Clemes & Clemes Hand Cards are designed to combine comfort and function in a most necessary tool for the hand spinner. They're made with a maple turned handle that provides a comfortable grip for both small and large hands. The handle is tenoned into an alder wood back, either curved or flat, to ensure long life. The teeth are set in a strong yet flexible backing to provide many years of use. We regularly hear from customers who purchased their Clemes cards in the 1970's and are still using them on a regular basis.
