The most used knife in the hse

[topknot]

Hi,

A couple of weeks ago i was give an old, lets say butter knife. The handle was shot to bits, so i cut off what was left of it. So now to put a new handle to it and give it new life.





So now we got a new butter knife.

Cheers

That is beautiful! It is always good to see new life given to old things.

Great use of recycling with a product of far superior quality than you can buy now a days

That looks great, I really like the copper ferule.

That's really neat in every sense of the word

Funny how despite the myriad of cooking knives available we still use, The Butter Knife, The Bread Knife, my Peeling knife, The Cheese Knife, on a daily basis.

The copper ferule is a bit of old pipe.

Thank you , the steel is good and it's got a bit of spring in it.

Toddy, how true are your words on the knives we use in the kitchen.

You've done a better a job of the original..

I find this amusing
That is not to say that your work is not superb as ever - it is - but in my house I have gone the other way...
In my early years of making knives I used to buy Lidl's kitchen knife sets and used the butchers carving knife as a source of blade steel to play with.
I tried making a bushcraft knife out of one but was not altogether happy with the result, so it went into the kitchen drawer - and is now my go too knife for everything from spreading butter, through meat and veg prep to cutting through the tough base crust of Sourdough bread....
Yup my most used knife in the house is a bushy!

Love it. The copper is a lovely touch.

It will be no use for battoning though!! Hehe
