Things have come up and I need to sell a couple knives. First is a Hiromoto Ginsanko steel 120mm petty. Has some sharpening/thinning scratches. Asking $50 Second is a Masamoto HC 240mm Gyuto. I personally replaced the handle with some nice old Redwood Burl (natural dried wood...

I bought a nice little old Gustav Emil Ern slicing knife that I plan to refurb, as I gain more confidence replacing handles. My problem is that it's got some typical recurve action in the profile near the bolster and a bit of a bird's beak on the tip. Is there a faster way to rough these out...

Pretty sweet videos I found from woodworking tool maker John Neeman (he has a chef knife too!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPgESIYOVGI&feature=plcp Production quality is excellent and I enjoyed it. Thought you guys might like it too.

So I was surfing through reddit and this came up. I'm pretty impressed but I wonder if we have any fruit carvers among us? Anyone got some cool pictures to share?

I have issues with getting a perfect joint along the tang. Then again the knives I've tried to rehandle so far are quite old and the tang isn't perfectly flat. Should I just put the tang to my Bester 500 and try to flatten it out? Should I just keep trying to sand the high spots? I don't...

So I wanted a nice scimeter and I couldn't afford a custom. Did some searching on the fleabay and I found a 12" carbon steel old Wusthof 153-12 model scimeter. I figured it had a shot at being pretty good since it was supposedly made before 1987 when most of the Germans switched over to...
