recycleing old hickory knives
Just something cheap and fun I thought people might be interested in. I pick these things up for about a quarter at yard sales,Auctions etc. and have some fun reworking them.
They make pretty good old carbon steel knives for very cheap.
Here is a before and after picture(I combined two pictures. Its the same knife) You just soak them in white vinegar to remove the rusk and grind them to your liking. Use water to keep the steel cool. They are hard to beat for a quarter.

Those knives last if you dry them good after cleaning so blades don't rust. Have some that where my great grandmothers. They are probably close to 50 years old. Grandmother and my mom still uses their daily. Secret is to really dry blade off so the carbon don't rust.
