Williams And Hussey Knives source - TheCabinetmaker - 06-21-2023
I am looking to have a set of custom knives ground. Does anyone have a recommendation based on both price and quality?

I used a company in VT but I can't remember who specifically. Maybe it will come to me. They were a substantially cheaper than getting them from W&H.

I've had knives made at Ballew Saw and Tools in Springfield, Missouri.
They have a website. Good people.

I have tried to find the dealer in Vt to no avail. I have found the website for Ballew Saw and Tools in Springfield, Missouri, and will be calling them.
Thanks

Results?
I imagine the Ballew son is running the show now.
Doubtful Jack and Steve are still there, the 2 old geezers that I always dealt with. I haven't been to their store in numerous years.

A little late to the party, I know, but the last set I had made came from MouldingKnives.com. There is also a place in St. Louis that can make custom knives, but I don't remember the name, off hand.
If you have a custom set ground , you may wish to have the templates sent with the knives in case the company goes out of business, etc..
RE: Williams And Hussey Knives source - Stwood_ - 06-29-2023
Ballew always sent me the templates with new knives. And they stated if I sent them back for sharpening, to please include the templates.
There used to be a guy in KC that did custom knives also. At one time he made all of Woodmasters knives. Cannot remember his name at the moment.
