Odd Things you find in a clients kitchen.

I had a visit to regrind a few knives in the Bistopthorpe area of York today. Lovely lady with a Golden Labrador puppy and the biggest fluffiest older Cat I’ve see for a while. It’s not for me to judge others, but I do feel comfortable with folk who are nice to animals, pets or Foxes they are cool, you know?

Anyway the lady produced these knives and said that her son had been asking for them to be sharpened for a while…. Now I’m not a knife snob, honestly I’m not. But anybody who has ever set foot in a commercial kitchen knows what these are at first sight. Half a set of Global Knives.

The story behind these seems to be that they were just left in a drawer and found when the lady moved in. They’ve clearly had a hard life and probably been treated in ways a Chef would kill you for, in the past. But good knives are good knives.

I can’t grind the tips back on, miracles take more that a bloke and a grinder. But I was able to restore the very damaged edges to shaver sharp condition. They grind superbly and were as much a pleasure to work with as I’m sure they will be to cut with – now!!!!

Oh man they are so sharp!!!!!
