template for the letters can help maintain even spacing. Additionally, practice on scrap pieces of leather can enhance your technique before working on the actual project.​ Here is a short video that can explain steps for tooling th-cam.com/video/v4_OydUZ7zc/w-d-xo.html​ and leather tooling
      As for achieving neat corners, you're right-​accurate skiving is crucial. Take your time with this step, ensuring uniform thickness for a clean and professional finish​ (th-cam.com/video/hF5tqcED9RM/w-d-xo.html). Using corner cutting jigs ​(th-cam.com/video/B0qDvON31OY/w-d-xo.html) or templates can also assist in achieving precise corners.​ Here is a short video where is showed how to fold the leather th-cam.com/video/EAFRbpnM5cw/w-d-xo.html,

    That knife originally had a hook on top, and was sharpened on the top edge as well. I believe those knives were designed for "cutting out." The hook point for plunging into a side of leather, for freehand cutting, and the relatively straight bottom edge for tracking along a scribed line when "straightening a side" so that the plough gauge can come into use. Most Saddlers use a round knife to straighten a side, but the straightish lower edge such as on your knife is the best one to follow a straight line. The English have their "Bridle Cutter's Knife", for the same purpose, ie straightening sides, but on a much larger scale than your knife.

    another great video and rescue of an old tool, great to see it back to working condition rather than being over restored and changed as so many do as I have said before, it will be a very useful addition to your growing tool collection, seems every video now you have some new things to use, love seeing what I can see that is new or not seen before, incidentally the old way to polish and smooth brass/copper is to use a water of Ayr stone, not that there is anything wrong with what you do now which works really well anyway, the results speak for themselves, great work again and now we wait to see what you are up to next

    • @FFD_Restorations

I'll definitely look into the water of Ayr stone method for polishing brass and copper - always eager to explore new techniques.
      By the way, I'm curious, do you have any favorite restoration methods or unique tools you enjoy working with? I'm always on the lookout for interesting ideas and tips from the community. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

      One aspect I do like about reassembling the items is the use of natural materials, such as pine sap for glue when bonding wood handles to metal tangs back on. Also like the use of all the different types of woods you have cut into small billets. Best thing overall is you try to honor the original design and material used in an item. Thank you for your response sir.

    I love everything about this. The use of all hand tools, the shop, the wash basin, the use of tree sap instead of epoxy, the outfit, the mug and the lack of obnoxious music and editing are amazing. How did you keep the heating of the blade from ruining the heat treat of the steel? Also, where in the world did you get that anvil and mini torch?

    • @FFD_Restorations
      @FFD_Restorations  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

Regarding the heating process, I take extra care to control the temperature and avoid affecting the steel's heat treat. It's a delicate balance, but precision is key. As for the anvil and mini torch, I sourced them locally here in Norway-always on the lookout for quality tools. Do you have any particular projects or techniques you're interested in exploring? I'd love to hear more about your own interests in this craft!
