Vergez Blanchard : Adjustable Creaser (CORNETTE A JONC MANCHE BUIS)

This is a Vergez Blanchard adjustable creaser in french, CORNETTE A JONC MANCHE BUIS.

It is for right hand and handle is made of Boxwood.
Brass screw to adjust the gap.

This is for right hand so the screw is pointing out. 
which means It does not get in contact with the working object. 
Boxwood is hard dense wood which is excellent for tool handle. It is bright yellowish color. 
It has been used as a tool handle for many years in Europe.
Especially, Awl handle is made with Boxwood.


You can polish these or shape them differently.
Blanchard tool does not come fully finished. 
It is for users choice to how they finish.




You can use this tool heated up with alcohol lamp or just hand pressure. 

you can also thin down the line thickness with fileing. 

If you are just beginner, don't risk your tools.
only use fine sand paper(1200 grit above) to smooth out sharp area

if you are leather crafter and also tool collector as me.

please be careful buying Blanchard tool online,
as they come quiet unfinished, you might don't like them.







There are some alternatives to this tool.
You can use dividers to make lines also. 


here is the video how it is used
