I haven't seen those since the 70's.

I have some ideas for cabinets that would benefit from them. I like the way they look.

That looks very nice. Can you post a photo or 2 of the entire cabinet, and maybe the inside?

Hi,

Sorry I didn't see this when if was first posted...

Sanderson hardware is great. I use their knife hinges all the time. They're beautifully made. I like them much better than Brusso.

Highly recommended.

Can you elaborate in what ways the Sanderson's are better than Brusso's? I've used only Brusso and Lee Valley knife hinges, and they both are great quality goods with no play or blemishes of any kind. Their prices are almost the same.

Good enough.


That's a sweet looking cabinet.


I don't care for the hinge, but would have to say a euro or butt hinge would be awful on that.
