Petty's Celebrated - shear steel butcher's knife
Another thrift shop find is this old butcher's knife, made by John Petty & Sons Ltd in Sheffield. The blade is most likely shear steel, and the plan is to make the knife at least functional again. https://i.ibb.co/Wz9Zs6F/GEDC4223.jpg https://i.ibb.co/TTSDV5k/GEDC4224.jpg https://i.ibb.co/N9F6Ctq/GE...

Re: 2 Swedish Air Force survival knives
While busy with finetuning the handle the knife slipped out of my rubber coated vise and fell from a measured hight of 1.10 meter on one of the concrete sidewalk tiles which form the floor on my balcony, and landed on the belly part of the edge. I did not try to catch the falling knife :-) To my sur...

Olivia Garden convex hair dresser shears
My nephews girlfriend is a hairdresser, and she asked me if i would try to sharpen her oldest pair of shears. Years ago she had gotten it as a gift from her teacher, all this time had never been sharpened, and as a result it was so blunt that she didn't use it anymore. Through Google i found that fo...

Re: J&R Dodge Juste Judicato - double shear steel carving knife
Engraving depicting the shearing of blistered steel to produce a higher quality steel - Sheffield. The shearers sat in swinging seats so that they could manoeuvre the bars being beaten under the hammers.

Re: J&R Dodge Juste Judicato - double shear steel carving knife
If you look closely at the blade surfaces (best to enlarge the picture to it's maximum) you can see that they are riddled with short black lines (actually voids), always running lengthwise along the blade. That is a sign of the layered structure of this steel type. Also: the surface of shear steel h...

J&R Dodge Juste Judicato - double shear steel carving knife
A recent thrift shop find, and bought for a fart and three marbles (dutch expression, meaning for next to nothing) From research i learned that J&R Dodge Sheffield didn't manufacture anything themselves, but instead bought high quality cutlery, razors and tools from well established Sheffield makers...

Re: 2 Swedish Air Force survival knives
Currently experimenting a bit with different grits of diamond paste on thin cardboard to see what gives both a nice blade finish as well as a good apex. Already found that only removing the burr is not enough to get the sharpest of edges on this steel, i have to continue stropping a bit to also get ...
