The house
Asked across the bench
The questions that come to the bench most often, with the short answers.
Do I buy from you directly?
No. This is where you find the reference. The button carries you to our retail partner, and the sale is theirs.
The number on my old handle is not in this index. What now?
Lines get retired and renumbered across two centuries of production, and the catalogue here holds what our partner currently carries rather than everything ever ground. Write to us with the number and a photograph and we will tell you what the current equivalent is, or that there is not one.
How do I know which blade width to take?
Measure the slot rather than the screw head. The blade should fill the slot end to end and sit flat on its bottom. The job sheet lets you filter by tip width in three steps, and every page that has a measured width prints it in millimetres.
What separates 6767 from 6767-F?
They belong to one line. The base number is usually the whole tool and the suffix is a fitting, a spare head or a variant of the same pattern. Anything sharing a line is shown together on each of its pages, so you can see the family before you order a part of it.
Are the prices on this site current?
They are the last figure our retail partner showed, and figures move. The one on the partner page at the moment you buy is the real one. Treat what you read here as a sense of scale.
Do you sell blades and tips on their own?
Yes, and they carry their own numbers. There are 36 spares and replacement points in this catalogue. Handles and bodies are meant to stay on your rack while the working end is renewed.
Is a listed tool actually in stock?
The partner page answers that, and it is the only place that can. This catalogue is rebuilt periodically and lists what was available when it was last put together.
Can I come and see the workshop?
There is no counter here and nothing laid out to handle. It is a place where steel is cut and ground. Write instead, and ask whatever you would have asked at the door.
