Big Italian Chef's Knife Restoration

Easy Restoration of a very nice italian chef's knife that features integral bolster, full tapered blade and full tapered tang! Hardness between 60 and 65 on the Rockwell scale.
I changed the bevel geometry to a full flat grind making this knife into a great slicing tool!

Hell of a clean restoration. Wish I had your skills!

[@FA7ALtheGOD]

Adoro seu trabalho

[@paulorth2251]

That knife had seriously strong metal in the blade. Very nice restoration and definitely an asset to any kitchen. Thanks for sharing. 😁👍🇨🇱🇺🇸

[@augustolima1731]

Muito Bom parabéns pelo seu trabalho 👏🏻👊🏻❤

[@sureshot311]

WOW. That came out beautiful. Incredible work.

[@flamberge8791]

Hi. That knife was maybe made in Italy, but the pattern is french. Actually, it looks like a Sabatier chef's knife. Very nice work btw.

[@adautoalbieri6639]

V.g.

[@michaelcomerford7034]

I bought my first ever kitchen knife around 35 years ago. It was a carbon steel Sabatier that looked just like this one , just a little smaller. Ironically, I gave it to an Itilian friend of mine a few years back. Carbon steel, tool steel, takes and keeps a good edge, but needs a lot of care to stop it coroding. Something that happens very easily when slicing vegetables.

[@metalmaniac2261]

Thats so freaky man. I was watching this guy w a knife just like this on snapchat stories earlier and wondered what kind of knife that was. Randomly clicked this video and lo and behold the answer to my earlier question

[@bensmith1781]

Maybe the chef that used the knife was Italian

[@redazi1]

Yes it look 100%sabatier .i had two of Them . The old version is the best

[@THEWORKSSHOP]

That's a really nice knife, truly impressed! Great work!

[@ScrewsAndTools]

Hi! Wonderful work and the knife itself is good and high-quality! Let me share my experience with electrolysis. Before plunging the knife into the water with water, add more salt and stir well and wait for 5-10 minutes, then the cleansing effect will be better. After that, you can already rinse, lubricate with oil and use an iron brush. You will see the difference. After that, you can already grind with a tape from 120 to 360 grit. And also during the gluing of wood with plastic. Plastic parts can be sanded with 80-120 grit sandpaper, then the fastening will be stronger. Wish you good luck! P.s. milling machine is co cute ^_^

[@davidmorris4353]

You are spot on about the electrolysis and the sanding of the plastic or any other hybrid including kydex, g10 etc! The durability and adhesion of my epoxy bonds has increased dramatically since I have followed your methods! Adding more salt and some washing soda or oxyclean really peels the rust off and gets down deep!

[@kitsvn]

Really awesome restoration. Your breadth of skill is impressive. Thank you for sharing!

[@IR-nq4qv]

Beautiful knife, the brushed finish does it well, nice job on the handle

[@jeromedangelo7028]

Marvelously done, Gader!

[@rodneylane7640]

Enjoyed that restoration video. Appreciated the knife was not dipped in ferric chloride and was kept nice and shiny. Fantastic outcome.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

This is a simple monosteel without any pattern, no need for ferric chloride.

[@user-ru3nm4lw5k]

Очень хорошо!

[@argagethuk7406]

Very miss you knife restoration. Finally. Nice job!

[@joefrazee537]

You are an artist. Easily one of the top bladesmiths in the world.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

If he were a bladesmith, he would have made the blade himself. He restored what was already there, no smithing involved.

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful knife beautiful restoration good job well done

[@user-xd8mi2is1n]

Всё как обычно классно и практично, удачи

[@suciptosausu9483]

Beleza pura mano!!!

[@magicfungi]

Absolutely one of the most enjoyable restorations so far! Thank you!

[@jamesalsup9135]

Excellent!

[@jokinabadsbs]

This is truly a restoration. No modifications on the knife and keeping it pure as it was when it came out of the factory. Nice job

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

That coloured liners between tang and scales on the handle are a modification. A subtle one, but not original.

[@abdelazizallali27382]

Congratulations for the Knowledge and skills. beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing

[@sperber-knives]

That is really beautiful 😍😍

[@Tyler-Woody]

Nice!!! I kind of like the pitting on my chefs knife . After a year of heavy use I used 7000 grit paper to reduce the patina . Underneath it all was very small amount of pitting. Feels like a badge of honor .

[@amazingskills2875]

Amazing nice job man

[@ramyramy5881]

Good and creative work

[@rlhanks]

A real test to any blade claiming to be razor sharp is thinly slicing any tomato. Attempt that with any average dull knife and it quickly turns into frustration. That final blade is perfect for the kitchen, beautifully simple and ready for work. Awesome job!!

[@leonardogasperi308]

Espectacular, muy bien, salidos

[@rtisom]

Magnificent work, exquisite result
