I started collecting old carbon knives about four years ago. I've done some minor and some major restoration work on most of them. This has been a great learning process for me. So far, I haven't ruined any knives. Hoping to keep it that way. Just starting to dip my toe into the world of re-handling. I'll post more pics as that work starts to happen.

The second image is of what started out as a Dexter 12". This knife was in really rough shape when I got it. I've cleaned it up and re-shaped it into a 10" massif style. I plan to polish the blade some more and eventually re-handle it. I'd love to keep the original handle, but it has a crack.
