One of the greatest knife restoration I've watched in KZbin！You used most of the old parts including the original handle but make it brand new and keep the original shape. Well done！

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you for the wonderful praise! 🐢

[@norman9076]

Stumbled upon your channel this evening and just couldn't stop watching. You sir are an artist theres no other word for it... great job and great videos.

Nice to see you turtle. I’m glad you didn’t have haters. You are my favorite restorer. ❤🐢

[@-c3202]

Beautiful result! And I'm such a sucker for reflection shots, they were gorgeous! I also must say that I love the new camera angles on the lathe. My brain really struggles to figure out which way is down when looking at the other angle 🐢

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you for the praise and feedback, I'm glad you like it! 🐢

[@TheAsvarduilProject]

That knife clearly dreams of being a naginata! It's so big with such a long handle! What was it made to cleave!?

[@nexusvalintines1503]

A pig, it's called a hog splitter

[@CharlieSpringHeartstopper]

It literally cut through the cutting board! That was awesome!!!

[@kajaljha52]

It tickled an itch in my brain 😅❤

[@TheGelasiaBlythe]

I'm trying to imagine using that cleaver. It's probably longer than my arm! It looks stunning at the end!

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Yes, that's really long, over 80cm. I don't think you need this at home😅🐢

[@TheGelasiaBlythe]

@ForgottenShineRestoration It's over half my body length! It's almost a spear! Still, I would love to see that hanging on the wall in someone's kitchen.

[@stumagoo5433]

Bone cleaver I'd imagine, if it didn't cut it it would smash it

[@TheGelasiaBlythe]

@stumagoo5433 Hulk smashing bones sounds messy but fascinating. I've only ever seen bone saws (manual and electric).

[@cgautreau1]

the result was really stunning, and it was really cool to see you reuse the handle wood. one question though - did you consider just cleaning up the handle rather than rebuilding it? the handle looked beat up but serviceable. was there something wrong with it that couldn't be repaired?

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thanks for the praise, no I just wanted to clean it because there was still enough material available🐢

[@38kari]

Great restoration job, as usual. Turtle brush always cute. 🐢

It’s “almost” too beautiful to use, but it was built for a purpose and I hope you get to use it!

Really like your lathe and milling skills. While many would just go to Harbor Freight or Home Depot for replacement parts, you made your own. It's now better then new. Well done Sir 👏

[@DioHolyDiver83]

Whoa!!!! Thats one hell of a slice on that watermelon 😱

[@brandynpetersen8017]

That is a very nice hog splitter. But other than making a mess in the shop with a watermelon, or hanging it on a wall, what would someone use it for? Just about anything that you would cut with it, including watermelon, would discolor the blade, and it would need polishing again. Conversation piece maybe?

[@lucblin1435]

That thing was built like a brick shit house. If it's that hard to take apart, maybe it doesn't need a complete restoration? (Just the blade?)

[@jaysanders7472]

You do have a big cleaver there how ever a hog splitter is considerably larger.

[@МодунАндреев-в9ц]

Плохо это смотреть без озвучки, чем со вуком.😊

Oh no our handle! It's broken.

[@OriginalMomo]

I’ve seen bigger cleavers… 🤷🏼‍♂️…. Damn good job, bro.

[@MikeVal1369]

You sanded and milled all the history and character off of that handle. KO is forever gone, no one will think about them again, no one will look at the measuring marks on the handle and wonder what they were used for.

You do realize he kept the handle right... most people would have gotten rid of it and made a new handle but he kept it... stop throwing a fit and enjoy the video

[@ahmedbelly1926]

[@j.l.emerson592]

You need to pin the brass bolsters. Glue is not good enough to hold them to the blade in real life use. And... making it into a wall hanger defeats the entire purpose of restoration.

[@ynysafalon]

Art for art's sake is purpose enough. It's not for you to judge what the "purpose" of restoration is for someone else.

[@Janez-]

Art has nothing to do with propper restoration. Techniques of restoration are well defined all over the world.

[@daakudaddy5453]

This was a fairly easy restoration. The item was in very good condition to begin with. The handle was firm, and the blade metal was good quality with very little rust. All restoration needed here was some sanding and sharpening of the blade and polishing of the handle without any disassembly. But he made a whole deal out of it so he can make a longer video and put his fucking turtle in it. Whoever KO was, he was a formidable maker and made an amazing long lasting article. And this penny-pound-youtube-restorer erased KO's name out of his own creation. This is literally one of the worst restoration videos out there. The restored item has less value than the original.

[@harrywagner3877]

clutz.

[@sorayaya3080]

You forgot to put the initials back at the end of the handle. Everything is nicely restored, but you shouldn't erase the mark a creator put into their work And even if you throw the excuse of "Well, _I_ wouldn't mind if someone else put their mark here if it's restored restored again in the future" that's because you weren't the one who drew up the design of that tool, you weren't the one who cut out the piece of wood to make that handle, you weren't the one who cut, or even worse, forged out that entire blade, and you weren't the one who heat treated it neither. If you wanted to put your mark on it so bad, put it somewhere else. But at the fucking least leave the original initials there And even if those initials weren't from the maker of the tool, although not as scummy, it's still pretty unthoughtful of you to erase history quite literally carved into that cleaver. But if you don't know if this was a manufactured piece or not, the initials are as good as a maker mark

[@ericfg806]

That's a solid "NO". Totally ruined. Those handle 'channels' on the edges are indicative of a certain period of time and are now lost.

[@ynysafalon]

Then do better yourself. 🤷🏻
