Fully restored knife service

[Derek Bergstrom]

Hello, Ive been hand sharpening knives for ten years and have enjoyed restoring some knives too. i can grind on a new point, scotch brite finishes, bead blasting (especially pocket clips) cleaning folders, sharpening serrations (different patterns cut differently). ive even flat ground a couple knives. I have a decent shop set up and love meeting people and especially sharpening knives. i cant post firm prices because it all depends on the job and time that goes into it, but usually i sharpen for around $5-10

a some spydie clips bead blasted and my endura is polished

an H1 salt i scotch brite and had to re shape and polish the serrations, cuts newspaper easily now

polished edge of my manix 2, whittles hair


an old buck i restored, scratched and battered

Purchased a Grayman Dua a few months ago. I love the beefy build of this knife (compared my small Sebenza) and made a few modifications to suit my ergos. Most of the mods were inspired by the Sebenza: 1) rounded the blade spine. 2)ground the blade belly and handle to create a bigger choil. 3) Ground the handle at the thumb stud to make blade deployment easier.

I'm very happy with the mods i made although having trouble with the finishing. The tooling in my shop is not refined enough for what i would consider a proper finish such as smoothing and polishing or coating. Looking for someone to do the remaining finish work . Additionally, wondering if you’re open to trying to give a hollow ground to the blade.


Thank you

Hi there! i enjoy doing scotch brite finishes and can do a mirror polish, as well as bead blasting. i have a method for hollow grinding that requires a second sander i cant afford at this time, but if you want me to take a look at it id love to, what finish did you have in find
