Old Rusty SUJIHIKI knife restoration.

Today there is a new addition to my knife collection. This is an old rusty sujihiki knife. If I am not mistaken, it is made in China from Japanese steel. If I'm wrong, I'd be happy to read your opinion in the comments.
In this video I will try to bring it back to life.

One of the best Japanese knife restoration videos I've seen.

[@johnrudy9404]

Really brought it back to life. Only really three tools needed in the kitchen, A sharp, good quality knife and your two hands.

[@LadyLeigh]

Beautiful knife restoration. I love the handle! What kind of wood is it? Is it from a Japanese tree?

[@amitbhattachariya9357]

A beautiful knife is in the making. You are a Genius.

[@brenttaylor6395]

Very interesting Old Rusty. I was intrigued by several of your techniques but when you attached the handles to the blade I was amazed to see you keep the integrity of the knife by not slathering everything in epoxy and clamping like so many artisans do. I liked the quality and craftmanship of measuring and counter-sinking the Chicago rivets. They look like they will last a life-time. I also noted a very handsome dog in one of your shots found elsewhere on your site. A dog guy is okay in my books! Kudos

[@skiendhiu]

Very nice, glad I saw this, well done, am subscribed now. Thanks

[@Nate65Dawg]

Came out nicely!

[@simonboyden7868]

Outstanding work absolutely gorgeous and ready for a few more years

[@davidtatro7457]

Excellent job, especially on the handle.

[@hobbes2555]

when I saw the tiny anvil at 3:05, all I could think of is "who's a big boy? yes you are!"

[@derrickcordick1315]

Beautiful job love the handle

[@leongiblin]

Love these videos so much! Beautiful work.

[@tctc8578]

Beautiful restoration, you paid homage to it my friend! That’s a stunning grain in the wood too. 👍👏🙏

[@mitchmurrell753]

Frighteningly sharp. Fabulous turnaround on one that was unusable

[@brucevodka]

Fantastic!! Great work!!!

[@kazuwilliams5222]

I just completed one of these for a friend's mom. It was wonderful to see how you work on the knife and scales. I learned a lot and hope to find another old rusty.

[@OldRusty]

I'm glad I was able to be useful.

[@Danielson1818]

Jealous. I've been trying to find an older piece to work on, but I never come across this stuff. I just keep working on new stuff.

[@duaneho555]

Outstanding video. Thanks.

[@louisinderchit5793]

Bravo, absolument magnifique 😊

[@diyresttube]

Good job there buddy..nice restoration.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister beautiful restoration good job well done

[@HelloAdam_]

That turned out incredible, really good work! I love those Shinto rasps for handle profiling, so much better to work with. Need to get myself one of those mini anvils as well, they’re great! 👏

[@dougieranger]

Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@بسامبسام-ه6ث]

Good very good 👏👏🌹🍀🌹

[@damiennofx]

that handle was fantastic

[@RetroRecipesKitchen]

Hey! I'm so sorry if this has been answered in other videos. Can you briefly explain the mason jar process? What is the liquid, perhaps how long is it resting in the jar? This is amazing and I'm going down a rabbit hole haha. I want to restore my family's 12" knife that looks like this one with the rust! Great work!

[@OldRusty]

try google cactus juice stabilizing resin

[@blackmamba3427]

Awesome video

[@RestorationAustralia]

Nicely done.😊

[@mollyrazormillions]

Great work. Probably tone down those sharp and loud knife sharpening sounds next time, because it really makes the hair stand up on my back 😶‍🌫

[@sergiov9276]

Fabuloso

[@ericfg806]

Nice job. Please identify in future vids the liquids used (vinegar and ?(for the scales) in this vid) and also the grit progression during polishing. Also, for anyone wondering the fasteners OP made are readily available and are know as 'corby bolts'.

[@OldRusty]

Thanks for the good advice. Special thanks for the "corby bolts" I was embarrassed to not know what they are called.

[@ICU2B4UDO]

Damn!! Well done lad!! Subbed!

[@ОксанаКорсакова-в5б]

Отличная работа! Подписка.

[@romeoalfa1414]

cute & sharp ...

[@Sewermonger]

Where did you get that sandpaper sanding block? I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

[@bedallsmith190]

What was that green stuff you were polishing the blade with?

[@eddys.3524]

Nice video and a beautiful result. To me it appeared you impregnated the wood for the handle by a vacuum process. With what substance did you impregnate the wood? Was it an oil or something else?

[@OldRusty]

Hi, thanks for the review. This is a special compound for curing wood and not only wood. It penetrates very deeply into the pores and becomes fall resistant when heated to 90 degrees Celsius.

[@vincentcocuzza8679]

Awesome videos you make man!! I have a question, where do you get all these old knives ect from? I would love to find a old Japanese blade and try to restore it

[@brettweide7572]

Can you share where you purchased the knife.

[@CrimeVid]

Nice !

[@apocalypseee4312]

superbe

[@MrLezhenin]

Ты что сделал с моим пониманием о заточке? Как я теперь буду жить? Очень крутая работа! Я кайфанул! Спасибо

[@estebanbellegarde5811]

(Google Translate) Excellent work. Your wisdom on the subject and your skill is wonderful. I would like to know what products you used, for the blade and for the handle. I mean liquids and products. Thank you so much!!!

[@markneo1]

BRAVO!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@bobbagadonuts4365]

Nice restoration, but aren't Japanese knives of that shape/length only supposed to have one bevel? Looks like you but 2 on.

[@KrispyBizcut]

I've watched 3 of your videos in a row and I must say... you're fuckin good brother!!! I know it's not much but you got yourself a new subscriber!!! Now we just need some new videos!!!

[@hallur7523]

Beautifully made! How much would you charge for a knife like that ?

Thanks for the interesting information.

[@petenikolic5244]

What is the wood you use on the handles .

[@Daniel-tg8wm]

nice

[@biscuitkitchentnives]

What kind of sand paper holder is that?

[@OldRusty]

Printed on a 3d printer. The model can be found here- www.thingiverse.com/thing:2846241

[@taragorm0666]

Нож бомба. Но на клинке лучше бы смотрелся сатин. А на рукояти под накладками остались ржавые раковины и там быстро будет ржаветь

[@hanikaram3351]

where do you find all these knives

[@OldRusty]

Auctions and flea markets :)

[@sebastiaoprudencio6859]

👏👏👏

[@AT-fi9dj]

What kind of wood is that?

[@OldRusty]

Betula pendula var. carelica

[@helgehansen3746]

Where do you get the knifes?

[@OldRusty]

I usually look at auctions or flea markets. This knife and about 15 other knives were successfully won in a wholesale auction.

[@budgreenjeans]

vinegar ?

[@OldRusty]

Yes

[@JohnDoe-zw8vx]

@@OldRusty why? I've seen it done before but no explanation.

[@OldRusty]

@@JohnDoe-zw8vx Vinegar is good for softening rust. I tried to remove the rust immediately by mechanical means, but it's much easier with vinegar.

[@budgreenjeans]

@Old Rusty thank you @ John Doe soak overnight the rust just fell off of a high carbon blade

[@JohnDoe-zw8vx]

@@budgreenjeans my mistake. I thought it was vinegar the wood was vacuum sealed with and then baked. That process (and liquid) are my confusion.

[@jongirolami4978]

Might want to have the blade pointing down in the vise next time.

that's not a sujihiki that's a gyuto😊

[@MaksimSidenko-t2s]

Привет! Где ты такую ржавчину покупаешь? Я тоже хочу! Раскрой секрет, плиз!

[@user-lastoutlaw]

у меня был похожий нож СССР с отломанным кончиком, я сделал из него японский, могу выслать фото.

[@OldRusty]

Спасибо за то что поделился фото, Выглядит неплохо, осталось отполировать режущую часть, - будет еще красивее.👍

[@user-lastoutlaw]

@@OldRusty я не очень люблю полированные клинки, предпочитаю под кузницу) лезвие 1.9мм, убрать раковины, получится фольга) да и углеродка все равно потемнеет. удачи !

[@OldRusty]

​@@user-lastoutlaw Я не говорю о полировке всего клинка (он выглядит отлично), а только заточенного края, просто на фото он выглядит необработанным... Может это просто фото конечно. А так да, углеродка склонна к потемнению при любой возможности.

[@user-lastoutlaw]

@@OldRusty я понял, я намеренно не убираю следы обработки, мне ближе брутальная эстетика в ножах... зеркальная полировка это не мое, для чего? к тому же, из инструментов у меня наждак, болгарка и прочие мелочи) все делаю на балконе) но РК довожу тщательно, советской алмазной пастой.

[@castibegediniz4493]

👍🇧🇷

[@Mangsaab1954]

Erotically sharp! When steel quality and honing angle join at the sweet spot to make a superb blade.

[@helgeo.sommer584]

[@user-spices]

🙆‍♂️👋🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍

[@ishtopor]

Мужик, ну ты ж видео снимаешь на вроде как большую аудиторию. Ну замени ты этот лоскут из семейных трусов на кусок фибры из ближайшего супермаркета, дел на три копейки, а впечатление вот на таких мелочах кардинально же другое =)

[@OldRusty]

Ты прав, трусы сменил на кожанные... дальше в видео видно..

[@jmbstudio6873]

Should have used the original wood. Just saying. This looks identical to Japanese knife vid. Yawn. It looks like you are more interested in making handles than restoring knives.

[@BoatLoad-o5z]

Asian knifes are ugly, can't they come up with better shapes

[@ryanwright5160]

that was pretty sick !!!
