I am a home chef and Sommelier. I purchased some Vintage Japanes knives at an auction honestly because I thought they were very cool and needed a home that would take care of them. I am honesty trying to figure out what I have. I am posting picture of a Chef knife and another thinner knife. This is the condition I bought them in. Here are my questions.
1. What is the origin, maker, time, or any other info about the knives themselves?
2. How can i make it to where I can use them. They tend to rust if i use them on anything acidic. I oil before and after and do not use soap on them but how can I make them user friendly. Especially the Chef knife as it is in fairly ruff shape and honestly not very usable at all.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I honestly have very little in them but would like to be able to use them.
