Bought a no name chef's knife at the local hardware store when I got my first apartment 1979 just off Active Duty and onto FDNY.
Still have it.
Found the new wife hammering it to cut a nail one day. It took 20 years to hone that dent out.
Knife has lasted much longer than the marriage.

Since this thread seems to have pooped out, I thought I'd tell a chef's knife rehab story. Wifey has an old Henckels 10 inch chef's knife that belonged to her mother. The knife was abused...hammered on, scratched to hell, apparently lived in the dishwasher...the wooden scales were destroyed. So I drilled out the rivets, filed out the spine and sanded out the blade. Then I ordered some cocobolo and fancy pin material and made new scales for the handle, and used black colored epoxy to glue them. Turned out nice.

I bought the materials online from a knife supply place in Texas (?). The wood was sawn in half, so the pieces were book matched. I have an old Craftsman belt sander that I clamped upside-down on my workbench and used that to shape the handle. I do like cocobolo! I think my mother-inlaw used a hammer to cut squash with it
Later on, I found a cleaver in an junk store and repeated the process, and ended up selling it. I keep an eye out for decent blades, but they are scarce. Thanks for the comments.

I agree with you on the cocobolo. When cut properly the grain is extraordinary. You may already know but in case you don’t, be real careful when sanding cocobolo it can be toxic.
