I have an old N Schreiber and Sons 10" Chef knife that has been sitting in a drawer for years. The handle is uttlerly shot on it and the tip has about 3/4 of an inch broken off of it.
I've seen experienced guys grind old knives down in to a new shape before online, but never attempted it myself and don't really have any fancy tools except for a bench grinder and some sharpening stones.
My ideal would be to take a few inches off of it and make it in to a bunka knife, somewhere in the 165-175mm range. I think there is enough usable steel there to work with.
Any advice you guys could give me would be much appreciated.
I'm thinking that I might just pattern it out and then go for it one day in the near future. I'll probably remove the old handle and maybe even grind the tang down to have a Wa handle fitted to it. Might as well. Who on this forum does cheap handles? At this point in time, I don't have the resources to do a handle myself.
