Went out on a knife hunt and brought back some goodies!

| Kitchen Knives |
Here are the knives that I found.
The top two are vintage J.A. Henckel, next is a Wusthof Classic forged chef's knife, then four paring knives.

| J. A. Henckel Slicing knives 219-8 1/2" and 232-8 |
Here are the top two. Vintage Henckel slicing knives. The top one is the 219-8 1/2" knife, the other is the 232-8. Both are stainless steel stamped knives, not full tang, and wood handles.
They were made in Solingen, Germany and are marked 'Friodur' which is their heat treating trademark.
Both of these Henckels are in remarkable condition for their age. I will clean and oil the wood handles and probably put them up for sale on eBay.

| Wusthof Classic Forged Chef's Knife Model 4522/20 |
Next up is this Wusthof. It's a Classic model, which is their best forged model. This knife is in good condition with one little exception.
 |
| Wusthof Chef's Knife with Bent Point |
Here is the one exception. I think the previous owner used this knife to pry an abalone off of a rock as the point of the knife is now heading left. It's a pretty big bend and I'm not sure if it will be able to be straightened — I may have to grind it down and reshape the knife.
I will probably have this knife with me and for sale at my mobile knife sharpening booth.

| R. H. Forschner, Case XX and Chicago Cutlery Paring Knives |
Found four paring knives. R. H. Forschner, Case XX and Chicago Cutlery. My knife sharpening customers are always on the prowl for paring knives so these will be cleaned up, sharpened and offered for sale at the mobile knife sharpening booth.
