Young Man I agree with You... Men get off that couch and stop sitting on Your AS?.. because this fellow just showed You what Yoh can do if You put Your mind to it. I love his no quit attitude and because of it finished a true perfection restoration of an old Japanese knife..,,,, my hat is off to You for a superb job. Keep it up and maybe You can get the other men up.

Making a video on KZbin isn't doing anything productive, making a video on KZbin and getting paid is called free money money that you didn't work for,

@@oyesimon8112 Right? the same goes for writing software, or literature, or research, or digital artwork you didnt do anything you dont deserve to make any money from it. There should be no money in instruction, entertainment, or anything not physically tangable to the person viewing it.

But he did this awesome knife restoration while sitting his ass on the couch!

[@johnksa4973]

When working on a Japanese style knife with a flat side and a beveled side, the thing to keep in mind is that there really isn't a flat side. The urasuki & uraoshi combine to make the blade cut more effectively. The urasuki is a slight concavity in the "flat" side of the blade that reduces friction and helps keep food slices from sticking to the knife.

[@Makermook]

The concavity on the "flat" side also aids in sharpening.

[@markharris5771]

Very well done indeed! A great restoration and your jokes were so bad I had to chuckle. I also like the fact you left the bits in where it went wrong.

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks, Mark!

[@mitchmurrell753]

Wish the original handle could have been reused. Your lucky to have that my friend.

[@Take_And_Make]

Thank you

[@pierrerossouw6083]

Awesome. My first restoration took more than 6 months. Every square cm I got right just made the rest look even worse. It takes on a life of its own. Then the sharpening - something else that can take a lifetime to master. Restoring a Yanagi-ba now; two months in, fingers raw. I thank the universe for every knife that is saved. Thank you for sharing!

Wow, this is amazing. I really admire your work ethic and craftsmanship. I’m currently in high school and I just started my own knife restoration project because I’ve been interested in doing something like this for a while. Could you give me some tips on restoring old tools? What types of wood would you recommend using for creating a new handle? Finally, what tools should I use in the process. Thanks so much!

[@alex-_-w]

The black and blue layers in the handle looks just amazing. Great work!!!

[@Take_And_Make]

Alex W Thanks a lot, Alex!

[@andrewmcgibbon9785]

This is how most people get started knife making. Rehandling an old knife or making a handle for a blade they bought from a knife making supply company like Jantz or USA knife. Generally, you don't shape the handle until after you have it glued to the tang. If you make the handle oversized, you don't run into the problem of the hole being off center.

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

Beautiful knife and now it has a handle that's just as beautiful! Great Job!

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks, Greg!

[@gaylenstone9329]

Keeping the art of using hand tools and not depending on modern tech for things like this is awesome. Never know, one day those modern tools might be all gone, or not work anymore. As to the restoration, its BEAUTIFUL. Such a great job on that, i loved the look of the handle at the end. Amazing what a little patience and work can achieve. Congratulations on such a nice knife.

[@Take_And_Make]

Thank you very much!

[@slvstorky2]

Beautiful! And I can’t agree with you more. No one has an excuse not to get off the couch and do something! By the way, I love your sense of humor!

[@1998TDM]

Unbelievable! I just clicked on youtube after spending an hour on my Deba and this is recommended. I feels. My knife was used as a garden trowel for years, handle full of crap, tip of the blade snapped and edge saw toothed. It's taken me 4 years to get it looking and working like a Deba again with sand paper and stones. I did not use power tools to avoid heat. Yeah, the steel is really hard, but beautiful. Any hoo, 8000 grit for the win and cool video, thank you.

Wow never seen this hardwork on other restoration video channels. Congrats brother

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks, bro!

[@MarcoGonzalez-ix2tp]

From this little line cook's perspective, I would say a Deba is basically a multi-use butcher's knife. Imagine a meat cleaver shaped like a kitchen knife. They're sturdy and built with that little stout groove on them to handle thick fish bones. They all taper off at the tip, however, so you can use them for small fish as well.

[@MarcoGonzalez-ix2tp]

So badass you restored an old school one though, in case you read this.

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks, Marco! I do read all my comments! And answer most of them.

[@jameswild8335]

Japanese handle maker here. drill the holes in the wood before shaping and glueing. Line up the holes with a dowel or something similar covered in beeswax so the epoxy doesn’t stick to it, just to keep the holes lined up when you epoxy

[@TommieG60]

Great job!!!

[@rollomaughfling380]

[@HKeitai]

If you just polished the backside, it's a job well done. In case you completely flattened the concave back, then you took the last bit of life that knife had. The concave backside is crucial for Japanese one sided knives. Awesome rhyme btw.

[@Take_And_Make]

It is still concaved yes! Thanks man!

Japanese style restoration... good job

[@Take_And_Make]

[@johntaylor346]

A 4 in 1 wood file makes handle shaping a bit easier. One of these days I'm going to make a Japanese style chefs knife full tang Osage orange. I made a bowie with that handle and Love the waxy feel of that wood. I only make hidden tang knives with bolsters front and aft. I peen the tang on the pommel bolster. Living in the Appalachian mountain area we are blessed by many hardwoods. We are mostly poor. I started with no power tools and a home made forge. Thank you for the video beautiful job and more power to you.

The issue with the epoxy is the smooth surface on the blue pieces. You need to rough it up by "scoring" it. Or use a different material that will bond better like blue wood. You can also dye your own wood if you like.

It is supposed to be concave on the back side. It is a single bevel fish knife. It is very important for this type of knife.

[@majr72]

Excellent video not everyone has a shop with band saws and a drill press.

[@Take_And_Make]

Exactly!

[@stevekonefal7990]

If you sold it,was it worth all that time?

[@Kolvert]

Hi, great first try. For what I've seen in hundreds of knife making vids, whenever they make a hidden tang handle, the drill the tang hole, attach it to the knife and mask the blade. Then they shape the handle profile so they make sure the handle is centered to the edge. That's how they get it dead centered in case the holes weren't properly made. :)

[@Take_And_Make]

Thanks a lot!

[@reybarrera9345]

A deba knife is supposed to concave on the back for easier sharpening without removing too much material. For those who did not know

[@tyronem.3413]

Do that's why they are concave, thanks.

[@robertreynolds1489]

They are a single beveled edge Japanese kitchen knives; there are many. Designed to provide a razor sharp edge for precision cuts i.e. the yanagiba (sashimi blade) and it's many varieties...all designs evolved over hundreds of years to dismantle anything and everything out of the sea. The concave back helps with an absolute straight back surface. HOWEVER, the Deba is a beast, and can be used as a stud finder with no damage to the geometry of the steel 👍😎
