KEMPER – PT325 – PRO-LINE TRIM TOOL 1 1/8″ TEARDROP

Kemper PRO-LINE tools

These are heavy duty tools, individually handcrafted from select hardwood handles. The steel blades are made from “knife quality” high harbon steel that has been heat treated and quenced in oil to give the blades maximum hardness and durability. Because high carbon steel takes and holds a much sharper edge than stainless, they last longer against even highly-grogged clays and plaster.

All of Kemper’s PRO-LINE tools are retained by brass ferrules and firmly set with industrial adhesive to protect against water and prevent them from coming loose. In addition each handle is immersed in an oil resin bath to seal the handle against water damage and prolong the life of the tools.

Since the cutting loops are made from high carbon steel which can rust, we recommend that the tools be kept clean and dry when not in use. A light coat of oil should be applied to both the blade and wood handle periodically for longevity.

Kemper uses the heaviest gauge steel suitable for each sized loop allowing the blades to be resharpened if necessary. Kemper recommends using a whetstone, either water or oil, to quickly restore your tool’s keen edge without damaging the tool.
