When a 100 year old French baker's knife turns up at your caravan door and you watch the butter from a million pastries made in France melt in the Australian sun its a moment for reflection on how an object like a knif connects us to places, times and people. There is an indelible imprint we leave on the objects we use everyday. If we think about it we can see that our toich can one day be seen and felt by an unknown generation in the future. We are always humbled and honoured when people bring their sentimental heirlooms to us for sharpening, repair and restoration or just conservation.

When you run a micro business and someone"s nose is out of joint because you have to charge a fee that covers your site rental, insurances, vehicle costs and maintenance, supplies, staff costs, wages, taxes, work expenses, workwear, marketing, admin, accounting, software and computers, banking fees, eftpos fees... should I go on? And quite honestly NOTHING starts at $400 at our caravan. But maybe we should charge a di****ad fee and $400 does not even touch the sides to cover the rudeness and misogyny we have to put up with.

Carmen restores antique and vintage knife handkes. This one challenged her on a lot of levels. The rotted timber was not as apparent initually and required 3 different types of resins. It also needed two different types of colour resin. The other difficulty was trying to restore tge timber without removing the original stamped logo and code number of Chicago Knives. Customer has had these fpr 35 years and there's a good chance Chicago Knives don't exisy anymore. Timber is now integral and knives were sharpened by leigh.
