WTS Refurbished J.A. Henckels carbon chef’s knife

[Carl Kotte]

I want to sell this refurbished J.A. Henckels carbon Steel chef’s knife. I picked it up on eBay. It arrived in an acceptable condition

Refurbishing the knife I:

* thinned the blade.
* removed some steel at the heel and tip to restore cutting ability.
* sanded and oiled the handle.

In all sincerity, the knife still has its flaws:
* There is a slight bend to the tip.
* There is a some pitting (as seen in the pictures).
* There are traces of an old bend at the edge towards the middle of the blade.

This is a rough beauty and it could certainly be polished and tidied up. But I didn’t want to remove too much of the charm.

Specs:
Blade length: 205 mm
Total length: 335 mm
Heel height: 40
Taper, thickness at bolster/thickness at the tip: 4,5/0,6
Weight: 170 grams.

Price: 80$ shipped within the EU.
International 65$ plus shipping. (Again, I’ve never shipped anything outside EU. Any potential buyer would have to guide me a little). The item is shipped from Sweden.

Thank you for your interest!
Carl

Thank you Benuser! I agree (and I guess we have similar taste)!

Mega bump!

Have seen Carl's work — I bought the Friedrich Dick — and was amazed by the quality of it. Nicely reduced fingerguard, without altering the original design. Perfectly restored profile. I wasn't aware of the difference in comfort the level of smoothness of both blade and handle he afforded could make.

Thank you Bernard (@Benuser)! That’s very kind!

This knife is withdrawn. I’ll make an attempt to sell it locally. Thanks a lot for all kind words! Mods can close thread!

For future record, this one is sold and is going to a good KKF home.
