HOMEWORK #11 – SHARPEN YOUR KNIVES

Happy Monday!!! For this week’s HOMEWORK, I forced my dad into doing a knife sharpening tutorial!!  We come from a long line  of “moletas” knife grinders) in Italy and my dad’s amazing at it. My dad’s been sharpening knives since he was a kid and is truly the very best in the country (I promise I don’t say this lightly) My dad used to make knives for commercial accounts (restaurants/ butchers etc.) when I was a kid and was just dipping a toe into retail when his factory burnt down with all of the knives and packaging we’d been working on.  He ended up selling the company (when I was in college) and for years I’ve been trying to convince him to get back to it.  His knives were always the best!!! He finally said “okay kid” and we’ve started work on our first collection of knives for our new company, Generations Cutlery.  (I have a placeholder website up for it sharing our story/ mission etc. but one day soon, she’ll be prettier 😉 )  We’re working on prototypes now and are working on perfecting the handle.  (The title photo on this post shows are current prototype- the one in olive wood- that we’re tweaking.)

 

 

We had a lot of fun & butted heads per usual but ended up with some super-sharp blades in time for the holidays!!!

Anyway, to check out this week’s knife sharpening tutorial, go here.

this is great fun, the two of your personalities! one can see your Dad is a touch reluctant!!

great info and cannot wait for your knives Lauren, love excellent knives. currently I have dinner plate knives from France that I baby. last week I walked into the kitchen to see my husband opening amazon packages with these knives….horrors!

while still angling for a book signing up here, is your Dad completely away and settled further south near you? or…🤞 does he come back on occasion???

merry. Christmas love!

I always depended on my Italian Dad to help me with sharpening knives. We recently lost him, at 91 years old, and watching your Dad guide you brought back so many memories. Your Dad’s technique was so helpful to follow, particularly when he did hands on guidance. I thought you had it, until he tweaked your technique! Helpful and heartwarming!
