So I wanted to try some basic technique in a low risk environment before changing messing up some nicer or irreplaceable knives I have. Your criticism is welcome
I chose cheap cleavers for now becuase they are:
-cheap (!) - no guilt if I irreversibly screw it up
-relatively soft blades so easy to test different finish/polish levels
-large surface area
-pretty rough ootb finish - lots for me to do!
Before:
Ugly-ass original handle, some really soft porous wood with stamped aluminum ferrules
