If any of the blades on your Bird of Paradise Pottery Multi-Tool or folding blade tools become bent or broken, there's no need to deal with that loss or throw a tool away. Simply replace the broken blade with an economical, replacement insert.
Note: While it is possible to replace your folding-tool blade without our Blade Jig, it is highly recommended to help align and secure the new blade to your handle. Add the jig to your cart as a separate item.

HOW TO REPLACE YOUR POTTERY MULTI-TOOL PRECISION BLADE

- Insert the barrel through the mini-wrench
- Use barrel to align wrench and precision blade with hole on multi-tool handle
- Twist thumb screw into barrel end to tighten all parts
HOW TO REPLACE YOUR FOLDING TOOL BLADE WITH THE JIG
- Unscrew the thumb screw on your single tool to remove the screw and bolt.
- Gently remove the blade and washers on either side of it.
- Hold the jig with the text facing you (diamond cutout on the right side, called Side 1).
- Place the blade into the top slot, with the small stop tab on the right.
- From the left, slide the open edge of the wood handle around the jig’s top channel, engraved side facing you, upside down from you (nose down).
- Insert the two washers on either side of the blade and between the blade and handle.
- Remove one of the alignment pegs from their storage space and push the peg from Side 1 half way through the circular opening of all components in the jig’s top channel.
- Using the end of the rivet barrel, push the peg from Side 1 completely through the hole, thus pushing the barrel through all the components.
- From Side 2, twist the thumb screw into barrel end, securing all pieces together.
- Lift entire tool upward off the jig. Rivet barrel should be on side of tool with engraving, thumb screw on side with no engraving. Tighten thumb screw as needed.
