Showcasing knives that we restored in-house
Take a look at our work in the images below – they demonstrate the transformation your knives undergo under our expert care. We’re proud to bring life back to your treasured blades, preserving their stories while enhancing their utility and aesthetics.
Antiques preservation for family heirlooms
Antique preservation is our priority when handling your family heirlooms. We understand the precious nature of this, treating each piece with the respect and care it deserves.
Preservation and restoration are two different processes. Preservation focuses on maintaining the current state of the item, preventing further degradation. On the other hand, restoration involves bringing the item back to (or as close to) its original condition, repairing any damages or signs of neglect.
We will help you decide which approach we should take with your knife.
“They restored a 30 year old knife for me and did an outstanding job. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of work and professionalism exhibited. Was a pleasure doing business with Lee. Highly recommend!” – Brian M.
Knife handle repair
A knife’s handle is not only crucial for its functionality but also a reflection of its character and history.
We take pride in our restoration skills and can repair handles, regrind blades, polish, etch, engrave, and even display knives that we restore.
We repair a variety of handle materials, from classic wood and bone to modern synthetics. Each handle is treated with care and precision, ensuring the balance and beauty of your blade is perfectly restored.
