Machete Restoration - Knife Transformation [Ebony Brass Handle]

Anyone who likes extremely rusty, old things will love this restoration. More precisely, it is more of a transformation from a machete to a knife. I had to do a lot of work on the lathe, grinding, drilling, tapping, electrolyzing, hardening and a lot more... Since the original handle of this antique machete was no longer there at all, I had to make a new one out of ebony with brass caps. The pitting caused a lot of damage to the machete, so the knife ended up looking old and new somehow! Stay tuned and have fun watching!
▶ What did I do?! ◀
Use a needle scaler to remove the crust of rust, that was really a lot of rust. This is then removed more deeply with electrolysis. Since the rust was already far too advanced, I could no longer save the machete in its original form and converted it into a knife. It gets its contour on the belt sander and the cutting edge is processed. During hardening, the knife is heated to 800 °C and quenched in preheated oil. The metal must then be tempered three times for one hour in an oven at 200°C. Since the old handle no longer exists, I remade it from ebony and brass caps; I did everything with the lathe and milling machine. Finally everything was assembled and the cutting edge was sharpened; Now nothing stood in the way of testing the knife.
▶ Good to know ◀
I used the following tools: needle scaler, water, glass container, salt, laboratory power supply, scriber, angle grinder, belt grinder, pen, caliper, hardening oven, immersion heater, thermometer, blacksmith tongs, oil, spatula, wire brush, oven, center punch, cordless screwdriver, drill, thread cutter, Cold bluing, abrasive fleece, lathe, turning chisel, boring bar, milling cutter, milling machine, two-component glue, file, sandpaper, grinding stone

Dude! That knife turned out awesome! And i love the way the screw fit in flush in the cap. Great job! And I appreciate that the sharpness test was on a grape and not a piece of paper.

I would think a sandblaster would get everything off no?

[@danielrobinson7872]

A recommendation. Round handles make edge alignment more difficult, and affect how well something can cut. I’d recommend rectangular or oval handles instead.

I'm completely ignorant to your profession and I admittedly have no idea how electrolysis removes rust…but wouldn't sandblasting remove the rust faster and easier? Genuinely asking.
