ANTIQUE RUSTY CLEAVER RESTORATION!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
It's time for another rusty restoration! We love restoring old, rusty tools that collect dust in workshops or sell at vintage or antique sales. We created a KZread channel doing just that!
For our third video, we’re restoring a vintage Sharp Cutter cleaver from the 1940s made by the Royal Brand Cutlery Company. The cleaver was bent, dented, welded, missing half its handle and beyond rusted. The perfect antique cleaver for our restoration!
Time to RESTORE THE CLEAVER!
This was our process...
After removing the remaining handle, we soaked the cleaver in Metal Rescue Rust Removal BATH for 24 hours. That stuff works like a charm! The next day the cleaver was rust free and ready for some restoring. First we used an angle grinder with a sanding flap disk to clean up the cleaver. Our main focus was removing the hideous weld. At some point someone must have broken the cleaver head from the handle. This was their attempt to fix it. While the weld was holding the knife together, it definitely could be cleaned up.
Next we outlined where the cleaver’s shape would be altered. This was to remove dented and broken pieces of the knife, while also shaping it towards the aesthetic we wanted to create. We used a belt sander to remove the metal and create the new shape. Next we sanded the cleaver with wet sandpaper to 1,000 grit and polished it to a mirror finish with the buffer wheel.
After the work on the cleaver was finished, we turned our focus to the handle. We used Madagascar Rosewood for the handle and stainless steel for the bolster and butt. We traced the new design onto the wood and steel. We cut the wood handle with a bandsaw and used an angle grinder with a cutting wheel for the steel. Before we epoxied the handle, we dimpled the cleaver tang, wood and steel using a drill press to help the epoxy hold. After glueing it all together, we let it sit for 24 hours.
After the cleaver handle was dry, we used the drill press to cut holes for two stainless steel rivets. After taping the rivets into the handle, we used a grinding wheel to rough shape the steel and wood to fit the knife tang. We took off a lot of metal and were constantly pausing to wet down the steel to keep it cool. The epoxy has a melting point of 500’F, but we didn’t want to risk the knife falling apart. After grinding the handle into a rough shape, we further formed the handle with the belt sander. We moved from a 220 grit belt up to 800 grit belt.
After polishing the handle we sharpened the blade by hand using our wet stones. While the knife was never meant to be a sushi knife, it is surprisingly sharp and quite heavy. It’s a perfect cleaver for shopping into thick, hard food. We did our shop version of Fruit Ninja and chopped through every fruit we could get our hands on. Handled them all like a champ.
This vintage cleaver restoration project was a ton of fun and we’re really excited to create more videos just like this one. So please, share this video and subscribe to our channel for more awesome content from the Rust Rangers!

With a hand that fast @3:49, the women must love you ;) . Very nice video mate.
I like how you designed the handle and then cut out the pieces to use as a template to cut out the wood and other materials. Makes it simple to get good fitting handle parts.
Good Restoration Done 👍 Thumbs up 👍 👏 👏
Beautiful Workmanship , WOW
Hi bro 👋👋👋 awesome restoration cleaver 👍👍👍🔥👌🏽
Perfect video in every way. Great introductory description with links to more information. Thank you so much for the information for our education. The work is admirable, therefore my great respect. I like and also thank you for speeding up, when lengthy activities are performed that only increase the length of the video. Greetings from Czech Republic Perfentní video ve všech ohledech. Skvělý úvodní popis s odkazy na další informace. Mnokrát děkuji za informace pro naše vzdělání. Práce je obdivuhodná, proto můj veliký respekt. Líbí se mi a také děkuji zrychlení, kdy jsou prováděny zdlouhavé činnosti, které jen prodlužují délku videa. Pozdrav z ČR
Excellent work. I did a cleaver with black walnut and padauk handle and brass accents with homemade mosaic pins. Filed the back spine to look like a vine and etched a tattered American flag on one side. Only markings on the cleaver were the letters US stamped in one of the scales. Might have been military.
Very cool seeing it come out of the rust remover bath. I bet the darker part is the part of the steel that was hardened, and leaving a soft back.
Truly beautiful job restoring the cleaver!
Amazing, you very nice man
👏👏👏
Your video is relaxing for me
Amazing video
Wow, great job!
Great video you made it look brand new
Phenomenal work. Great job!
Well this is nicely timed, on lockdown here in the UK so I decided to restore my grandads old cleaver... This is just what I needed thanks 👍
Perfect restoration, Its looking brand new cleaver after restoration, you have done a brilliant job, really appreciate your hard work.
Great job, although I did cringe a tiny bit when you didn't clamp down the cleaver to use the grinder, probably because I would haven't either and I realized how dangerous it could be. Other than that, beautiful work and great video!!
Great job, I like the way you did the rivets after the main part of the handle had been glued, that actually makes way more sense to me! Well done
Very nice. Love it
Outstanding. I'd like too much learn to make it.
You’ve got nearly 23k subscribers based on just 3 videos! I’ve never seen that level of growth for a video and I was one of the first subscribers to 'my mechanics'. I hope everything is ok and it wasn’t for any bad reason you’ve stopped uploading. If not you really should carry on, the numbers are obviously there for you.
That’s a superb result, handle especially nice, great craftsmanship
Very nice reconditioning, looks looks luvly! Though have to say, whomever did that wielding job, really butchered it!

Loved the videos. To get rid of the wavy lines caused by the lighting alter your shutter speed so the camera is in sync with the lights 👍
Hermozo trabajo,me gusto mucho👍
Continue comme ça et bon courage je te suis depuis le debut
you get a subscribe for this son!
I could never do this. Try as I might, I can never make my hands move with blinding speed like he does in the video.

What if it wasn't speed up and it was his actual speed..
That handle was next level. Subbed.
Cool video, very nicely done. Please never run a cutoff wheel without a guard.
Godlike
Thats looks very beautiful for a meat cleaver 👌
Very nice. About to do one of these and wanted ideas because I've never done a cleaver or knife handle, just furniture and cutting boards. Try lowering the band saw guide bearings down to the wood with sufficient but not "tight" clearance. I'm not a pro but it helps,lol. I subscribed.
That looks like a Jet 2x42 or is it the 1x42? They look like really solidly built machines and they should be for what they cost. What do you think of it? Have you used a low end 1x30 machine and how do they compare?
👍👍
واو😍😍😍
Que beleza!
Great job, turned out amazing. I don’t know if I would have cut citrus with it at the end... did it end up discoloring your blade?
More video's are you dead you doing an amazing job keep going man.....!!!!!!!
😍😍😍😍

The cleaver came out amazing, but please don’t wear gloves while working on those machines (very good way to lose a hand) and there should be a shield on that grinder (if the disk breaks, shards of it could go straight through your head with how fast those shards will be traveling) just looking out for you! :)
nice
Great work 💯👍🏾
Awesome looking handle! Could you please share the names of the polishing agents?
Segundo
I was the 100th like!
Great restoration. You earned a sub. Quick question: why do you wear gloves for polishing but not when using the angle grinder?

J. Lacerda You wouldn’t want oil on your hands right?
It was welded. So i never would trust it.. But very good work.
Hey i didnt know your channel
But will it keel?
👏🇧🇷👏
What do you seal the metal with so it don't rust again?

You can't seal steel. Clean it immediately after use and oil it for storage.
wow I bet it could cut any fruit or veggie even it it was rusty .
my mom at 3 am 11:11
How can I hire u for work?
A cleaver is used for cutting meat on the bone, like ribs and chops, not fruit.
Hwo are you gonna kill with that one
I was hoping to see a restoration without using power tools. THAT would be worth watching!
so looking at the restoration of the blade was fine. when it came down to remaking a handle for it was going through my head was "ok so he has two mettle end caps lets see how he peens them" imagen my surprise when the only thing that got peend in place was the hard wood had grips. the guy must be intending to use it for light cutting because not peening the mettle caps is a mistake epoxy ant going to hold those in place under stress and after a number of years of use those mettle caps will eventually just snap there epoxy bonds. over all restoration rating 5/10.
Заточка не красивая. А за труды лайк
Nope
this is not restoration. it is a reusable.
MY ears 😠
