Blum Tool Co. was started because of my experiences using and collecting antique tools and my work experiences using tools and thinking of ways to improve them. I was especially influenced by working on the job site with other tradesmen and seeing them use tools (block planes especially) that were extremely dull. Often they would see my plane and ask me to sharpen theirs. All of our products have been developed with this concern for practicality and ease of use in mind.
