Omg I've been hoping to see my project come up at some point! YES! I am absolutely blown away by this semi-restoration! As Kyle said in the video, I requested a minimalist approach but gave him complete freedom to do his thing! I'm in South Central Kentucky. I found the blade while restoring a house that was located near a spot an old barn had once stood. I imagine it took many a hens head.... But that's just a guess. Kyle is correct in that it will grace our barbecue. Although I might not have the courage to use it after all his hard work! I'm ecstatic with the results! Thank you Sir Kyle! Fantastic!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Haha Thanks Ed! So glad you love it, and hoping I get to see a picture of it carving up your barbequed meats!

[@hoseja]

I hope it's well oiled or all the pits will rust away again in no time. Would have cleaned it up quite a bit more myself.

How much does a Restauration like this cost?

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

@@milchpulverkakao4917 I'd like to know that as well... On an average.. about what price range???. Just a ballpark figure is all

[@milchpulverkakao4917]

@@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 i mean it can’t be that expensive because the mora that he restored cots like 80$ or something so it must make sense

[@bluffybluff]

Kyle, I just want to thank you for such useful information. I've went from learning how to sharpen a Mora to spending the last couple of days in the shed making a knife from an old garden shears, all inspired by your content. I'm 90% done and it's looking good, it's something similar to a Condor Bushlore. Just hoping the steel holds up now! Keep up the great work!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

That's fantastic! I'm so glad you found value in my content!

[@bluffybluff]

@@kyle_noseworthy You might have some competition in a few years Kyle haha. Just wondering, is it a bad idea to use an old shears, considering the quality of the steel is probably not great. Either way it's been a great learning curve, many mistakes were made.

Kyle you are a inspiration for many people, I am 50 and just bought a new drafting table, I haven't done a landscape drawing in 15 years. I went to my local Hobby Lobby and bought a roll of practice paper and a few sheets of Vellum, I am going to sit down with my grandson and have him help me design a new clubhouse and garden design. And of course let him draw as well. Great show as always. Have a nice weekend,

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Troy! Being as productive as I can. Thank you for your continued support. I love reading your comments

[@williammrdeza9445]

I had my doubts on this one, Kyle, but should have known better! That project turned out to be really cool. What a treasure to find and to breath new life back into. Wouldn't it be fun to hear all the stories that cleaver/knife had to tell? Very nice job and thanks for sharing this with us.

[@adammcguinness9950]

A mate of mine found a cleaver when he was digging up someone’s backyard,(he does garden landscaping). It was buried for a long time. I restored it and he let me keep it. It’s a beast of cleaver, about 1kg and I managed to keep the original handle. I got 90% of the scale/rust off. It still has character marks. You’re right, they are a fun knife.

[@scottdunbar4898]

I love restoring OLD axe heads that I find metal detecting here in Maine. Have you ever experimented with electrolysis for removing oxidation from steel?

[@kyle_noseworthy]

I haven't yet, Scott! Pondered it a few times. Metal detecting is something else I'd love to try!

[@danjennings6817]

Sweet. Can’t believe you made that worth while

[@mohamadsamak6370]

[@jimfonville8622]

Great job as usual. What did you use to stabilize the rust?

[@mickyguy157]

looks almost like an obsidian knife with the deep pitting looks very cool

[@anthonyarias2403]

When I first saw you starting this meat cleaver I was hoping you was not going to take the pitting out completely .. that thing is so cool man I want one of those for myself I guess I need to find one in the dirt and get it made from you awesome work!!!!!!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Haha best of luck finding one, Anthony! I think those guys with metal detectors have all kinds of luck!

[@karibes]

Beautiful restoration you have done there 😍. I love the good looking knife and as Ed said below, I probably won't have enough courage to use that beautiful knife. Now I'm not an expert but maybe the tip would help you. I agree with you that it would have taken you lot of time to remove all rust. In that case how about trying electrolysis? Would that work anything better for removing 99% (or heck maybe 100%) rust while maintaining the look? Again, gosh darn beauty! 😊

[@fuckthisaccount8133]

Damn that knife went through pack-a-punch And a clean-up

[@adumbledoor394]

Something that would really interest me, especially with a pretty extreme piece like this one, is the customer's first reaction. I understand that probably at least some of the knives (maybe even most) you get to restore are sent to you, and the customer doesn't pick the finished knife up in person. I also am aware that many likely don't want to be in front of the camera. And there might be other reasons that make filming customer reactions hard, but if ever possible, I think it would be lovely to see how people react to your work in person. Incredible work on this one, as always. It is great to see that you keep the knife's character. I am sure this rather unique-looking knife will get some family members or friends of the client curious about its story.

[@robbjerls2252]

Nice job

Pits in that thing are so deep it could nearly double as a cheese grater.🤣

[@lancemillward1912]

Was expecting it to be gound within an inch of its life. Was presently surprised it wasnt

[@jocelynwotring4802]

That Turned out nice. Like that you left the pitting, looks awesome and only time can make that look. I bought a new kitchen knife where they tried to duplicate that look. I'd rather it had been a plain blade after seeing the result.

[@CarbonKevin]

Shoulda checked with the local constables, that might be a long lost murder weapon 😂

[@armandoguzman8945]

do you ever sharpen machetes i always wanted to get the sharpness of a regular blade on a durable jungle master since the blade is thick

[@ChadMorgan709]

That's a deadly old cleaver, a friend of mine dug one up in torbay years ago and restored it but it wasn't nearly as hefty as that old relic. What a piece to Have hung on the wall in the kitchen.

[@SharpWorks]

Wow that was so neglected. You did a good job giving it a second life!

[@galaxya40s95]

Nice job and nice knife. May I ask what are you using at 3:41 ? You are cleaning the belt or something?

[@strydyrhellzrydyr1345]

Hey.. decent intro man... Liking it

[@FluffyDragonDrawing]

Is there a particular reason you didn't remove atleast most of the pitting? I was kind of expecting to see all of that come off, not to say it _needs_ that of course, but I am curious.

[@DualKeys]

The client has posted in the comments that he requested a very minimalist style restoration.

[@HR-ve7mc]

I think it wouldnt look as good as its now. Also with that, he would need to remove way more steel to the level of the deepest pitting. I think you would loose the style as this knife just looks very old and good now.

[@MasterMayhem78]

Going too far could create more problems. He took it as far as it could go and I think it has benefited from that. It looks super rustic but with a very clean finish.

[@josephchavez8280]

That thing came out looking sweet.

[@rjcoady21]

Interesting steel! Judging by the sparks it was closer to a tool steel.

[@Riyame]

Decided to hop on youtube and see if there was anything and found gold! :D

[@kyle_noseworthy]

haha score!

[@pwbpeter]

Good job, i have a similar one nearly as bad as that one but with no handle , I think it was a butchers cleaver that retired it,s life to chopping sticks in the woodshed.

[@jayytee8062]

I would not use that thing anywhere near food. Food prep knives should all have a clean and smooth Finish.

[@jimdirt9644]

Had one like that even had the handle on it.sent you a pic of it. you said it look like it seen its last days.was going to give to you . Gave it away.good luck with that one.

[@jonathanmemole4811]

It's so nice to see a knife restoration where it's not ground down to the thickness of flashing for the sake of thumbnail cosmetics! Well done!

[@kyle_noseworthy]

haha Yea... I have no interest in that silliness. It doesn't suit my style.

[@seeker_of_truth2759]

I love what you did, I so hate that when people just take away all the personality and remove chunks of the blade because pitting is "unsightly" (read- beautiful)

[@lalli8152]

I agree. If theres nothing flaking off or something no need to go further. Also would have just been more expensive to the customer who just wanted user becausr the added grind time. Likely he would have polished it if that what the customer would have asked, but it looks awesome now with character.

[@polycatmagic1236]

The pitting makes it look like a meteor. Meteor knife.

[@ashthesmart1]

Would absolutely have gone with a darkish wood for the handle but otherwise great results.

Awesome job I'm sure that meat cleaver has not looked that good ever so You my friend are a artist true artist God bless see you later

[@hairybanana9668]

On a butchers cleaver what should the edge geometry be ?

[@Jokers_9453]

This video felt very different from your usual video, not bad but not my favorite. Part of it was the music there seemed to be more of it and quite different than normal. Also the handle felt unfinished i do not know if it was the square edge toward the blade or the epoxy. Great content and things like this are why i watch knife makers to see the weird and unusual.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

thanks for the input, friend. A lot of it comes down to preference doesn't it? Editing, music style, handle materials, blade finish, etc.. we all like different things. Thanks for appreciating the work even if it wasn't your favorite.

[@michaeloconnorlicensedmast9848]

Silly question, why not just bead blast the rust off of all the surfaces? I mean sure, wire brush it first to get the heavy stuff off. But a bead blast would take you back to clean steel and arrest any further corrosion. Cool finished result regardless. I enjoy the videos as well.

[@mr.e1944]

As a blacksmith, I would have thrown it in the forge. A lot of the blade could have been corrected on the anvil. Most modern blade smiths just remove stock from blades that someone else made or cut out of flat stock and heat treated.

[@definit1on119]

Wow. I really like the contrast of the old pitted steel to the newly sharpened steal. Really fine looking knife

As long as they don't plan on using that for food they should be happy, not sure why you didn't remove the rest of the rust?
