#19: Just Like New

Sometimes, it takes time, patience, and a special eye for an antique kitchen item to get a new life. This vintage knife looked like it had seen better days. It was rusted and tarnished. The average person wouldn’t take that knife anywhere near their kitchen. However, someone spotted this antique and knew they could restore it to its former glory. 

Would you believe us if we told you the photo on the right is of the same knife? It’s true! Someone took the time to clean, polish, and repair the knife to its former beauty and glory. It looks brand-new. This restoration is a reminder that we can all “make do and mend” more often instead of just going out to buy something new.
