[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

It's really satisfying to watch you turn dirty, rusted knives into top notch knives you'd see chefs use

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

No professional chef would use such a knife. The blade shape is unpractical for cutting fruits or vegetables in a smooth, efficient motion. Also food can get stuck in the sharp angle between blade and handle.

[@puirYorick]

I never understand removing so much from the tang but still enjoy watching the whole process.

[@quinn_brock]

Easier on the hand in the long run, and gives a designed point of failure should one be needed.

[@puirYorick]

@@quinn_brock Sorry. Neither of those make any sense. *I can accept that it's just an artistic choice* but your engineering logic is silly. Removing most of the tempered glass area of a car windscreen so, in case of failure, there's fewer bits of glass to cut you is the same inverted reasoning you have proposed. The *actual* "designed point of failure" is to use a formula of glass which crumbles safely, NOT to just sculpt two thirds of the structure away so that it is barely performing its intended use. Tool ergonomics depend on the user's hand size and being too small is at least as bad as too big for ANY handle.

[@chongtak]

@puirYorick It looks more like a knife that will sit on a shelf. I doubt that tang would break but It may certainly bend after some time.

[@puirYorick]

@@chongtak I'm perfectly fine with it as a piece of decoration as I said to the other guy. It keeps a thing out of the trash.

[@chongtak]

@@puirYorick I agree

[@Steffanovitch73]

I'm don't know much about knife making, but won't cutting the tang so thin, make it weak? Love the coin use, and keeping the pitting.

[@Ottee2]

Sweet restoration, BB. That coin banding thing is pretty cool.

[@hajritaoufik8064]

That coin is tunisian money

[@danielarebetova499]

Yes

[@clacicle]

@@hajritaoufik8064 i noticed that as well. I think I even have that one.

[@vedranlatin1386]

Aren't you afraid to have such a small tang on a big knife? It looks like it would bend too easily... Coin ferule is way cool though :)

[@markvinny30]

Well, he wouldn't be cutting trees so...

[@markvinny30]

@nikos xois indeed

[@Aleph-Noll]

yeah cutting down the tang and a round handle and only one small pin on such a wide big knife. is not great

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

What a great start in to the Weekend - just enyoing your wonderful restoration video, as always!

[@DeltaCain13]

I know you usually do circular handles, but could you show us how you’d do a oval handle for better edge alignment?

[@patmaloney5735]

Make cir ular handle. cut sides off. sand

[@wea69420]

Octogonals are pretty good for that too, and easy to make. Just plane/rip the corners off square or rectangular stock

[@TheOnlyPsycho]

That coin idea was amazing!

[@abdelwahebdakar8146]

It's a Tunisian coin 💰I'm so happy to see something from my country in a knife video 🥰😍😘 specially in your KZbin channel 🖤🙈

[@ls901]

Love that "dowel" technique for tang fitting. It's absolutely genius! Thank you for the amazing content.

[@Stefanox36]

Never destroy a full tang knife. It looks miserable when it is only blade. I don't think a round handle is right for such a big knife.

[@minimaltrace]

It was only to be expected by someone why actually thinks this classifies as a restoration.

[@deanharris-martin1849]

That tang sure disappeared fast! Little too thin for my liking. But lovely knife!

[@edwinmason123]

What an incredible amount of useful machinery/tools you have in your workshop - I'm very jealous! Take care, Eddie.

[@dermotshaw5722]

Thin tangs are fine for kitchen knives. Clever use of the dowel, never seen that before

[@joannaatkins822]

This is in my opinion your most elegant knife yet. An absolute pleasure to watch

[@ZebRoll]

Awesome work! But a round handle profile is always a bad idea for knife (IMHO). - The hand does not know where the blade is pointing.

[@mred8002]

Most cooks will pinch the blade with thumb and forefinger, with the handle stabilized by the remaining fingers and palm. The key is having a sharp knife so you just need to guide it lightly. Cleavers and such do better with contoured handle, I think.

[@christopherlee627]

Great job in taking a serviceable knife with a good full tang and turning it into a pretty little decorative piece with a rat tail that will snap or bend the moment anyone tries to cut a carrot.

[@bay4west]

I love everything about this knife, but the coin makes it for me. I love what you did with the coin!!!

[@gregcox6047]

Beautiful result. Shows what a fine result can be achieved without restoring the item to death. Love the handle..my favourite part of the restoration.

[@Adhras]

Oh eccoti finalmente, me stavo a preoccupa 😁

[@redskins43]

one of the most talented on KZbin.... never ceases to amaze me.

[@jwaterous224]

Excellent re - use and customization. You make it a wanted kitchen item again. I like what you did with the blade leaving lots of character and then adding a sweep to the edge. More of a slicer and no more pounding bones in the barn!

[@eddietowers5595]

You always find the coolest rusted knives and restore them better than they were found. You, my friend, are a skilled artisan.

[@DanielBulyovcsity]

You always have weird tomatoes.

[@mchurchill7934]

Bro...that is close to a real tomato... No chemical added to growing,so the can have diferent shapes ..not only perfect round, the tase is sweet and smells like a tomato, supermarket shit hard like stones..and no taste... By the way u sayed dont think u had the chance to get a proper tomato till this age 😕😔.is sad..a bit i m comming from a country where they still cultivate proper tomatoes just for home use.(there i grew by picking all childhood straight from trees fruits like .peaches,apples pears, watermelon,grapes, prunes..whatever..u name it😁 very grateful for all that😌..onlu few countryz in europe doing it...u just try a salad of those tomato with spring onion, oil and vinegar +salt...u ll never forget it😉

[@sheerluckholmes5468]

You obviously prefer your tomatoes to be without flavour.

[@joelprickett]

@@UnCoolDad funny, i know this variety as cuore di bue

[@DanielBulyovcsity]

@@sheerluckholmes5468 I obviously never stated anything like that. Weird doesn't mean tasteless.

[@voodoo7008]

Nice restoration. It was just yesterday, I watched someone make a ring out of a coin for the first time. Very neat.

[@vinceearl4240]

Love the combination of wood, metal, and jewelry-making skills!

[@SonoraSlinger]

That stretchy mandrel is excellent on that coin. Need one of those for sure

[@randyparr2947]

Vintage coin ring was a nice touch .

[@cagywarlock7]

Absolutely stunning, that handle is good work. The shape and wood choice are simple which really compliments the detailed ring. The tiny golden dowel also complements the ring. 10/10 thats a nice knife

[@Nico.ibaseta]

Beautifull work ! Greetings from Argentina! And please, more leather works, I reallly love those works ! ☺️

[@stanleycarlock5624]

This was a beautiful restoration! I really like that method of using a dowel to insert the tang into the handle. Very ingenius!

[@KanyeT1306]

Have you ever made a serrated knife before? I think that would be an interesting challenge.

[@helioramos1974]

That coin in the handle is really good. Good work

[@lovejcdc]

Great video and I really enjoyed the repurposing of the coin into the handle. And leaving the pitting really adds to the character. I think it turned out great.

[@stromnessboy5171]

Beautiful work as always, Sir. Thanks for sharing this.; have a great weekend.

[@heathermacmillan962]

Wow...that shine is amazing...and what you did with the old coin was great! You are SO creative 😁

[@bobjoncas2814]

...lookin' good, nice resto, stay safe...

[@marcogiai-coletti354]

That's very cool. I like the way that you hold the tang in the handle - very clever.

[@jonathanthacker3791]

Respect for not just filling the handle with epoxy to hold the tang in. Great use of the dowel to size the tang to handle.

[@meinemechaniker]

great job, congratulations 👏

[@mikek.3965]

Nice work all along. When you used the lathe and the attachment method for the tang to the handle, that got my attention more. Thx!

[@KamalAdnanTheFirst]

I'm a simple man. I see BBP upload a video, I click.

[@paulineo4055]

Thats me

[@howtorestore]

Your work is really great and I enjoy watching your videos. Congratulations to you

[@iraqyaseen8643]

Hi I'm from iraq and love what you do Keep going . Best wishes

[@maxisaez20]

Excellent. I loved what you do with the coin. Looks fantastic.

[@davidortegaeusebio373]

you always manage to surprise me ... always something new and different ... Thank you

[@francowharton4484]

That poor little tang!

[@ivanipang5948]

problm tang lol

[@rainerzufall689]

I don't know... The handle doesn't really impress me.

[@teknoatolyem314]

you know this job bro

[@the_monke0302]

Well done on the handle

[@rraamuco]

Coin trick is insanely beautiful ❤️

[@joellinker9899]

Beautiful work! I really admire your abilities and skills. Video had great pacing.

[@borysnijinski331]

Edge of the blade is ruined by dry grinding...heat buildup softens the metal and will not keep an edge very well or for very long. Will require frequent sharpening to keep the edge sharp.

[@ScrewsAndTools]

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing.

[@linda54wood]

That is awesome. I kept thinking you'd inlay that 100 plug from the center of the coin, into the butt of the handle though. Would have been nice finishing touch.

[@stormkhan4250]

Yes, that would have been a nice touch except that the disc he punched out of the coin centre is probably mashed beyond remaining aesthetically pleasing...oh well.

[@j.iturburu]

Felicitaciones, un trabajo prolijo, delicado y de una calidad impresionante. Muchas gracias por mostrar su habilidad.

[@joshuahauser9050]

Love the coin ring addition!

[@ronaldboyer5820]

I agree. Coin band was a nice touch. Like to c one done with a walking libery.

[@OrinderElf]

That thing you did with the coin... awesome!

[@CoolAgainRestoration]

Nice wooden choices 😍

[@NoMoreCandies]

this is a great restaration, no epoxy , congratulations!

[@sailingshadowfax7518]

Good LORD, that knife is amazing. Beautiful work.

[@shadowfang269]

always such a joy to watch you work. very satisfying video.

[@biddlybongdavinport5995]

Incredible workmanship.👍

[@MrScythe1981]

OMG that coin re purposing was love to watch

[@scubaguy007]

That’s a hell of a knife to slice tomato’s with. 😉

[@jpanici]

Was that some kind of pumpkin tomato? 😂 👍

[@theoneandonlyowl3764]

Lovely work and a knife many would love to own, me included. I like the use or the ring stretcher, or whatever it's called. I have a silver ring myself that is made from a coin, but differently. I like the way you did it. Loved the video.

[@sperber-knives]

That handle is stunning !! Greate work bro !

[@robertgray9802]

Another wonderful work of art you just created

[@theriversexperience9383]

I keep telling my self that I need to do one of these videos. This one turned out pretty cool.

[@Flying0Dismount]

Sorry, round handles do not belong on knives.. Save the round handles for other tools. Bladed tools need a handle shape that helps the user identify edge alignment and also keeps the tool from sliding out of their hand.

[@KeesLego]

true

[@chuque6186]

With a kitchen knife that has a big heel like that it shouldn’t be too bad, you should be using a pinch grip anyway. But I agree, as soon as you get out of pinch grip that handle is useless for edge alignment.

[@juliannabailey8602]

The knife is probably just for show but that is true

[@jokinabadsbs]

Tell that to the thousands of cleavers made even today with a round handle.

[@mitchmurrell753]

Japanese put round handles on all serious kitchen ware. He just pulled off a lovely glowup!

[@restorationmt6286]

Your recovery skills are too good a nice knife

[@BrothersMake]

This is stunning, man!

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

thanks for sharing those tips, nice Technic!

[@chriswenkle2635]

Brilliant! Plus you always have the nicest tomato's on your videos.

[@Smallathe]

Very cute coin bushing. Loved the handle too - birch and ? Wonderful work, as always... :)

Lucky guy. You have so many different useful tools

[@basismac2578]

Coin part is pretty cool .. 👍👍

[@deltoid4]

Loved the trick with the coin

[@Shep01]

Ok the thing with punching a coin was plainly amazing

[@maryheron7871]

Love what you did with the coin.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister beautiful restoration professional job well done

[@sroosh.behzadi]

dude i was woundering, why not build a ring outta a coin. you are GOOD!!!✌🏽 keep up the good work man. love your videos

[@argagethuk7406]

Finally restorarion again.. And like usually. Very lovely works. Nice sir

[@RandomEngineer]

Really Amazing Restoration Bro.Enjoyed alot.Hope you also enjoy during restoring it.

[@Traderjoe]

Really nice! I do think that you’d get better slicing performance with a full flat grind rather than the bevel you did on this one. But I understand the aesthetics of why you did it

[@StephenZura]

It's a great knife! One thing I think would be a nice touch would be if you had put the punched out part of the coin with the 100 facing out at the bottom of the handle.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome restoration !!!!!!!!!!

[@yeagerxp]

Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing

[@awworkshop3936]

Love your restoration 😍

[@brianmyers13]

One pin, not even secured, to hold it together? Is that some kind of next level knife making?

[@thewolfin]

Fine for kitchen use but yeah, wouldn't stand up to a brutal test.

[@suicidalhamster73]

I wouldnt use it for kitchen use, there is no sealant in the tang. You would have to pull it right apart every day to clean it

[@josedivino9632]

Linda... E o detalhe da moeda foi um belo toque, parabéns

[@oxar050]

This man just quickly makes The One Ring to put on his knife

[@forestlampcraft472]

Super!

[@TacticalDraws]

Very satisfying work, congrats.

[@bewilderbeastie8899]

Thank you for leaving all the pitting in the blade. I get sad when people remove all the age and character from old blades.

[@grs6262]

Mixed feelings on that.. but somehow the contrast is disconcerting to me..but then it is just me

[@sonyhk3824]

Great job. You have a wonderful tools n skills

[@descopeaux5424]

magnifique !!! et la transformation de la piece de monnaie c est top et ca apporte un vrai plus au manche.... bravo
