Vintage Knife Cleaning Polishing Refurbish Restoration Service
on July 27th, 2016 at 6:10 amKnife Restoration, Rust Removal on Knives
I help bring old rusty, tattered, painted, abused pocket knives back to life. See before and after pics below. No power tools used. All work done by hand.
If you have a family heirloom knife that is rotting away and want it restored and the rust & paint removed I can do that. I don’t have to take the staining and pitting off. I can remove the rust and paint only, and then oil.
Knives can be restored to a total polish (nice and shiny) or what I call "presentable finish" where the rust is removed BUT a patina is still present. Most knife collectors favor a partial restore – meaning presentable.
Please contact me (via email) for pricing, but generally I charge $25.00 per knife and you pay shipping.
