From Toast to the Daily Mail
A few years back, I purchased a sterling silver butter knife from an auction. Some may have thought I was slightly odd for purchasing a single knife. However, I had the perfect project in mind. Many years ago, I had read an article in a magazine about a man that created letter openers from orphan knives. I had always wanted to do the same.
Knowing that I neither possessed the tools nor the skill to do so, I contacted a local craftsman:
Luke Sorensen, owner of Expedition Armory. He assured me that he would have no problem doing what I wanted. I have to say, he did not disappoint. I am very proud of my new letter opener.
I have included before and after photos of the transformation. What an ingenious way to bring new life to a beautiful object that would otherwise be tossed into a drawer.
If you want to see more of Luke Sorensen's masterful work, you can find it on his Facebook page, Expedition Armory. He creates custom knives and provides quality gunsmithing services.
