Fish Addict wrote: I have a hankering for nostalgia. Has anyone reshaped and sharpened one of the old fashioned bone handled table knives as a fillet knife? Most that I've seen are SS and were manufactured in Sheffield England. The blades generally have a bit of flex which I like but have no idea whether they would keep an edge as a filleting style cutting knife. Hardness of the steel could be an issue? |
Fish Addict wrote: My query about sharpening / reshaping old knives was triggered by the pic below. This collection will be auctioned in about a week's time. There are some interesting shaped knives amongst them and some would not require reshaping. I'll check them out next week I think. Estimated auction selling price is given as $100 but I'm picking that could well be low. |
