Broken Tip Italian Slicer Knife Restoration | Knifemaking

Alright, I might have gone a bit too far with the handle to call it a restoration, as always! But I had a lof of fun! And it's always a nice challenge to work with some limitation like pin holes and experiment with new materials composition. I'm loving this thin cork layer, actually thinking about making an handle only with that! And yes, I have left the spine rough, I know many of you don't like that but I do, I want to keep something that resembles the original texture and I definetly wanated to leave the makers mark "P". Knife is 280mm overall with 150mm blade, 54mm wide and just over 2mm thick. Dark wood is Wengè and light wood is teak.

Thanks for youre inspiration and Motivation man!

A tip , if the wood is not a burl then you really don't need to stabelise it

[@lollerich]

That game look like fucking shit. But you really deserve to get paid. Go ahead and take ALL the sponsorships you can. We Fans are with you, we get it. Go for it and don't let anybody ever discourage you!!!

[@bradleydowers7256]

I Really admire your work

[@istvancsiszer8229]

I paid for KZbin to get rid of ads. Is this what I get for my money???

[@Reijack]

I think he makes every project a contest to see how many clamps he can get on a piece at once

[@evelynbagnasco7293]

🤣

[@aidenstidham7179]

It looks like those people who get a bunch of piercings on their face

[@Heegaherger]

I think when he was making the laminated handles he used all of them. Every one he had.

[@LarryGarfieldCrell]

At this point, I'm mostly here for the handles. :-) They get more complex and interesting as time goes on.

[@elmotareal]

I'm here because I'm trying to put myself to sleep :) works like magic every time

[@work9613]

I dont agree

[@AsitShouldBe]

i make cnc ones but i think the manual way is better for viewers

[@prestonlandolt]

Literally same

[@oddarntnes7079]

i am making a knife handle for a rat tail tang, as i got the knife blade for christmas a few years back but i am not sure how to lol.

[@gregbowen617]

It’s so good to see old knives being restored. I’m a lover of chef’s and kitchen knives and this gives me great happiness knowing that there are those out there who keep great traditions alive. Beautiful work every time...

[@joshschneider9766]

As well as grid cutters apple peepers bread slicers, all sort of manually operated goodies getting restored these days.

[@tnmoe-]

"How many clamps do you use?" "Yes"

[@Frank0da0Tank]

All of them

[@jedset1291]

do people still really say this...

do you liked this job? table.

[@tyroniussupapookiemcleroy1403]

I don't know why but this is my fav knife you've ever done. The handle looks incredible.

I agree - that handle is beautiful!

[@juanmacattivelli8499]

one would imagine that with all those tools you would have a chopping board by this time

[@evelynbagnasco7293]

I think he is not allowed to use his family's chopping boards, either that or he thinks it's only extra clutter.

This is probably my favorite restoration video so far. Not too much reshaping. Still has a decent amount of the character the rust imparted. Very nice indeed. I'll recommend this to anyone who wants to restore a rusty knife.

[@Raych666]

I just got recommended this, did they just electrocute the rust of the knife lol that's awesome!

[@themegabattleo7672]

The process is called eletrolysis.

[@joshschneider9766]

Electrolytic removal of material, its the same as plating something just reversed electrical flow.

[@Seylhm]

Once again, quite a nice video ! I like the quick "before / after" at the end.

[@pekkasaarinen2902]

And while watching the ending I rememberd that I should have bought some tomatoes. 🤔

[@himhaile]

You could carve your brand into the metal and the handle! Its immaculate, regardless

[@DJCreepero]

I’m mostly here because this channel always likes creating quality and plus he puts the instructions and explanations at the description

[@kikinnit]

It’s fun watching someone show off all their fancy tools

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Your handles are absolutely stunning! Keep up the great work!

[@stephencano9990]

I just wanna say thank you for making these videos they really are relaxing

[@javierpatag3609]

I love this. Instead of reprofiling the blade to give it back its point, you preserved as much of the blade length as you could while cleaning it up and giving it back, clean sharp definitions. So simple and straightforward and yet filled with TLC. Thumbs up!

[@doctorpp23]

no hair is harmed in a bbp knifemaking video... impressing!

[@facundolopez8042]

The work you do with the handles it's unbelievable. Such a fine work.

[@Nebsgame]

I like watching this stuff it puts me to sleep in a good way. So satisfying

[@peebee143]

Excellent second life coming up for that quality knife. Nice job!

[@stalkson]

You are truly professional. I did not see the original knife made by the Company but you made this knife better than the original.

[@markburns4497]

OMG, such detailed work on the handle! Great work!

[@nickbremner6274]

Wonderful renovation with an outstanding handle but far too many adverts.

[@markedone9778]

Get Ublock Origin, I get no KZbin adds at all.

Just skip to the end of the video and replay it

[@joaoguilhermevaccariogata4745]

Nice job! Probably looks better now than it did when it was new. You are a true craftsman.

[@andybovington]

Another wonderful piece. Really enjoy your knife restoration / making videos, great art n talent. Would love to own one of those creations. Great work, keep it up mate

[@rogermacaranas3299]

You are the one of the greatest blacksmith that i know and heard in my life

Nice transition in the end, perfectly sums up the restoration! Great work. Can't wait for more. You make really nice content.

[@Aleeknives]

Lovely knife! Great restoration! Enjoyed hearing the chickens in the background also! Cheers

[@rorybarnard4824]

Really went the extra mile on the handle. Looks awesome!

[@glalih]

That bill envelope chopping was by far the most satisfactory paper cutting yet. Good knife save as well. Rspct.

[@e.t.preppin7084]

That’s a beautiful combination of scale material. Very well done 👍

[@Madlintelf]

A man can never ever have too many clamps! Talk about from trash to treasure, that came out gorgeous. If I saw that chopper in a store I'd think wow, that's pretty cool, but watching how much time and effort you put into restoring it, then making those beautiful scales means so much more, you put love into that thing! Great work as usual, take care.

[@kerlysproject]

nice job. I have learned a lot from this man. he's a great craftsman now i opened my own channel of knives

[@sleazypmartini5717]

That ad was extremely well placed and awesome

[@imhigh0013]

There are things going on and tools being used, that in my ignorance, require more explanation as to what is going on and why.

[@gamer2101]

I agree.

[@DlcEnergy]

aye, finally one where you don't circumcise its tang to fit it in a handle. instead, squeezing against the stiff tang. lol

[@davehorlacher]

You should create a Touchmark and stamp your knives with it.. Amazing work!

[@joshschneider9766]

Except he didn't manufacture these from scratch. That would violate Italian law friend.

[@purplegravy]

I love this knife!! It’s absolutely gorgeous!!

[@davidcox2264]

That looks fantastic. Love the handle.

[@Take_And_Make]

Awesome restoration, brother! Handle looks amazing! I like that you make your own liners and stabilize your wood. Bravo!

Bravo BBP, dove sei sparito per due settimane? ero preoccupato

[@DripSoup639]

I love his videos cause it’s less restoration and more like 50/50 restoration and upgrade

[@lucamorena5157]

Come mai preferisci usare rivetti sottili e numerosi piuttosto che pochi rivetti più grandi? O comunque, perché non usi i fori già presenti nel codolo? Come mai non hai sfruttato il foro già presente nel codolo per il rivetto a mosaico ? Non sarebbe stato centrato nel manico ? Spettacolare comunque! Come facevi a sapere che fosse Damasco ? Scusa per l'interrogatorio!

Love your handle work, man. Great vid.

Splendid job on this. Truly masterful!

[@lucatabanelli2636]

Hi BBP, Great video ad always. I’m striving to find some decent stabilizing resin for wood and i also would like to try the brand of epoxy you are using, do you have a link where to buy that in Italy? Thanks, Luca

[@joshschneider9766]

Most anything good for boats is plenty good for handles in my experience. Curing time is really the x factor at least for me. The faster setting stuff can be crazy to work with.

[@gabriellovin7227]

Dude the detail on that handle alone 😱😱❤️

Unbelievable. It's a beautiful knife.

[@richardpalmer6196]

Nicely done . I have a question, what are you using as an electrolyte? I normally use sodium carbonate ( soda ash) But l have never had the solution float the rust to the top in what looked like a dry dust .

Ok, noob question: Other than esthetic/contrast reason (which I understand) does the cork and felt offer anything else after being infused with resin/epoxy? I can't imagine there is much shock absorption with infused cork. I am genuinely curious as to the reasoning.
