I guess this will be my last post about this subject but wanted to show a pic of the rounded handles. What was a lost set of knives have now become my favorite thanx to this site, so again a BIG THANK YOU! A few more coats of tung oil and done. Now I want a nice block or a way to display them. Best to all, Xeta

Thanx  I was about to either toss them or give them away before I found this thread. Now I'm really excited to buy some steak but first I'll do the handles. I did of course test them on a tomato. Will probably not go overboard on the handles but enough to lose the sharp corners. It was pretty exciting as the straight edges started appearing I tell ya. Funny how some little things can be so much fun.

Thanx to this thread I decided to grind down a set of knives I had. Bought them in a dollar store years ago and never used them because they pretty much just tore the meat apart. I used an electric sharpener chefs choice and it took forever. Did 5 swipes on each side, each knife one at a time over and over until they were done. Didn't want to over heat them. Still want to round the handles a bit but they are sharp! Could use some fine work but was a lot of fun. Should have taken pictures before I started but found a picture of how the blades looked before, on ebay.



Here are the straight edge.





Just wanted to share and thanx for the nudge to do it.
