More Knives from Estate Sale Shopping

I went early, stood in line, and got to be among the first into an estate sale today.

As is usually the case nothing really excellent available — and the desire to buy usually overwhelms my good sense — so I came home with a bag full.

Knife Selection Bought at an Estate Sale

This picture shows the knives that I bought. The block of knives are Wusthof Silverpoint, which are good German made knives, but are the least expensive of the Wusthof knives. Also in the shot is a Henckel cleaver, a Henckel paring knife, a Henkel steak knife, a knife steel and an old Carmichael 'cannery' knife.

Wusthof Silverpoint Chef's Knife

Here is a picture of the Wusthof chef's knife. A chef's knife is what everybody usually buys — so I need to decide if I want to keep the knives as a set or sell piecemeal.

I will sharpen the Wusthof and Henckel knives and offer for sale at my sharpening booth. The sharpening steel will also be sold at the sharpening booth.

Hand Axe, Hand Pruners and Hedge Clippers from Estate Sale

Here is  the garden tool section of my estate sale purchases.

A real nice hand axe, a rather cheap pair of hand pruners and a nice Fiskars hedge clipper. 

I like to have displayed at my sharpening booth at lease one of each item that I sharpen. That way it is quite clear quite quickly what I items I sharpen!

All three of these will be used to that purpose. All will get cleaned up and sharpened. The axe will also have the handle sanded and oiled — it will look beautiful!

Estate Sale Chisel Purchase

The last piece is this chisel. I sharpen chisels, so I should have one on hand. I like this guy — the aged wood handle with the paint splatters and such. I will pretty much leave the handle alone — clean the steel and sharpen, let the age show.
