Knife Project

 The knife project is basically finished.  All my knives now have nice shiny handles.

 They've been restained and have a coat or two of polyurethane in these pictures.  

 

There are some very complicated seeming ways to go about refurbishing knife handles.  And I know that poly isn't the most food safe choice, but I personally feel that I don't use the knifes frequently enough, and the food doesn't normally rub on the handles, so i'm all right with it.  A deciding factor in my choice was that I have poly on hand and do not own any of the oils and things that the internet recommended for the job. 

It is safe to say that I am happy with the results.  

Now I just need to figure out what to do about the knife block.  It's looking extra drab itself now.  

It just can't compete with the stylish and shiny knives it houses!!!
