Pen & Pocket Knife Restoration
Every antique penknife and pocket knife tells a story — of craftsmanship, personal journeys, and rich tradition. At R & R Polishing Ltd, we see each piece not simply as a tool, but as a work of art deserving of the finest care. Restoring these treasured items is not just a service for us — it's a passion.
Our Expertise:
We are proud to offer specialist restoration services designed for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who cherishes fine cutlery. Our careful process includes:
Precision Blade and Spring Regrinding: Skillfully reworking worn blades and springs where possible, ensuring they function smoothly and authentically, while preserving the original shape and character.
Joint Servicing and Spring Balancing: All joints and springs are ultrasonically cleaned and re-oiled to maintain correct action, ensuring longevity without introducing stress or unnecessary wear.
Sympathetic Polishing: Using traditional, gentle techniques to bring back lustre without stripping away the delicate details that make a piece truly special.
