Repair Work

[ChefKnivesToGo]

I got these in the mail today. Be gentle....



I'll start working on them this afternoon. I need to ask him if he wants me to clean up the blades before I start removing the chips.

[Altadan]

Aye!
That's a nice collection there. Gotta wonder what brought these knives so low

Question: can the KU finish be preserved in such a state?

I think it's possible but I don't know how to do it.

I should ask Steve Grosvenor how he does that packerizing finish on his blades.

I'll answer for him Mark, yes he wants you to clean them up.

[ChefKnivesToGo]

Here's one of them. I'll do a few more tomorrow.

Those look like they've seen better days. Ouch! I'm sure you'll get them all beautiful and sharp again in short order.

Mark, that's a great looking job you did on the nakiri. Someone's gonna be happy with your repairs and clean up

[gladius]

Mark, how did you do it?
Did you use any of the rust removers you sell <<?

[Altadan]

Looks like a nice Anryu Dammy, all bright and shiny. Looks good in that variant

[Jeff B]

What do you mean these aren't dishwasher safe?....

[Kalaeb]

I think you can just spray some Rust-Oleum black paint on them, lol.

Your giving them back? They need to be confiscated.

I used a scotchbrite disc on my bench grinder. After I cleaned it up I took out the chip, thinned it and sharpened it back up. The clean up took about 5 minutes per knife. The thinning took the longest amount of time at about 15 minutes on my Hoyo machine. Finished it on Shapton glass stones by hand up to 6K and then I stopped it. It shaved nicely when it was done.

Fortunately it was a beautiful, sunny summer day so I dragged my grinder outside and did the work in the sunshine and fresh air.

I love doing this kind of work. It’s so satisfying to bring a knife back to life.

Hahahahah my mind went to that Seinfeld episode where Pudy stole Jerry’s car because he wasn’t taking care of it properly.

[Bensbites]

Nice job.

[Carter]

Hurts to see this....again with the Sein....you need to be the Knife Nazi...."No More Knives For You"

[Thin Man]

That’s difficult to look at.

The thinning took the longest amount of time at about 15 minutes on my Hoyo machine.

What's so great about it? It was a show about nothing
