Dougy Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 This blade has got to be around 80+ years old, the handle was missing and i had relegated it to the shed odds box collecting dust. With a piece of antler and a bone spacer its now got a new life spreading butter on my toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife thinks ,I am weird putting edges on faux bone handled butter knives, but they sharpen up really well as a lot of the canteen sets they came from were surgical stainless steel.

My parents were given a full set of this bone handled cutlery ( just plain yellow/white ) as a wedding present back in the 1950’s. I still have several of them left, and they often pop up in charity shops. Far too good to scrap. 👍Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well chuffed with it, much so i keep it on the work top so i can keep touching it LOL i could have used a piece of black buffalo horn spacer which i think could have finished it off just a bit better.
