Rusted Butcher Knife Restoration

Restoration of this good old rusty cleaver didn't go as smoothly as I hoped. The plan was to save wooden scales and combine additional materials, but it was so brittle that old cracks just snapped all the way. Therefore I had to make new wooden scales, and for that I used mahogany wood.

What a beautiful transformation. Especially love this channel because of the tools and "elbow grease" that are used. Watching your video is a great way to start my week. Thank you for posting and look forward to your next one. 👍

[@FFD_Restorations]

Awesome! I am happy to hear that! Thank you!

literally handmade, even the machines, congratulations friend great work

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thank you so much my friend!

[@PatNetherlander]

Now that’s a cleaver I would USE! And treat with respect as well! Job well done Boris!

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thank you so much Pat, much appreciated!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

I really liked the way you used the copper pipe on these scales! I'm totally going to steal that idea

[@FFD_Restorations]

Awesome, go for it 👍 Thanks for watching Grant 🍻

[@annkoehler8017]

Oh my goodness! So well done, and without ANY electrically powered tools! Wonderful craftsmanship! You have a new subscriber!!!

[@FFD_Restorations]

Many thanks again 🙏

Hello. There are very many cleaver restorations on KZbin but i still enjoy watching quality restorations like this. You do it with respect for the tool.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@FFD_Restorations]

My pleasure, thank you for taking time to watch my video sir!

[@kylecorey1436]

I've watched a lot if knife restoration videos in the past 2 months, and I have to give you kudos. Restoring a knife correctly is a bit of work with modern tools... doing so with NO power tools is legendary! Hats off to you good sir!

[@raughboy188]

I forgot to mention last time when i commented what is your channel about probably the most important reason why are you doing restorations by hand and to you and me it's a lot of fun doing it hard way however others probably don't share yours and mine opinion. Nicely done!

[@FFD_Restorations]

No worries, thank you for understanding and reading about page. The reason is very simple but many can't understand it unfortunately. You would be surprised how much time I spent removing hate comments. Some of them where quite extreme. But on the other hand there is a lot of wonderful people like you to support this channel and help me to make new videos! Thank you for that, much appreciated! Take care!

[@eddiecolon3941]

Hello Boris , thanks for another video. Beautiful looking cleaver. You inspire me to start my own little workshop. I have the tools but I don't have the space. I'm sure your grandfather in heaven is very proud of you.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Hey Eddie! That is wonderful to hear. I started in a small room in the apartment and after some time I was fortunate to have a bigger space. Start to work on things that you can manage in the smallest possible space and go from there. After no time you will figure it out I am sure 😉

Been quite some time since I watched your videos. Always good to be back. I noticed a lot of upgrade in your workshop. Really proud of how far you've come. Kinda miss the old workshop. Probably because I like things minimal. But loving your work anyways. Hope you're doing great, Boris!

[@FFD_Restorations]

[@lizardhollow]

Wow! Again I am so impressed at what you can do with rusty pitted metal and only hand tools! The shine and look is amazing. Great job. Sorry about your accident… I’m so prone to do that and always keep bandaids handy.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Hey Kathy, thank you so much 😃👍 I probably should stick to smaller metal surfaces, cleaver is maybe a bit much for this setup. After this injury, I will keep a few bandaids in the shop. Thanks for mentioning it 👍

Good job, as always...lots of patience and effort...paid off, no question. 1 thing...what were you striking the rivetting hammer with? I ask because you should never strike 2 hammers face to face...there is a great risk of splintering...sharp shards of steel at very high speeds...VERY dangerous. Just in case...

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thank you Patrick! I used two hammers (8oz each). I have never experienced that before, it is great that you mentioned it. Thank you. I will pay attention to that next time 👍 Take care!

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

@@FFD_Restorations -- Excellent, thanks!! Wow 320 to 420 years old!! It's a very unique anvil. It has a very broad base parallel with the face. This is good because it keeps a lot of mass under most of the anvils working surface . Just imagine all the work that has been done on this anvil. You're very luck to find such a great tool of history!!

Борис,привет тебе из России.Хотел бы узнать что это за дерево,которое ты использовал для накладок?У меня есть кухонный топорик с накладками из такого же дерева.Название дерева я не знаю,но достал я его на работе.К нам привозили дорогие детали на паллетах,а паллет и был сколочен из такого дерева.Когда распиливали на пиле,то оставались такие же чёрные круги и такое дерево ни с чем не спутаешь,очень плотная древесина
