Additional information

This Japanese rattan-braided knife is a traditional tool for marquetry and woodworking, prized for its quality craftsmanship. The blade is made of two-layer, hand-forged "Blue Paper Steel," offering exceptional cutting performance thanks to its high carbon content.

The knife's shape features a unique right-hand bevel: this means the cutting edge is formed on only one side, allowing for a controlled and clean cut, particularly useful when precisely cutting veneers or fine marquetry. The opposite face is perfectly flat, making it easy to use along a ruler or guide for drawing lines or making precise linear cuts.

The handle is covered with braided rattan, which not only gives it a traditional aesthetic but also a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during long cutting or marquetry sessions.

Expertise

Gaignard Millon

Expertise forged through workshop experience: we compare, measure, and test each item on various types of wood. Selection guided by cut, ergonomics, and durability. A standard confirmed by professionals: École Boulle, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay. As enthusiasts, we select only the best tools.

Workshop check & sharpening ready to use

Every tool passes through our hands before shipping: visual inspection, geometry, flatness, and deburring. If necessary, we sharpen it on a Tormek system for a consistent angle, and a clean, durable edge. The result: a tool that cuts cleanly right out of the box, with no time wasted at the workbench. Tested on wood, wiped down, protected, you receive a tool ready to work.

Gaignard-Millon donates 1% of the VAT-inclusive price of each order to associations that introduce children to woodworking and support reintegration through manual trades (e.g., L’Outil en Main, apprenticeship workshops).
