Paroirs de sabotier - French clogmakers knives

These tools were part of a collection and are all in beautiful condition, with no rust at all. Some are almost unused. The man selling them wanted them to go to people who will use them.

They all need a good sharpening, and most need the handles replacing as many have woodworm and some are broken. They will normally be shipped with the handles removed (I can omit the handle completely if you want, and include photographs for reference for making replacements). All have ferrules.

I think the prices I am asking are fair. Yes you can get them cheaper on french internet sites, but I’ve never seen them in such good condition, and you’ll have difficulty getting them shipped!! This gives me a small profit for my time and hassle and covers my expenses (packaging and Paypal).

Shipping

Shipping will be by French Parcel post, which is the least expensive option I can find. Shipping prices are for tracked parcels.
For UK buyers, I can post in the UK which is marginally cheaper, but sadly only to a business address. AND you will have to wait till I get to the UK in December.
UK to UK   €20,   France to France  €15,   France to UK  €25,  France to USA  €55
  

Payment 

Let me know which you want and I will send you a Paypal invoice. I am anticipating something of a rush, so please pay promptly, otherwise I may sell the one you want to someone else! Be sure to let me have the email address you use for Paypal.

Sprung Bench ring:


I will include a diagram for a traditional sprung bench ring with each tool (see photos).  I am getting some of these made, but it will take a while. Any competent blacksmith will be able to make one of these.
