Hand-made jacks, including bronze-bladed ones, from a glassblower who started blowing in 1989. Launched in 2024 after years of development, with encouragement from Ivan Smith and toolmaking mentorship from Jim Moore. The handles combine Dino Tedeschi and Ivan Smith designs and are built not to flex under a hard squeeze.
