Will you just admire the fish meats carving set. 🤣
A gift from Jill, cleaned up, thinned the blade and sharpened.

Have a look at this wonderful tiny knife, the blade is around 2" long, with a stacked leather handle.
The balancing act is cleaning up the blade and handle, whilst leaving it's history and character.

I'm often asked "Are these too rusty to sort out?"
And my answer most of the time is "Bring them along, and we can find out, it's very rarely too far gone."

I purchased these tools a few months ago, they needed a bit of work to make them pretty and sharp.
Had a quiet morning last weekend so I cleaned and sharpened them up.

As mentioned in my last post, I also hand carve wooden spoons.
When you see me at a market feel free to have a look, I usually have a board out with some for your perusal, usually a combination of cooking and eating spoons.

On Saturday a lovely customer dropped this in to me, asking if I could find it a good home.
The mechanism works great, I've given it a quick clean and dressed the wheel.
If you're looking to set new bevels on chisels or other tools this would work great.

A customer brought this cute NAAFI knife, it was her grandfathers who served in the RAF during WW2.
I left the scratches on the blade, as it's part of its history, plus I didn't want to risk losing the text.

Lovely day yesterday at Windmill Community Gardens Margate, with Thomas Steven and I teaching this delightful group.

These Global knives show the before and after of cutting edges.
They both looked sharp when I took them in, but look closely at the before, you can see a burr, micro chips and an uneven edge of the blade, where the after is perfectly apexed, and an even cutting edge throughout. #Sharpening #EastKent
Christmas can be such a busy time, why not make your food preparation quicker and easier, and get your knives sharpened.

We'd also welcome suggestions for further venues in or near #Thanet / #EastKent - our initial plans for performances are at hoodening.org.uk/hoodening-sc... but we've space for more, in case you know of any pubs or private parties who'd like a visit from a centuries-old Hooden Horse. (3/3)
I ground out a knife blade, and today finished it off.
Not sure about it's temper, just wanted to see if it would work.
