Have 2 probably low quality kitchen knives, chipped, over sharpened belly I guess you’d say. Scales are now raw wood and one is even separated/broken.
Here’s the thing, my fiancé at the time and I barely bought our first house, finances, young, the usual. There was a very elderly original owner couple and the wife really didn’t want to sell. We paid full value and she passed before the closing. Her husband was extremely grandfatherly I’ll say. He had a new stackable washer/dryer installed for us plus a few other things along with a note wishing us as many years of happiness as he and his wife had. They’d lived there since they had it built in the early 50’s, about 58 years give or take.
One thing I found in the old kitchen. Two very used long kitchen knives. We’ve been married 15 ish years now and together 20ish, I’m not great with dates lol. The knives have served us well and I’ve cleaned over 100 whitetail with them plus usual kitchen chores. A few years ago she wanted a Wustohf set so Santa brought it. I still use the old knives.
I’m sure there’s not much that can be done with the blades short of having them forged into a Damascus billet. I’ve been thinking of just rescaling them and maybe an experienced hand grinding them.
Thought I’d post here for some ideas or alternatives. I like things that patina and change as they age, copper, carbon steel, a few other materials. It would be nice to get a copper liner or something that ages as we do.
