Nordic Edge blade vice, another specialist tool for knifemakers;
All stainless and aluminum with rectractable blade support for exact the right length.
- 3 bolts for secure clamping of the blade

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
