Restoring rusty Japanese chef knife - Knife restoration

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I found this rusty old Japanese kitchen knife while browsing ebay. What a great find for my restoration projects. It has some rust and the handle needs to be replaced. I was a little surprised how much rust there was on the tang. Luckily it still had quite a bit of steel left so I didn't have to weld a new one on. I used copper and walnut for the handle. All the pitting was sanded from the blade and it was polished to super mirror shine.

    Nice work. Thanks for sharing! I do reccomend to use a hard sanding stick when sanding (instead of your fingers) to assure that bevel transition line stays crisp. Also do all sanding strokes in a single direction, and alternate directions when changing grits. By doing so you can quite clearly see if you've removed all previous scratches before going up a grit. It also makes sure that all scratches that are still visible in your mirror polish all run in the same direction, which looks much cleaner.

    I am a Japanese who was moved by your work. Characters that could be identified are (自)"self" or(白) "white" and (合)"combination" Other characters are too corroded. The knives marked with (合)“combination” are steel and iron. Indicates that they have been combined. Or it may be guaranteeing quality as part of the(請合) "contract". And(白) "white" indicates Hitachi Metals' white steel. Or, (自)"self" might be the name of the place, the creator, the knife store, or the owner. I couldn't find what I was looking for. It may be a practical item that was made by a small blacksmith. Sorry for the terrible translation. I will come back to see your great work again. Thanks

It wasn’t enough to bleed, but there were so many cuts that the skin on my thumb looked just messed up.

    The back side (non-beveled side) of the knife is typically not quite flat, it has a "dished" surface--almost a hollow-grind. It facilitates slicing by reducing friction and helping to prevent slices from sticking to the back of the blade.

    ※ Google translation Good!! The knife looks black is steel and the gray part is iron I hope that the nuances of steel and iron will be transmitted. The knife's steel cuts great but the grinding is tough If all says the thing of steel finely, it is called "honyaki(本焼き)" or "all steel(全鋼)" This kitchen knife is made of steel and iron (soft iron) So it cuts wonderfully and polishing is easy If we say such a type of kitchen knife in detail, it is also known as "Matched kitchen knife(合わせ包丁)" or "set steel(つけ鋼)" etc. Knife body and handle This part is baked in Japan Why do you do this? By baking the iron part of the knife handle Because the inside of the handle wood is burned and fixed It is an important point In the old way the candle will keep water out of the joints Epoxy resin is better now With a candle, it will soon disappear Since the part of the kitchen knife which is put in the handle of this kitchen knife is iron, when it is washed, water will collect in the gap of the tree and rust So I'm worried that the wood will rot and the iron will rust and break I hope it will be transmitted

    ※Google Translation I reviewed the whole video The important thing to fix Japanese steel knives is to keep the body cool In that respect he is trying not to give the body a fever Electric sanders are not a strong way of heating Why is the act of giving the knife a fever? The knife's steel is very delicate to heat Heat will alter the content of the steel and it will not cut off A knife that can not be sharpened but cut is called (Namakura(なまくら)) In Japan, steel knives are very easy to rust but they cut well, so care is taken care of Wash and rinse with hot water every time you use and let it dry well I often polish and apply oil By doing so, the kitchen knife will be used for as long as twenty years It would be better to make the main body of the kitchen knife into a mirror surface with less rust. I think that it is very good if sealing is done so that water does not enter with adhesive. Some people do not seal in Japan There will be hundreds of knives and replacement handles on sale. And it may be because it is a forgotten technique, because such a technique is not necessary for the handle style of the western knife over time I admire his restoration( ̄ー ̄)bグッ!

    Mike Nunyabizness he probably picked the knife up at a tag sale or maybe even out of the trash. So no matter how he restored it he probably saved the knife from being thrown away and to never be seen again. I’ve seen other restorations he’s done and they weren’t done correctly but the end result was stunning just like this knife. He restores these items for aesthetics so they either LOOK new or better than new, not necessarily for functionality that would be a different KZread channel ie. Gun restoration for dummies or Knife restoration for anal retentive idiots. I am a chef by trade and have knives like Masamoto and Shun so I’m not just talking out of my ass. At the end of the day he does an awesome job restoring things and producing great entertaining videos. Keep up the great work. Mike please stop trolling/hating on him and maybe give him some advice here and there. マイク彼はおそらくタグの販売で、あるいはゴミからさらにナイフを拾った。それで、彼がどのようにそれを回復したとしても、彼はおそらくナイフが捨てられるのを防ぎ、二度と見られないようにしたのでしょう。私は彼が行った他の修復を見たことがあり、それらは正しく行われなかったが、最終結果はちょうどこのナイフのように驚くべきものだった。彼はこれらのアイテムを美学のために修復しているので、それらは新機能または新機能よりも優れているかのどちらかである。ダミーのための銃の回復または肛門の保持的な馬鹿のためのナイフの回復。私は職業のシェフで、MasamotoとShunのようなナイフを持っているので、私は自分のお尻から話すだけではありません。 一日の終わりに彼は物事を復元し、素晴らしい面白いビデオを制作する素晴らしい仕事をします。 これからもいい結果を出し続けてください。マイクは彼にトローリング/嫌いをやめて多分彼にあちこちで彼に助言を与えなさい。

    Great video. It's a Deba knife, made for breaking down fish and such. It's really good at chopping off their heads, that's why it has a thick blade. It's also really good at breaking down crab and lobster.

    A really cool knife, if this knife initally is only sharpened to one side its used for cutting fish ^-^ its to ensure its a clean a cut as possible. The other type which looks identical to this one and is very simular to a western chef knife and its called a gyuto. It's sharpened on both sides and is used as a multi tool knife more or less like the ones used in the west. The main difference though is japanese blades tend to be thinner but sharper and a insanely good cutter of meat, veg, fruit etc but not quite as good as the western chef knife for tougher things. A Western style can also be very sharp of course but is more heavy duty, it can tackle anything from a tomato to a Pumpkin to even bones if its sharpened properly but downside it tends to be heavier, looses its edge faster and cant cut quite as thin ^-^ (PS im a chef and i've used both styles of knives)

    How about a $30 belt sander from Harbor freight and a bench grinder with a buffing wheel. Save your hands and many unnecessary steps. The back of the knife is likely slightly concave and not flat.

    Are you sure about the "poor man's Damascus?" I am not a blacksmith, but I have seen many times where they will use two layers of steel, one high carbon, and the other mild steel. The high carbon steel forms the cutting edge, while the mild steel forms much of the bulk. The idea is that the mild steel will make it much hard to brake the blade than if it was all hardened steel, because mild steel has a lot more give in it. From what I have seen, this is very popular in Japanese blades, including swords and scissors.

    The two layers aren't "lazy man's damascus", it has a functional purpose. Likely, the metal on the flat side is harder and more brittle while the metal on the other side is softer to provide some resilience.

    There's an easier way to make the handle, drill a circular hole that is bigger than the tang, take a circular wood piece and cut a slot in it that is the width of the tang then insert it all with glue. I would also have blue-treated the steel in the handle to reduce any future corrosion. Good job on the blade, looks great

    The "lazy damascus" is in fact not a lazy, It has a purpose, the back side of the blade is sometimes made from other steel to strenghten the blade.
