Blanchard Clicking Knife Or L’Indispensable Knife

[Trox]

Thank you, that is an option. But I am afraid it will take to long and be more expensive that the options I already have.

I can order the the small Blanchard sizes from 36,57 $ to 42,11 $ from Denmark (who is close to Norway where I am located). I see that CS Osborn sell them for 43,67 $ each regardless of size and Dixon's (from Abbey) cost from 26,64 to 28,30 $ each (for the small sizes).

The Danish option, Leaderiet.dk is the only European leather shop that sell tax free to private customers outside EU. In fact thats the only shop I know about that do this. We do have to pay that same amount in import tax and in most cases we pay that tax twice.

The Dixon are the cheapest ones, but they do not describe their sizes other than in numbers. Those numbers do not tell me much, other than they are getting bigger with increasing numbers. A friend that bought some new Dixon told me they was not as good as he had expected them to be. A bit "sloppy" made was his word, I would be very careful using this description when I have not seen them. The older Dixon tools I have are very good, and nothing are made as they use to 100 years ago. That goes for all the mayor leather tool manufacturers.

I guess I answered my own question, or maybe you know about some other options. The price differences are not that large on one tool, but buying several punches at once it will matter allot. Ovals for screw presses on the other hand, I have not seen many of them.

Hi Django,

yes, this French company offers exactly the same Blanchard knife, its stamped Vergez Blanchard. However, you have to place an minimum order at 100 Euro here too. Its priced at 23 Euro, the same price as if you order it direct from Blanchard. Therefor, It makes no difference if you order it here or directly from Vergez Blanchard.

Hi DavidL, I have not received it yet. According to the tracking system, it past true LA yesterday.

I just ordered the knife from Decocuir and it arrived promptly (they even included a small free gift) and can confirm you don't need a minimum order of 100 euro. I don't speak a word of French but I managed to navigate their site successfully
