I ended up with 3 different small (kitchen/paring) vintage(40's-'50's?), unfinished, Solingen made/stamped blades. I would like to find someone to 'finish' them, with either basic wooden or micarta handles, and polish and sharpen the blades, so I can actually use them in my kitchen. Willing to pay a reasonable fee for decent quality results. Prefer Northern or Central IL or S. WI, and a F2F transaction, if at all possible. Please reply here on the forum or email me frippneno @ hotmail . com Thanks.
