Our Process

Stainless steel only became common after 1930. Earlier cutlery was often of superior quality – and worth restoring. Here's how we do it:

Remove the old blade and any leftover filler material from the handle
Select a matching blade shape – over 50 types in stock
Insert and seal the new stainless blade (dishwasher-safe)
Polish the handle and sharpen the new blade by hand

Transparent Pricing

New stainless blade including sharpening: €25
Removal, cleaning, insertion & polishing: €30

Prices are per piece and may vary slightly depending on blade style.

Important Notes & Possible Risks

Please note: we cannot guarantee that every handle will survive the blade removal process undamaged. In rare cases, older filler materials may cause damage or reaction. In over 10 years, this has only occurred once.

Thin or lightly silver-plated handles (e.g. alpaca) may develop small cracks or flake slightly. This is rare but possible. We always work with utmost care, but cannot replace damaged handles due to age or material fragility.

Fork Tip Replacement Also Available

We also offer tip replacement for old forks – restoring broken or bent tines with new stainless ones.

Fork with new tines — After: new fork tips inserted
