Even the most expensive and high-quality kitchen, folding or hunting knives tend to lose their sharpness after intensive use.
If you do not have the opportunity to sharpen knives yourself or are not confident that you will cope with the process of correct and accurate sharpening, we will always be happy to help you in this important and necessary issue.

The work is performed on modern professional mechanical(!) sharpening systems With high accuracy- up to tenths of a degree. When sharpening we use water and oil abrasive stones from silicon carbide and aluminum oxide, various finishing and polishing pastes, leather, natural stones such as Arkansas, jasper, etc.
Unlike electric sharpeners, mechanical (manual) sharpening avoids overheating cutting edge and, what is very important, preserve the original factory hardening (steel hardness) of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Each type of knife has its own sharpening method and angle. We sharpen knives taking into account their purpose, surface treatment, and materials of manufacture.

For work we will need:
-Composite glue, popularly known as “cold welding”.
- Wood sawdust of fine fraction.
-Instantly acting adhesive.
-Water.
Operating procedure
It was no coincidence that we chose composite adhesive, because it has special property: initially the composition is plastic, but after a while it hardens. We use the period of plasticity for our own purposes.
It is important that the handle is made by a person who uses a broken knife more often, because the new temporary handle is very individually adjusted to the hand.
We took welding glue in regular packaging. We will not use the entire volume; based on the volume of the palm, cut off a part from a piece of glue. In this master class, we worked up to about 5 centimeters from the total piece of glue.
You need to work with glue by first wetting your hands with water. The piece is kneaded until it gains sufficient plasticity. We prepared very fine sawdust in advance. Not many are required. The approximate proportion can be easily determined visually by ironing the photo in the text of this instruction.
The finer the sawdust used to create the handle, the less noticeable they will be in the glue when finished. It is important to mix the piece of composite glue with the sawdust as thoroughly as possible. Once we are satisfied with the result of mixing, we move on to the next stage.
The blade pin is immersed to the desired length in the adhesive mass, and the hand that holds the “ cold welding”, the handle itself is formed. This is the most important point the entire work process. Feel the knife in your hand, whether it is comfortable to hold in your palm. As long as the handle is pliable, it can be made to any shape.
Once you have formed the handle, set the knife aside for a minute. After this time, take the knife again and evaluate how comfortable it is in your palm. If you are satisfied with the result, let the composite glue harden a little, about a quarter of an hour.
After which the knife blade must be carefully freed from the glue. Now our task is to prepare the handle for final attachment to the blade. For this we have prepared an instantly hardening glue. We simply squeeze it into the hole left in the handle by the pin, and put the handle on the pin again.
Remove any glue that comes out immediately. Despite the fact that we chose glue that dries instantly, we recommend leaving the knife to dry for several hours, or even the whole day.
The knife can be used, but if you plan to leave the handle for a longer time without changing it to a wooden one, we recommend polishing it lightly with an abrasive material and then varnishing it. This handle may not be as beautiful as a wooden handle, but it does not have the disadvantages of wood; it takes a lot of effort to break or ruin it. Also, nothing will happen to it if the knife is stored for some time in conditions that would probably sharpen the wooden handle.
Be sure to complete such a large-scale knife repair by sharpening it and, if necessary, polishing it, since you should give the cutting tool new life, then let it be truly brilliant from scratch. Use it!

The edge may become dull or completely defective. The professionals will restore their sharpness, rest assured. However, it’s not just the blade that can cause problems. However, true professionals will be able to solve any problem. Often, a knife is considered some kind of accessory, an item of interior decoration, or just a person. However, over time, these knives lose their beauty. True, first of all you need to take care of your own knife without the help of others, clean it, polish it, etc. But when the knife has reached such a state that you are unable to do anything, take it to a knife repair shop. There he will be given back all his beauty and elegance.
You can buy knives and everything for knives in designated stores. And only there you should take this tool if you want to have a quality item. Well, when your knife starts to break, bring it to our craftsmen, who will fix it perfectly. And your tool will last for a very long time.
Sometimes the handle linings of knives break off, especially if they are made of plastic. It’s a pity to throw away a knife plate, especially when the blade can still serve for a long time.
First, we will discuss two ideas for restoring a knife handle, and then we will try to make one of them a reality. This kind of work can be done by anyone holding in their hands cutting tools, hammer, pliers and brush.
If the shank is thick enough, then you can take a piece of hard wood, make a cut in it or drill a hole and insert the shank into it with tension. This type of fastening of the handle to the shank is called mounted. With a thin shank, this method of securing the handle will not be very reliable.
For such a case better pen make from two identical halves and secure them to the shank with rivets, pins or furniture screws. This method, called riveted or overhead, seems to be the best here.
We prepare the knife for restoration by completely removing all remnants of the previous handle from the shank, and putting it in order.
What do we need for work?
Let's prepare the necessary materials:- knife plate – blade with a shank (recovery item);
- veneer of red or similar quality wood;
- a block of hardwood or multi-layer high-quality plywood;
- epoxy resin;
- metal rod (preferably copper or aluminum, but steel is also possible);
- transparent waterproof varnish.
- hacksaw for wood and metal;
- Stanley knife (carpet knife);
- pliers or pliers;
- drilling machine or electric drill;
- bench vice;
- grinder and sandpaper.
The process of making a knife handle
The dimensions of the handle depend on the length of the blade and shank, but the thickness of the pads should not be less than 6-7 mm, otherwise it is difficult to ensure the strength of the handle and ease of use. The sequence of individual steps is also not critical.
1. Cut from cooked wooden block two blanks of equal length (future linings or cheeks of the handle).
2. Using pliers or a hacksaw, we separate the pins from the rod along a length slightly larger than the total thickness of the handle. At the end of the work, they can be riveted and the linings can be firmly connected to each other and to the shank. The ends of the pins are rounded for safety and ease of installation in the holes.
3. Using the shank with the heel as a sample, we place them on the cheek blanks, outline the front contour and the place where the hole is drilled. We carry out drilling and processing of the linings on the side of the blade according to the marks, since after assembling the knife it will not be easy to do this, especially if they are complex in configuration. We insert the pin into the hole and make sure that it matches in diameter and length.
4. We cut the veneer along the contour, placing a piece of it between the overlays, and removing the excess with a Stanley knife.
5. Apply epoxy resin to the outer surfaces of the linings, inserting a pin into the hole in advance, and glue the veneer. After making sure that there is no displacement, we assemble the knife plate, both pads with glued veneer along with the pin and clamp everything in a vice until the epoxy resin has completely cured.
6. Pre-form the handle, using first band saw, a carpet knife, then a grinder and coarse sandpaper.
All things break sooner or later. In some cases, it will not be possible to do without the help of specialists. In others, the situation can be taken into your own hands. Here, for example, is what you can do if the handle of a knife breaks off. Such a critical breakdown is actually not as scary as it might seem at first glance, especially if the owner has the desire and his hands grow from the right place.
Preparation
You should not have any illusions about a broken knife. The best (and often the only) way to restore a tool is to create a new handle and install an existing blade in it. Therefore, before getting to work, we remove all remnants of the old handle from the shank of the knife.
In addition, for the work you will need red wood veneer (or similar in quality), a metal rod, epoxy resin, transparent waterproof varnish, another block of wood, this time hardwood (high-quality multi-layer plywood is also suitable). In the process of work, you are guaranteed to need a hacksaw, an electric drill, a vice, sandpaper and a grinder, as well as a carpet knife.
The working process
The dimensions of the manufactured handle depend on the dimensions of the knife shank. In this case, the thickness of the linings should not be less than 6-7 mm. Otherwise, such a handle will simply be inconvenient.
So let's take ours wooden beam and make two blanks for the overlays from it.
Now we take the prepared rod and, using pliers, separate the pins from it along a length slightly exceeding the total thickness of the knife handle. Their ends must be rounded for ease of installation and safety.
We take a knife, apply the shank to the workpiece and outline the front contour, as well as the place to drill the hole. After this, drilling should be done according to the marks, followed by processing of the linings on the side of the blade. If you do not do this now, then doing such work in the future will become extremely problematic. This stage ends with checking the conformity of the pin to the workpiece.
We take the prepared veneer and cut it. We do this along the contour. We place a piece of veneer between the overlays. All excess is removed using a carpet knife. Once this is done, you can apply the epoxy resin to outer part overlays In this case, the pin should already be installed by this time. We glue the veneer and make sure there is no displacement. Having attached both pads, we carefully place the entire structure in a vice.
