Global Screwdriver

Here is a poor little Global that has seen some better days.




All it takes to repair this work is some time, technique and patience. These knives, even as severely damaged as this can be brought back from the dead. Hopefully the owner will use it in the kitchen instead of the workshop now.

This is very rewarding work. Once repaired, I started the re-profile work to get the micro-bevel back to a normal state and then I sharpened it with Shapton Glass Stones up to 16,000 grit.

Thanks for being here.

  1. Amazing repair job Peter! Hard to believe it's the same knife; in fact, if you hadn't done such a fabulous job on repairing one of mine, I might not have believed it. Fantastic!
