    Thrift store find

    Hey all, Thought I'd share this old Elinox Rostfei 7.5" Chef knife I found at thrift store for $2 bucks. https://goo.gl/photos/A2QhJdt3DfE2fGdy5 Pins were pretty weathered but I got most of the green out, handle needs some sanding still. From what I can gather from google it's from 1957...

    How old are you guys?

    33. Totally one of those guys that spends money on knives that won't ever be used for work. I used spend my youth in a kitchen and in front of a butcher block to pay the bills but these days I just like sharp pointy things :)

Wood sayas where my preferred cover, and I was going to make some but lack a workshop (I have all the tools, they sit in my dad's garage, far from where I live). Next was thinking of buying some plastic...

    Help identifying 70's Japanese Knife

    Yeah it's pretty light. Here's a pic next to my ShiBaZi, it's quite a bit smaller and lighter. Weighed them both, the 3 Rams comes in at 7.5oz and the ShiBaZi is 11.6oz. https://goo.gl/photos/XGXMAtye1faT6utq8 Looking forward to getting an edge on it and start cutting things up.

    Help identifying 70's Japanese Knife

    Thanks for the heads up. Guess it'll go back to the bin where it came from. On the plus side I did come across these 2 when I was donating my junk at the thrift store, payed $4 for both. https://goo.gl/photos/o5bZ2FDy7Rwg1Zfe7 The Mac is in really rough condition, but I think I can bring...

It has some pretty good weight to it, very little flex on it when pressed...

    Grandma's knife

    Thanks all. I really love the fact that I'm constantly reminder of her every time I pick up the blade. I agree that knives can be passed down through generations if they are maintained properly. My girlfriend got me a Zwilling SS Kramer 8" chef for Christmas and I told her that this was the...

    Grandma's knife

    Hey all, When my grandma passed away a couple of years ago they were going through her stuff and giving\getting rid of everything. The only thing I was interested in was her knives, most weren't the greatest but she did have 1 Henckle 8" chef knife. It was really banged up, tip was bent...

    Hi from Vancouver

    Thanks for the welcome all. Here's some pics on the fix to the Mac knife I made. I started out by drawing a new tip profile with a sharpie then clamped it down and used a rotary tool with a cutting disc to roughly cut it out. I then moved to my rough stones and grinded out the profile, then...

    Hi from Vancouver

    Hello all, Been lurking the forums so decided to say Hi. I've been into knifes since my uncle gifted me my first pocket knife when I was 12 years old. Still have the knife somewhere, very little blade left on it as I used to think the power knife sharpener my parents kept in the kitchen...
