I needed a new cleaver so I went to look on flea bay. Found this really nice Kutmaster(Utica, NY) in great shape. I have about a half dozen knives made by Utica/Kutmaster and am very familiar with them. It just happened to come with a couple others in a nice leather folder. I have a total of $18 and about an hour's worth of elbow grease into them. The Cleaver was already nice, and probably worth twice what I paid for the whole set. All USA made and built solid. Nice wood too. I think I done good. Here is what they look like now.....

Heck, you can't even buy a Chinkwanese set for $18. The quality of this set is very good and I like "saving" old quality American made products.

So what have you "brought back to life"?

yep looks like you did good.
I have been wanting to buy a nice set of kitchen cutlery..all we have is old worn out chinkawanese garbage..
Everytime I price a nice set though, I get sticker shock..besides if I bought a nice set the mrs. would probably haul them off to the garden and use as a trenching tool or sumthin.
 
What exactly is the knife? I've never seen one of that design. A deboning Nike with a hack saw blade for bone?

I had a miscellaneous mess of kitchen knives for years with a few good Cutcos mixed in. About a 1.5 yrs ago I bought a set of Wusthof Classics. At first the wife had sticker shock, but now she said she likes having good knives. Buy once, cry once. They last a lifetime.

Happy birthday......
 
Excellent find! I like that and a really cool case. What steel did they use in those blades?
 
Shane, it says "carve-n-saw on it". Pretty cool knife but I don't know much about it. The saw is very sharp like you could hack a damm tree down with it. Has nice wood on it too.......
 
I really don't know. I would venture to say the cleaver is 1095. It is of MUCH heavier construction than the other 2 and razor sharp. It does not appear to have ever been sharpened, not a scratch on it.......
 
I never find cool old stuff like this. 'Course I don't get around many places where this stuff is sold either, but I think it is neat as heck.

I got an 8" Wüsthof Classic Chef’s Knife a few years ago, and I use it all the time.
Maybe one day I'll try to swing the whole set!!

You done good on the Kutmasters!
