Bertie Rietveld | Rinkhals Vice

As a knifemaker, one is always looking for ways to clamp one’s work whilst polishing/filing/finishing. In the many years I have been making knives, I have gone through many vices, none of which really worked well - they were either unstable, moved when using them, or didn’t last, being made of diecast metal. I used my experience as a Mechanical engineer and knifemaker to engineer the Rinkhals to last a lifetime. I am so sure of the quality, that I am offering a lifetime warranty on the Rinkhals (if you use it as intended; obviously excluding abuse). Simply put; it will be the last vice you will buy - Bertie Rietveld.

The Rinkhals vise has the following features:

• Fully articulated: can clamp the workpiece in any position.
• Rock solid, and the jaws open to 22mm wide if you use the supplied leather pads.
• CNC machined from billet Aluminium and anodized black, the main thread has a hardened insert that will also last a lifetime.
• The base can be bolted to the workbench: mounted on the top of your workbench, or beneath it if you want to it lower. Or, can be turned around and clamped in your regular bench vice - if you choose to not mount it permanently.
• The bases are available in left handed configuration, or if you choose to mount it under the workbench, of course then you need a left-hand base, so the handle is on the right hand side
