Crystal Repair Waterford Cake Knife
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 Posted in All Repair Projects, Waterford Crystal Repair | 4 Comments »Waterford cake knife is not a good choice for cutting ice cream cake. The glass did not break the metal handle did. In all the years repairing crystal I think this is a first. I removed what was left of the knife blade from the glass handle and silver soldered it. I put it back on the glass handle and its ready for the next party . Use the old big knife on the DAIRY QUEEN cake .
