Restoration of a cleaver - Black blade & Kingwood handle
Ғылым және технология
Today, we have an exciting project ahead: restoring this old meat cleaver. It looks like it has seen better days, but don't worry, we're going to restore it completely.
This meat cleaver was originally forged, giving it a unique history and quality. First, let's dismantle the old cleaver. The handle is completely eaten away by woodworms and unfortunately can't be salvaged. So, it has to go. However, the blade still has potential. I thoroughly sanded it down and then sandblasted it to remove rust and grime.
Next, I bluing the blade in four steps to prevent future rusting. Now it has a beautiful black/charcoal finish that not only looks great but also provides excellent protection.
Now onto the lathe. Here, I'm crafting caps for the new handle out of brass. Brass not only looks fantastic but is also very durable. The new wooden handle is made from Kingwood - a real standout! It's also created on the lathe and then rubbed with linseed oil varnish to protect and enhance its appearance.
Of course, precision milling is crucial. Everything needs to fit perfectly. A bit of concentration and a lot of patience are required.
Almost done! Now, let's put everything back together and ensure the meat cleaver feels good in the hand and is ready for use. It's always fascinating to see how restoration can transform an old, rusty tool into something beautiful and useful again.
That's it for today! I hope you enjoyed watching as much as I enjoyed restoring this meat cleaver. Don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe to my channel to catch all future projects. Until next time!

You do not want to use a cold blued knife for any type of food prep or gameprocessing.

OR PERIOD COLD BLUING LOOKS AWFUL
The handle was the best part, the wood is a nice color

I might be wrong but I think cold bluing is not food safe.

Yikes, probably best to quench it in oil I assume to get that color

It isn't. Even trace amounts of selenium dioxide ingestion can cause severe trouble 😬

@@richardharepax123 either don't "blue" it. Or hot dip it (quenching) to make it black with vegetable or mineral oil.

Good god, snowflakes everywhere!! 50yrs from now no one will have a imune system to speak of..
I would have preferred to see all the divots filled in. Nice handle though.
Love seeing turtle. It’s been awhile. Nice work. ❤🐢

Beautiful job! I do think the blade should have been sanded to a shiny finish, especially because of your channel name, but I really loved what you did with the handle and the whole piece! New subscriber here!

I hate to be "that person", I really do because it's your video and you can do whatever you please on your video on your channel. However, you were one of the few restoration channels that didn't do all the "fancy" transitions and different camera angles every 2.5 seconds and I greatly appreciated that. The multiple changes is angles so rapidly, and "fancy" transitions and edits give me anxiety for some reason 😓. Not telling you what to do, but I don't think you'll lose your audience by nixing the "fancy" edits and transitions. Either way great restoration! 😊

Thank you for your feedback, it's really important for me to know what appeals to my viewers! I've actually gotten into the habit of using this cut more and more because I'm trying to attract new viewers with it, that's the reason for it. But I'll seriously think about your comment! ❤🐢

@@ForgottenShineRestoration understandable, it's probably more of a me thing honestly. Multiple camera angles and changes withing a short amount of time make me anxious for some reason, but I'm probably just an anomaly 😅😅. Your restorations are always great either way!
Ручка была овального сечения не просто так, а работа ваша симпатична
2:12 perfect asmr👌
Gute Arbeit. Ich klebe vor dem Verkleben immer mit Klebeband ab. Damit vermeidet man das der 2K-Kleber alles versaut.

Complimenti veramente un ottimo lavoro... Soltanto io avrei preferito la lama color naturale lucido non nera perché spegne troppo il lavoro eseguito... Non si abbinina allo splendore del manico vera opera d arte... Poi comunque va bene così mi sono permesso un gusto personale...!!! 👉💯💫👏👏👏👍👌🔝

Could’ve used epoxy on the handle to salvage it by to each their own I guess lol

I think the old handle could be stabilized with resin

Wood worm damage is often found in old wood pieces
Cold bluing is not food safe. 👎
Beautiful handle for a sucky looking blade
The old handle was profiled better, besides, it's not food safe now
This audio was awful.
Name this video: Ugly and scratch
Nem volt hőkezelve!!!!! Így nem ér szinte semmit amit dolgoztál vele!!!!
You should've chopped something much bigger. A watermelon or whole chicken or turkey would have been best.
Edit the horrible sound of grinding next time...sheesh dude that was horrendous.
Already Seen so many restorations of this, kinda boring
