Vintage Steak Knife Project

I recently had the opportunity to sharpen 8 steak knives that are at least 60 years old and have never been sharpened beyond the factory.

Eight identical knives and for this project I chose the amazing Edge Pro Professional. I wanted precise angles and I needed to maintain the factory angle as much as possible on this small bladed knives, they are long but not very wide.

Here you can see the angle used, which for these knives makes perfect sense, the stones were right on target with this angle.

After 3 hours, the work was all done but the clean up. There is a copper bolster that needed some TLC.


Here are the knives all done and a happy customer got them back.


Cool eh.
