Rebuilt Chef's Knife

I had someone ask if I could "Re-handle" an old chef knife. I said sure. When I received the knife, it needed a little more than just a re-handle, It needed a re-profile on the blade also. It took a little more than expected but think it turned out good. It feels real good in the hand and is sharp. The scales are a cocobolo resin wood. Stainless/brass loveless bolts and a brass center pin.

That looks great Butch!

As a caution to new makers though, let me point out that not everyone who might ask you to re-handle a knife will want the blade reconditioned. I have re-handled several 100 year old chef's knives where the object of the game was to maintain the original patina and make the handle look like it matched the blade. Always ask before you do anything beyond what was specifically asked for and that include even sharpening the blade. Don't assume anything when working on someone's favorite knife ...

Roger that Ray, I did ask before I did the profile and finishing as the tip was broke off and the blade back at the bolster had a hump in it. Thanks.

Thats cause you can't sharpen the dang thing back there. I was following your thread Dan as I was working on this knife
