Rare Double Cleaver [Black Blade With Kingwood Handle]

Anyone who likes old, rare things will love this restoration. I'm restoring an rare antique double cleaver! I have to work a lot on the lathe, grinding, drilling, thread cutting, working with chemicals and a lot more... I had to replace the old handle with a new one, this time made of kingwood. But I also worked with steel and brass. In the end, the antique cleaver will somehow look old and new! Stay tuned, and have fun watching!
▶ What did I do?! ◀
After dismantling the old, very rare hatchet, I placed the blade in a bath of rust remover. To prevent the blade from rusting, I treated it with iron(III)chloride. I made the new wooden handle out of kingwood and also made new caps out of brass. I made the entire handle on the lathe, so if you like working on the lathe, this is the project for you! Because I deliberately left the pitting, the double cleaver has a unique look, somehow new and old at the same time. With the knowledge that the wooden handle is made of “kingwood”, the unique cleaver immediately takes on a mystical character. I love it!
▶ Good to know ◀
I used the following tools: hammer, pin punch, box, rust remover, wire brush, belt sander, saw, center punch, cordless screwdriver, drill, tap, cutting oil spray, orbital sander, iron(III) chloride, steel wool, lathe, lathe chisel, center drill, boring bar, 1mm milling cutter, milling machine, sandpaper, tweezers, ruler, pencil, file, glue, isopropanol, cotton buds

I'm a traditionalist, so I'm glad that this wasn't titled as a restoration since many of the original parts were replaced with modified components.

[@jdean3305]

The screw not sitting flush would bother my OCD but the handle is beautiful and I love how you got the blade darkened. Greeat job.

[@Danielson1818]

I don't know if you've ever done any metal work, but him dipping it in the acid was the easiest thing he did on that build. It looks nice, but also it helps keep the steel from rusting. You don't even need the acid, because some people just use boiling vinegar, and it does the same thing after a few dips. I do it all the time.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much, I'm very happy if you like my videos!🐢

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

There was a reason why the original handle wasn’t round. An oval cross section in the handle allows the user to index it it their hand and know the direction of the blades without having to look at it. This blade is obviously to hang on a wall and will probably never see any practical use, but you should still understand a tool before “restoring” it. You also significantly weakened the handle by removing all that metal at the top, but again…wall hanging.

[@micgreenson7308]

Amazing Jeff

[@kemaldzinic-meyer9647]

Exactly my thoughts, nice skills but that clever will never be used as a tool again. His hollow handle is kept together only by that little screw. I have never seen a handle made like this honestly. But again, nice looking

[@itstricky73]

Bet you're fun at parties.

[@micgreenson7308]

@@itstricky73 at least my boy Jeff is interesting, you sound like one of them at a party everyone walks away from 🙃😉

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

It's incredibly easy to know the direction of the blades without looking at it. All you have to do is hold it and you can feel the direction the weight is pulling you. Weight distribution is how your brain knows how to orient your own body. Your brain is designed more for that than for touching.

[@harrygatto]

Nice restoration but I think the screwhead looks a little brutal, maybe better to have been a dome shape?

[@meganek0597]

Nah

[@jeffbaranowski6695]

I agree and I also feel the brass parts should be flush with the wood of the handle.

[@omarkennedy7056]

I would have loved to see so.e glue in the hole and then filed it flush with the end so it looks like nothings there

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

That's right, I admit that I actually had a completely different plan, I wanted to do away with the screw completely. But I liked it so much here that I left it.🐢

[@Devlington87]

Beautiful work. The original brass rings would have been heated and then shrunk onto the wood, causing interference fit. This could have been a stronger fastening than machining a solid billet and bonding the wood to the axe. Beautiful turning work though.

You got to respect both the modern and the older workmanship... Modern is beautiful, older is rustic... But older times they didn't have any power tools... It was all hand made... literally blood and sweat went into it.

[@darilynkrupp6309]

I had to look up king wood, it made a beautiful handle.

[@condar419]

I loved the result and truly admire your video 'style'; it's both clear/informative and, somehow, comforting to watch. I had never heard of kingwood and looked it up; it's a type of rosewood. Excellent grain.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you very much, it's great if you like it! The wood is really great and goes really well with brass...🐢

looks like the main body is wrought iron. the edges are probably high carbon steel forge welded on.

[@walnutt22]

Definitely. You can see the difference in sparks while he's grinding the top contour. I let out a "Nooo!" when he took an orbital sander to the grain of the wrought iron. Still turned out great.

[@user-lz7rv4so8p]

Я получил удовольствие наблюдая за работой профессионала😊

[@joshschneider9766]

ther reason it looks like wood is because that piece of metal was the result of folding and forge welding and stretching and repeating bunches of time, likely incorporating many recycled chips and maybe old nails or whatever. that looks a hell of a lot like pre industrial revolution forging to me. what a beauty. thanks for giving it that old shine back. definitely deserves it. as a hunter of elk and mule deer i would find this beastie incredibly useful.

[@ForgottenShineRestoration]

Thank you for your feedback, do you really think it's that old? 🐢

[@CaptainTwitchy]

If it’s old enough, it’s more likely that is a wrought iron body with hardenable steel forge welded onto the cutting edges. Wrought iron looks like wood grain, just as this one does.

Very attractive redone cleaver and very nicely done. I assume this is a display piece and not intended for use in the kitchen.
