Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Found this Dexter opening ingredient sacks in a feed mill. When the copper sulfate scum would build up the guy cleaned it up on a wire brush on a bench grinder so it's badly scratched. Edge was good and it's my favorite meat carving knife. Never can decide whether to polish the blade because I'm afraid I'll lose the Dexter stamp.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Interesting where you make your 'finds' isn't it. For a long time to me a knife was just a tool and what ever knife was handy when I needed one was the one I needed. Congrats on finding that one.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Finds like that are the best. I gave him a utility knife and a fifty pack of blades and left with the Dexter and a badly used Montgomery Wards.

They made very good and desirable cutlery. I have several of their knives. Page one.
In 1935 they merged with John Russell Company to form Russell-Harrington Company. Apparently, still in business.
Nice knife, Bill.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Really great items everyone!! Here’s a Keen Kutter knife and fork set… Still in the onion paper… I don’t think it was ever used… I have a few of the same empty boxes that I use for my life collection also

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Those Keen Kutter boxed silverware sets are sweet! I've been hoping to find a decent one at a reasonable price at auction.
Are there any maker marks on the pieces?

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
Just got this yesterday… Little Queen fixed blade… The very tip is broken ..I’m going to fix it up and I might use it as a paring knife or I might just keep it in my collection (probably collection) it looks like I was barely ever used I don’t know how the tip got broken

After a year of use, ABS Master Smith Jon Christensen, hand forged W2 tool steel(from Don Hanson III), clayless hamon with toxic green liners and 4500 year old bog oak from the Ukraine. Keep it sharp on a 9k stone.
Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
I've done a few of these blade blanks from Jantz. Their VG-10 blanks are pretty nice quality, this santoku blank runs over $100. I finished it with black micarta and ironwood.
I just picked up this smaller blank to work on for the wife.

Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
My latest Remington find:a carving set and an extra knife thrown in. Handles are faux stag(some kind of black ugly material)but there is just a hint of someone sharpening the blade(thankfully not with a power tool)and for three bucks I ain't complaining!

Tony Bose paring Zulu, handled by Rick Menefee. Used every day for 5 years, dosen't get more "honest" or "hard working" than that.
Re: Show Off Your Kitchen Knives!
After a year of everyday use, our nakiri looks as good as the day we received it. The ZFinite is an exceptional steel. Edge kept up on a 9k japanese stone.
