Instinctive Report post Posted January 6, 2017 Time to upgrade form the Xacto. Any opinion on the Vergez Blanchard L'Indispensable Flat Knife? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alamgir Report post Posted January 10, 2017 First time posting here but I frequent the reddit leatherwork sub a fair bit. From what I understand the brass handle is fantastic but the stock blade itself leaves much to be desired in terms of quality and edge retention. There is a guy on reddit who makes replacement blades that everyone on reddit who has purchased has acknowledged as an excellent replacement. Just my 0.02 though, since I use a japanese style knife. Hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MY63 Report post Posted January 15, 2017 I have recently upgraded from the standard clicker knife to the Vergez Blanchard L'Indispensable Flat Knife I think it is great, The grinding was a little rough I prefer my knives to have a polished edge I believe it cuts better now it has been smoothed and polished it holds its edge very well.

thefanninator Report post Posted January 15, 2017 It's a fine knife to use. I've also heard of another replacement blade called 'Tina'. If you're sharpening skills are up to par you should be fine, me, I need to work on mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
