Old Hickory Butcher Knife Restore. Part 2 of 2

This is the 2nd part of a 2 part series restoring a very old "Old Hickory" butcher knife.
I found out that Old Hickory does not epoxy their handles on. They just use rivets. This knife was so old and in bad shape that the scales were starting to pull away from the tang of the knife.
After I buffed the blade I wire wheeled the tang so the epoxy would adhere better to the knife and scales.
I used the original scales and tried to leave the original name in the handle.
After I sharpened the knife and leather stropped it I coated the wood scales in Tung Oil.

I like you konten,,,am Indonesia

Glad I found your video. Mom had a set of 4 Old Hickory knives that have been below her sink in the kitchen, since the late 60's, still in the wall hung butchers block. The corrosion are mostly in the tips, but like in your disclaimer, the scales have separated from the tang on the 8" chefs knife and 8" carving knife, with warps on both blades. This will give me a fun project to work on, thank you for the video and that knife turned out great!

Great job

[@andrewgrygier2805]

I am glad I sall your video because I have the same knife. That I found today while taking apart a old shed. That someone was living in but they died. A long time ago.

So you epoxyed the handle back to the tang?

[@johnw.carson6989]

Please tell about the sharpening jig - was it made by you?

[@johnjomp]

I guess I missed the part where you put the rivets in the handle.

[@jdmDC2ftw]

Your sharping jig looks cool. From just the video, the angle looks too big?? And wouldn't it prematurely wear your stones bc it's only being used in the middle? Nice restoration!

[@tourmalines]

what did you use on the handle to finish?
