Withdrawn Carve Thanksgiving Turkey in Style

[Keith Sinclair]

I did this once before in 2015. Restored 4 sets. They sold quick. They carved turkey, one guy cut himself, questions about knives staining. This time will enclose on how to keep any rust returning, letting a patina develope. All the deep scratches sanded out, most from wailing away on a steel. Some pitting sanding reduces no rust left on blades. 3 simple steps for cleaning and storing knives after use. Follow simple rules and these knives won't rust at all

I only cherry pic knives with no wear on the blade. Try to get ones with patina ok, but little or no rust. Impossible until you sand to know true state of these over 120 year old real stag handle sets.

Royal Brand Cutlery nice cannon logo
Some pitting reduced by sanding.

Before

Backside got all small pitting out, front side pitting reduced on logo side of blade. Cut a bevel with 4k stone get a burr- then King hyper 1k put on a micobevel remove Burr. These blades are sharp, not taken to high level but ready to break down turkey

80.00 shipped USA.

Staghorn Cutlery

Like to only polish raised surface on sterling silver collars, leaving recessed area dark.

This is a nice set it had pitting one deep rust spot cannot sand it out took a tiny wheel on Dremel so little nick in blade.
This caving knife blade is large.

@Keith Sinclair any chance you came across more of these types of sets and were feeling like restoring some? I'd absolutely *love* to carve up our thanksgiving duck with something this fancy.

Yes a couple pristine sets never sold last year. Gave one set to nephew. Have two more both excellent condition for over 100 year old carbon blades. I'll pull them out of the drawer take pictures & post them on this thread thanks for heads up. Don't make hardly any profit after shipping both ways.
Just like restoring old carbons. Don't know if I'll be doing this anymore in the future. For years I've been carving turkey and other fowl, even taking skin off salmon slabs with the thin flexible blades.

There are lots of these types of sets on eBay if Keith doesn’t come through.
