A Nutcracker Restoration and a Custom Knife

A Nutcracker Restoration and a Custom Knife

Sep 11

Last month Brandon started looking into buying a couple nutcrackers for our anniversary.  He discovered a few on Bob Mills’ site that he was interested in.  He contacted Bob regarding the nutcrackers and it ended up that Bob needed  restoration work done on a rare 18th century nutcracker.  This week we received a package from across the pond.  The nutcracker is here and it is going be Brandon’s next project.  Here are pictures of the nutcracker in it’s current condition…..

This nutcracker is petite and very special.  The front handle had broke and someone did a fix with nails and some metal.    There are none like it in existence to compare to so Brandon will be working on designing an appropriate handle for it.  Stay tuned for progress pictures.

Brandon has also been working on making a few custom knives.  Here is a folding knife he has just recently finished and delivered to it’s owner…..

He has a few more that he is working on that I will post at a later date.
