Hi there folks.
So over the years I've inherited a passel of carbon steel cooking knives from my grandmother (who's daddy was a butcher), and collected a handful of others from estate sales and antique shops. I love using these knives, they take a keener edge than stainless even if they need sharpening more frequently. Most of the knives I have are over 70 years old, some are older.
Now my lovely wife grew up in a house where everything went in the dishwasher and, bless her, the breaking of this habit has been difficult with a few casualties. I have about four knives which need to have new handles made due to being either fully immersed in water in the sink for hours, or from being washed in the dishwasher.
Do any of you fine folks have a shop to recommend that could help a brother out here?
Cheers,
-- Pat
