Bringing a Blanchard head knife back to life

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,I recently picked up a vintage Blanchard knife for really cheap (14 euros). The main reason it was cheap was that some barbarian who shouldn't even be allowed to touch a butter knife, even less a >100 year old beauty such as this, tried to redo the edge with a grinder of some sort. Anyhow,I spent many hours redoing the edge and it now cuts like a beauty. The handle is very heavy and the balance is quite different from my modern Vergez Blanchard.
