Restoration of Old Crusty Machete Covered in Rust.

[@Reckless22]

I thought only Brazil had Corneta factories. Living and learning. Very cool job!!!

[@tristanbarnett6271]

Great job man not much people do machete Restorations I always enjoy seeing them restore especially when they got some historical value to them you not only restored it you customize the handle and I really enjoyed watching that one You definitely earned my subscribed keep up the good work

Jason Voorhees: Oh yeah! I need one of those!

[@josecancello957]

Corneta is a brazilian trade mark for pocket knives, knives , machetes, ecc. It exists untill today, 2020 . Really nice job. Congratulations pal.

[@AcmeRestorations]

Thanks. I do like to research the stuff I restore, so got deep into their stuff last week. This is one of their cheaper models :)

[@lonnieporter8566]

This is what is going to happen to the four machetes I have. Love the wood and brass looking.

[@oneshotme]

Great job on the handle

[@JuanPablo-ho7fg]

Kudos to you for not making the blade pointlessly shiny just to make it look good for the video. Not every restored piece of metal has to look like a mirror.

[@AcmeRestorations]

THANK YOU!

[@adammcguinness9950]

Damn! That’s beyond beautiful. That handle is gorgeous and makes my machetes look cheap.

[@tombarlow6176]

Beautiful restoration of the old mescett

[@AmandaVF1]

Dang you are so safety conscious it’s impressive

[@AcmeRestorations]

I like to avoid the emergency room if at all possible. Especially during a pandemic! :)

[@lordvengerx]

Jason voorhees would be proud lol. Outstanding job on this. It's probably one of the best machete restorations on KZbin imo

[@AcmeRestorations]

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

[@elizabethmorgenstern6938]

Heckuva lot of work to put into restoring a ten dollar machete, but it was a joy to watch.

[@TheTubejunky]

Agreed I bet the customer paid over $300 for this too. All the rust remover and chemical PIZZAZ just to grind it away anyway lol.

[@tctc8578]

That handle is particularly impressive, great job!

Very nice indeed. 👍👍👍🐨🐨🦘🦘🦘

[@TheMboe76]

Nice work. EXCEPT that the guard is only held in place with JB Weld? Kind of effects the functionality doesn't it? First impact and that guard's gonna fly right off.

[@shawnataylor7998]

Love the handle!

[@raydenbartley]

I found an old really cool machete in a stone cutting facility!!!

Beautiful handle well done

_It's beutiful._ *I've watched this for five hours now*

[@williampatience9524]

Outstanding, very well done, certainly increased it's value.

[@TheTubejunky]

yeah considering the customer probably paid like $600 to have it restored!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

The new handle certainly looks nice. Good job.

[@charleslassiter6711]

very nice it all looks great keep up the good work

[@house9850]

thumbs up for the handle work, would have liked to see a new edge created and sanding / polishing of the blade

[@AcmeRestorations]

Blade's too pitted to sand/polish. That's why I went with acid etch. I think I wrote that in the text.

[@katiebellmichelle]

This is really beautiful 🤩 great job 👏🏻

[@lightinducedtrauma1432]

I'm currently working on one that looks nearly identical and is in the same condition

[@paulskinback717]

i found 1 in a neighbours garden when i was tidying it up 2ft long and well rusty gonna restore it

[@michaelbatts7149]

Excellent job!

[@caioarzua5549]

Hi! Im from Brasil and I just wanted to say i love ur videos! You are doing a great job!

[@AcmeRestorations]

Obrigado!

[@DawahTrucker2024]

Very nice restoration, very nice finish in the handle, it would've been great if you had used Japanese water stones to sharpen that edge

[@gregmundo6107]

Very nice job

[@ozarked2363]

I did 2 corn knives that were my great-grandfathers. They were also too pitted to grind out so I used Evapo-Rust to remove the rust and then cold blued the blades. I did one handle out of quarter-sawn sycamore and the other out of black walnut from a blow down in the woods behind my house. I couldn't find any tube brass for the lanyard ferrules so I cut the necks and bases off .223 cases and removed the burrs with a chamfer tool. I really enjoyed the whole process so now I'm looking for something else to restore.

[@AcmeRestorations]

Very cool. I'm working on another project where I'm going to actually blue some steel. Hard to get that process dialed in but the results should be fantastic.

[@rodolfojimenez6988]

No había visto que le pusieran tanto esmero a un machete, pocos lo hacen, exelente trabajo 👍

[@stefanobc1971]

Nice job. More focus on sharpening and testing, please.

now.. we begin with the... keeel test... then we move on to the strength test... the infamous Ice block chop.. then the sharpness test.. 🤣😁👍

[@AcmeRestorations]

Oh man an ice block chop would have been awesome!

[@Aronnax777]

Awesome restoration, but I wish you would have done a paper test to show how sharp it was.

[@dannymacarthur13]

Can you tell me why you use why just not sand blast first? Cheers

[@ryuucorvin2300]

i have the exact same one with a black plastic handle

[@roflchopter11]

What's the proper name for the tool at 2:15? And is an electric version available?

[@AcmeRestorations]

That's an angle die grinder. The electric version is just an angle grinder; they are much larger.

[@raymondlegare7584]

Nice handle. Polishing the blade not important?

[@AcmeRestorations]

Not a lot you can do with 1.5mm thick steel that's been pitted by rust. Polished it would look like crap and you run the risk of removing material. So I went with acid etched. Not everything can be restored to it's original condition.

[@YoloYester94]

The infamous ACME

[@harimanmuhammad4471]

Wow, I like the steps.

[@deegz2425]

Where can i buy that rust remover liquid?

[@AcmeRestorations]

Most big box hardware stores. Harbor freight, Amazon.

[@markschwegler1100]

Looks really nice. Should have put at least one pin the brass guard...that epoxy will crack and fail with the kind of hits a machete deals.

[@AcmeRestorations]

I tried. That tang is HARD. Could not get a bit through it and I am not set up for annealing/tempering/re-hardening something this big, so I did what I could. Thanks for watching.

[@RESTORATIONOFSCRAPMETAL]

great job 👍

[@lightning4871]

Very nice job!

[@5phutsangtao-iQ]

restore knife to new and beautiful

[@fhetty]

Not a big fan of the matte finish, but overall this an absolutely gorgeous blade! Great job on the hilt.

[@Danielson1818]

Everyone likes different looks, but that dark etch protects from rust on high carbon Steel. It wouldn't last long if he polished the blade to be shiny.

[@draven86]

personally i would have added 3 fullers on each side and modified the handle and added a D-guard turning it into a cutlass but pretty good restoration

[@AcmeRestorations]

Yeah but I don't want a cutlass; I'm going to use this as a machete :). I thought about fullers and a top saw, but the blade is hardened and I didn't have any way to grind those with any sort of precision, and i don't have anyway of re-heat treating something as long as a machete.

[@jamestcg1468]

u could of did a test on the blade function and made the blade look more sharper imo, overall a pretty OK restoration....

Оригинально.сначала в кислоте подержал.потом болгаркой сбил ржавчину.и в конце оказалось что у него есть пескоструй.а теперь вопрос .нахрена нужны были такие трудности с болгаркой и кислотой?

[@warlenmaldonado9978]

Nice Job!

Looks cool well done.

[@axelwulf6220]

I would have added the pins before shaping the grip Just to reduce the risk of potentially marring it by accident

I have a blade that was my grandfather machete in WW2. It's SLIGHTLY warped and would like it sharpened with something other than a grinder. Would u PLEASE do this job for me?

Yes Jason your machete is fixed

[@davycarlosdasilvaguimaraes2426]

Que machete aqui e nordeste 200% isso e um facão

[@allan4128]

You didn't include the tang when you use the rust remover. It has rust and also it is still part of the blade

[@AcmeRestorations]

Wire brushed the tang. Don't care about a little material loss on the tang.

[@darrengriffiths2372]

Hi my friend iv got to say wow what a lvly handel u have dun for micheaty sori for spelling bro i do my best thats lvly walnut handle u put on the nife and the brass just looks right bro sets it off to a tee lvly job bro mig shout out to u and lv to y self and y family stay safe bro 👍👍👍up to u from dino in england godbless

[@colleenposley1084]

Legit question to anyone who knows because I don't: why bother with the Scotch Brite if you just follow with bead blasting? Doesn't the bead blasting do what the Scotch Brite did? Thx for any info.

[@AcmeRestorations]

Sometimes plans change in the middle of a project :). I was going to sand it like you would a knife normally, but then realized the pitting was too deep so I went for the glass bead blasting to get the matte finish.

[@Journeyman1642]

Are you in the U.S.?

[@AcmeRestorations]

Yes.

[@bobbertbobby3975]

that was a great job ..tho a few things I may point out..not to judge you but just as a pointer maybe..my opinions only of course. 1. at the lanyard hole in the handle why insert a hollow brass pin thru it when the matterial itself is brass? Cause its jarringly noticble ..and also i would have thinned that area down some. 2. I prolly would have used a pin in the guard to secure it and not just trust the epoxy to hold it. 3. Um..sorry to sound kinda rude but..you really need to learn how to sharpen the blade better. using a file can be fine after blunting it by shaping..but wow..even if its using a belt grinder on it or a belt sander...or a sharpening stone used correctly. A just a curiosity...why did you go thru so many steps for the rust removal on the blade? I mean if in the end you were going to sandblast it..why do all the other steps? Just start off with a sandblasting and then polish it up and etch it. Other than that..it really was a great video and the handle looked amazing other than the few things i stated. Great job!
