Antique Rusty Cleaver Restoration - Full Restoration | Mister Patina
In this Video i‘m restoring an old rusty cleaver, i bought it online from a random guy. The cleaver was a smithed one piece. As i wanted to reshape the handle, i cut a little to deep and destroyed it. So i had the idea, to build a new one :)
I started with reshaping the blade, because it was in a very bad, used condition. After that i had a little fight with the rust, an electrolysis bath was the best choice i guess. Next step was building a new handle, i used some wood, metal and brass/aluminum bolts for it.
I think it turned out pretty nice, i hope you guys enjoy :)
If you have any questions or suggestions, you can write an email, i try to answer asap.

[@misterpatina]

Hey guys, I wanted to say thank you for all of your support! That gives me a lot of energy and motivation! If theres anything you got for me (critic, hints and tips, lovely words, tools to restore or just a nice comment) feel free to leave it in the comment section or contact me by email! PS: What do you think shows the motive on the oil container at 12:54? Random Restoration and me couldnt figure out yet :D

[@mizy358]

I love how a mistake was turned into a beautiful design

[@misterpatina]

Thank you :)

[@RoloSolis81]

“Beautiful”

[@josiahcarlitz946]

It’s ok. I think you should have welded metal onto it and done traditional style wood handle. This will be hard to clean and will rust easy.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks for your comment Josiah! I thought about many ways of putting the handle back on the plate. As I don’t have a welding machine in my homeshop, this wouldn’t have been an option. So I decided giving it the „decoration“ style and used those, imho, nice looking brass bolts and rivets :) I hope you enjoyed anyways!

[@misterpatina]

@Stinky McFrazzlepants that’s the sad truth. But I’ve ordered a welding machine, coming on Monday 😄

[@misterpatina]

Thanks bud!

[@Restomaniac]

Very very cool my friend, thanks for sharing!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Bro! 🙂

[@markharrisllb]

As an ex chef I can tell you balance is everything with a cleaver. You need it so you can use the middle to cut through a cow's backbone and then nick the sinew on a T Bone with the tip. This looks pretty well balanced to me. It’s when expletive go OTT customising the shape it all goes wrong. Well done.

[@misterpatina]

Hey Mark, pretty cool to hear that from a real expert! It weighs a little bit more than before, but like you said, the balance is better. Thanks for watching!

[@StealthDonut1]

The edge of the blade has an almost Damascus steel type of pattern that I really like. Well done!

[@misterpatina]

I was really impressed aswell when I saw this pattern 😍

[@morbusatari446]

Im not totally pleased with the result, but I enjoyed watching your work on it. I very much appreciate the production of this video. Keep on, I'll follow

Nice Cleaver. Good work as always.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Pumbaa!

[@randyclyde4939]

I didn't know what to expect! I was pleasantly surprised! Not sure how long the assembly would last under heavy use. Very nice video, you made lemon aid out of a lemon! Thank you!

[@floopderpund]

now thats a zombiekiller if i ever saw one!

[@misterpatina]

Haha, yeah would be very effective! 😄

[@crabtreeshep4969]

Hey Mr P. Great recovery on the handle blooper. I've been meaning to thank you for showing both measurements on the caliper (mm & inches). I'm used to dealing with fractions of inches in my reloading. Loved the video, thank you.

Franken-cleaver. 👍 Though, I wish you had smoothened the pits.

[@Bannimann2]

That's definitely one of a kind - I like it! 👍👍👍

[@randomrestoration6858]

Nice, man! That thing was so rusty it was definitely destined for the scrap yard before you got your hands on it. I'm glad to see the worlds best container made a return around 12:54 hahaha

[@misterpatina]

Thanks bro! Yeah, you could see how the rust ate this thing! Haha, yeah, the random flower container from the 70ś made its way back in the Video :D Thanks and keep it up!

[@florintancu9352]

I thought u ll clean all the rust from the blade.... The new design for the handle it s more interested than the original one! Succes!!!

[@misterpatina]

The rust was removed completely, i just left the defects. Thanks Florin!

[@tarin6083]

this was satisfying

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Natarinn! 🙂

[@RG-gd5tc]

Cool video and a really neat looking blade. I question functionality with the heavy pitting still at the top and the brass mechanical connections to the blade (soft)...Still fun to watch and an aesthetically pleasing piece! Curious, what were the circular indentations at the top of the blade?

[@mikero8240]

good work!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Mike!

[@shedmanx3640]

Amazing work. Every video impresses the heck out of me. 👍🇦🇺

1:04 *insert here* the video of squidward from spongebob saying “OH No, he’s hot”

[@ceb964]

Lovely "forme industrielle" style handle and creative solution to an unforeseen [well ya know...] hurdle. I loved the steel/brass pins the best, however the blade is still as ugly as sin. Excellent entertaining and humorous video. Keep 'em coming, stay safe and be well.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks a lot for your comment Erdal! Stay safe! 🙂

[@elmerjwolsfeld9851]

I love the finish you left on the blade and the handle was fantastic! Old meets new and mingles well!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Elmer! 🙂

[@alexniclauchlainn9247]

Me: I can't sleep I'll watch some Mister Patina to chill. Also Me: Oh no, he's cut too far. Also, also me: Oh no, he's hot.

[@misterpatina]

Haha, thanks! :-)

[@Jhearding]

Awesome! But why didn't you just WELD a new length of steel as the handle? Would have been way easier. Cheers.

[@misterpatina]

The sad truth: in this time I didn’t have a welding machine 😕

[@Jhearding]

Esa cuchilla de carnicero era una pieza de forja antigua hoy no se hacen más así, antes no se les solía poner mango de madera se les hacía el cubo del mismo metal, saludos 👍

[@misterpatina]

Hola y gracias por tu comentario! Siempre estoy feliz de recibir dicha información :-)

[@franskamstra2728]

For the next time you need to grind metal with a sanding disk go and look into the 3m cubitron 125 sa ding disks. You can get them in all kind of grit sizes. And work way better then normal snading disks

[@Flamenche5]

Should've welded a tang onto the blade instead of mechanically connecting the handle. Guaranteed to get loose.

[@misterpatina]

Just a display piece, but youre right!

[@timsmith1589]

That's dope bro, very cool look man.

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Tim! 🙂

[@otto17023]

I wonder if there is a reason to wait until it is assembled before oiling the wood? I would have thought that you would oil it before assembly.

[@orrozeta2183]

Sicuramente un lavoro MOLTO BEN FATTO, piacevole da vedersi e pieno di utilissime indicazioni. Le lacrime lasciamole solo alle cipolle!. Bene. :)

[@misterpatina]

Ehi, grazie per il tuo commento! Sono contento che ti sia piaciuto il mio video. :-)

[@user-vi8ek3ty5d]

Boahr geil ehy 😎

[@admanios]

Very nice! I hope this is just a display piece, though. All that pitting would pick up a lot of bacteria with regular use.

[@misterpatina]

Hey Ada, youre right, its just a display thing! :-)

[@mazevx2451]

Lol... That's not a real world problem, only in your mind.

[@ainungendutz5697]

di tunggu video berkarat selanjutnya

[@mikecorrado4971]

Beautiful restoration! The connection between the blade and the handle would be a weak spot if it is used as a cleaver. IMHO 🤔

[@misterpatina]

Thanks Mike! Yeah you’re right, but I only use it for displaying in the kitchen 🙂

[@iulianalexe1666]

Awesome restoration 👍👍👍👍

Thanks Iulian!

Ich restaurieren gerade ein Taschenmesser und mir fehlen die kleinen Stifte zum Nieten kannst du mir welche empfehlen?

[@georgeclontd4984]

Sometimes all that rust can cause the most uniqe finish on a blade.

[@misterpatina]

Totally agree!

[@RNDM85]

Just some constructive criticism from my point of view... My opinion only... "Coming up" clips seem like a waste of time to me and I just skip it anyway...plus I just want to watch the video with no spoilers 😁🤷🏼‍♂️

In next episode: I'm restoring these pliers with lots of rust gunk on them.

[@misterpatina]

Haha, I really thought about - but I think that rust isn’t deep enough til the next episode 😄 thanks for your comment!

[@robertgrell486]

Interessent 🤔

[@mazevx2451]

Well it came out nice for display, but there are some things that would be a problem for real world use. And with limited resources and that much metal on the blade I would have gone for a edge quench only. But anyway, it's a nice piece and you got it done!

[@misterpatina]

Thanks man! Like you said, its a display piece now! :-)

[@wuachurra]

we saw mr pat make a beautiful mistake and also saw his handsome face 😳

[@andrzejporeda7281]

Przepiękne jest to odrestaurowane ale szkoda ztrj kryminalnej rączki czeba było pozdrawiam serdecznie.

[@curtisweller4138]

Nice job. However, I would have preferred to see a new tang forged or welded to the knife. I understand that forging is a different discipline, though welding should be in your wheelhouse. Call me a traditionalist, it’s just my own 2 cents. Cheers!

[@misterpatina]

Totally agree here, Curtis. Problem was: at this time I didnt have a welding machine, so I needed to get creative. Hope you enjoyed anyways.

[@curtisweller4138]

@@misterpatina I did enjoy it. Very creative solution.

[@pghgeo816]

I assume you re-tempered the blade. I think you should have taken a bit more off the heel and toe of the blade. The belly still has a shallow spot. You took a junker and made it serviceable. I could see you revisiting this one later and doing ALOT more grinding.

[@lkurgpold]

Interesting and innovative design choice for the handle. And I won’t make a comment on that which you don’t want commented on. 🤫👸🏻

[@misterpatina]

Yep it was some sort of steampunk design 🙂 Linda, iam happy with any sort of comment from you 🙂❤️

[@michaelvandeborne9382]

There is no point restoring a blade pitted beyond recognition.

[@misterpatina]

Yeah but the video wouldnt be that entertaining, if i just wouldve bought a new one :-)

Handle is not looking good, and its stronger.

[@PanzarMetal]

For a moment thought it was "This old Tony's" German cousin

[@nahimibrahim107]

A welder would have been very useful here. Especially on the blade itself. You could have filled in all the imperfections.

[@dragulanosferatu4352]

The handle does not look comfortable at all, definitely just a show piece

[@davidhall8874]

Hey, I liked the handle! But the blade... P.O.S.! Keep the handle and get rid of the blade!
