Restoring a 1984 Cleaver (Need Ideas/Suggestions)
After considering multiple forums; this felt like the most logical one...
Like many others, I've rediscovered my joy in cooking again during this pandemic. I recently unearthed a old family cleaver dated 1984 made locally from where my parents are from. This cleaver is older than me lol. While it's reasonably sharp; all things considered. It's in really poor condition:
=> Blade is warped (no longer straight)
=> The back of the blade is badly bruised (from being used as a hammer I'm pressuming)
=> The handle has seen much better days
I'm wondering if there are any good Canadian restoration companies? or possibly Canadian Youtubers that restores old knives that I could possibly reach out to? I was looking at cleavers lately and would love to add this to my cooking arsenal.
I'll upload some photos of the cleaver when I get home today.
On a side note, I've always kept my cooking utensils simple & functional:
=> 8" chef knife (Ikea Vardagen)
=> Pairing knife (Also from Ikea)
=> Metal bread/carving knife (From somewhere...)
=> Recent new addition: Ceramic Bread Knife (makes extremely clean cuts in bread and produces no crumbs - less waste/mess = win).
=> Large Bamboo cutting board & anti slip mat
=> Knife sharpener (I use this weekly)
Even more random note; I've made the Gotcha Roast Pork from Food Wars (Amazing dish btw).
