Rusty Butcher's Cleaver Knife Restoration

[@tfdmccullough]

handles look like mahogany

[@reddogknives]

Definitely not mahogany

[@PhilippSpõrl]

Es ist Buche.

[@vettper]

Something about these videos makes feel soo relaxed. Nice clear video with no unnecessary talking and good info when you use products to help restore.

[@Bumblebeady]

What I like about this video is that not everything goes completely perfectly, but you just roll with it and still come out with a beautiful product. Well done!

[@Shadowsofinkprojects]

Looking on Craigslist earlier today I see a vintage cleaver I think I might want to purchase and make my first attempt at restoring. Imagine my utter shock when I open KZbin and see in my suggested videos a video of someone restoring THE EXACT SAME CLEAVER.

[@IronManRestoration]

Where did you see?

[@Shadowsofinkprojects]

@@IronManRestoration it was in Michigan, USA

[@erics.629]

Yep...I was right, beautiful workmanship as usual. But why you would use a hacksaw to cut wood when it seems like you have every tool/piece of equipment known to man and know it's wrong is actually very funny and definitely adds to the video. But I guess you had your reason.

[@fomikon]

Fetish

[@jonathanthomas8426]

A brass cap on the handle would have finished that off a treat , lovely looking piece nice work.👍

[@scotthill6807]

Wood looked like Cherry or Red Oak. Came out nice, enjoyed it.

[@budman123052]

The outcome is what counts... Looks great!!

[@pusmeongmeong5200]

awesome... thanks for no music 👍👍👍

[@Schm1dtstorm]

Anyone else terrified he was going to lose a thumb while cutting the rivets?

[@IronManRestoration]

Colin Schmidt no

Hi🚭🚬😎👍👌🤙🤟🤘⚓

[@MovieGuy666]

yep... only a idiot keeps his thumb out like that.

[@kkygeek]

You're really full of tricks!

[@pentoxide]

Actually the best Restoration Channel

[@Josef_R]

You haven't seen "my mechanics?" More attention to detail there.

[@mccornchip]

Agree with My Mechanics, also Hand Tool Rescue for more mechanical restorations.

[@J.C.M.D]

Please use protection gloves, security first, btw excellent work, amigo!

[@duckilla1290]

“Hacksaw is not ideal for cuting wood“ Literally 3 seconds late he is using a band saw

[@thomasteniente5209]

Duckilla 12 the only reason a hack saw is not good for wood is Bc the teeth are so small. Bandsaws have larger teeth and they move much faster. And are also easier to make precise cuts with

[@xXHaloOshiXx]

Yes but couldn't he have just used the bandsaw to cut the wood instead of hacksaw?

[@thomasteniente5209]

Hala Al-Hadeethi he probably could have unless that board was too long to cut comfortably with the bandsaw.

[@xXHaloOshiXx]

@@thomasteniente5209 fair enough!

[@ErikDeckers]

@@xXHaloOshiXx I thought the same thing.

[@generalphrenic]

Very nice and clean job!!!

[@tctc8578]

Turned out great! Top craftsmanship again!!

[@daveys]

Top job!

[@erics.629]

I actually have to comment before watching because I'm thinking what is he going to do with that mess! But I'm sure it will be a beautiful piece of workmanship! Can't wait till the end!

[@Highlordratick]

Like my Grandfather always said no such thing as the wrong tool if it gets the job done.

[@IronManRestoration]

Highlordratick your grandfather said true

[@Frankowillo]

Your grandfather was a fucking idiot! That's why someone coined the phrase: "The right tool for the right job".

[@derrickcordick1315]

Well done looks great

[@garyjones7198]

Very nicely done.. those handles turned out beautiful...

[@arjnsdca]

Fantastic restoration

[@tommyhill199]

Solid work. The camera work was clean, nicely edited, you used electrolysis (always a fan favorite), the handle turned out well. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Side note: you're talented enough, throw in a curve ball video every once in awhile. Something that is completely unlike the others. Be bold. But keep it coming with the usual stuff. I have needs.

[@markschwegler1100]

Pretty nice! Ready to use one more!

[@michaelbatts5655]

Great restoration! I am going to take a wild stab at this and say that it is either maple or mahogany

[@forestfoodkitchen8319]

Finish is great!

[@markharris5771]

I really liked how you were willing to change tools shaping the handle and admit that your first choice might not have been the best. Also an ex chef for 20+ years I’m even more pleased to see someone call a meat cleaver a meat cleaver. Personally I like some curve on my blade but not quite as much as you have here. I like to be able to nick a cutlet but also separate a loin of beef on the bone. But that’s very subjective, a brilliant restoration, very well done.

[@tntchitwood]

Good job man.

[@IronManRestoration]

Tom Chitwood yes

[@drucker03]

I'm happy that you are not one of those restorers who feel the inner urge to mirror polish every piece of metal they see.

[@katiebellmichelle]

Fantastic job it looks great 👍🏻

[@GT_Racer347]

Good choice, well done. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@specwill1]

Really nice 👍 love the handle

[@midei]

Beautiful video. Looking forward to new projects like this.

[@gar2159]

midei my friend I have one yes like it alI find on old house

[@theabsurd9416]

I love these.

[@mattben2215]

It js my belief that while the restoration vids are quite awesome, some of these guys purposely get their stuff rusty juat to use in the vids. Ffs guys it doesnt have to be rusty in order to need a restoration

[@danilko1]

Ha, you got me to subscribe. Some of your restorations are something else, but I like where you are going. I see you are learning, along with the rest of us. For instance the handle, you took the time to grind off the brass rods and shape the wood, but ended up cutting a taper on the band saw and cut all that work off anyway. ??? Also, as an aspect to restoration is duplicating some of the methods used to make the peace in the first place, along with eliminating some of the ridiculous bits. You did good tossing the collar, but you didn't "rivet" the brass pins. The spreading out the ends before grinding them smooth will prevent them from working them selves out. Also the gap in the wood long the tang, I would thing filling with epoxy could help protect the metal underneath the wood, from rusting in the future.

[@jamesmacmillan6313]

Very nice...

[@jaysyliboy4050]

So there’s really not going to be a paper test ok

[@noteworthy227]

Because it wouldn't cut it lol

[@mookystank]

6:32 That oil can is named Gary. 9:59 And so were those clamps! Man this guy likes naming a lot of things "Gary."

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Nice work as always🙂👍🏼

[@sebastianl.6984]

Impressive

[@nichole7965]

Very nice!

[@adrian1781]

Amazing work!!!

[@BrookstonHoliday]

Have you considered using a spoke shave to save time shaping the handles on your restorations? Probably save time and sand paper.

[@lightning4871]

Good job!

[@cciccone61]

Masterful.

[@christopherbastas934]

Been looking for a good heavy cleaver with a large handle for a minute. They sure don't make them like they used to. Even the German ones feel like they're made for guys who wear medium sized gloves.

[@chrislaveen543]

Looks to me like red oak. You could have countersunk those rivet holes on the handle for security..Nice job overall.

[@laurityrrell758]

Are you kidding me? That was ridiculously cool

[@Jack_Jack7183]

uh.... duh, its tree wood!

[@hoangquanle3310]

7:45 u don have a wood saw or somtin?

[@Eboness]

If he did, don't you think he would have used it?

[@lsbrother]

well he did have "somtin"

[@mukaiba1]

Great work! Why no heat treatment?

[@barbmcconnaughey3070]

Are you restoring these as decorative pieces, or do you intend them to be used? Are you using food safe materials?

[@АлександрТрушляков-ж4л]

В идеале не хватает рисунка, травлением ! Лайк !

[@jmavproductions]

Is the handle cedar? Also if you're local to the Philly are I'd love to film and interview you for a cool piece.

[@reddogknives]

The handle is not cedar, probably more like red oak.

[@phillbanks4103]

Dude how can you not have a saw? I don’t have half the things you have but I have a saw, it’s one of the very basic tools along with the hammer, screwdrivers and a pencil

[@vladimirbrkusanin3581]

Good job, Beautiful satin finish on the blade...New scales are ok but.... Why you didn't put te bolster back?If you restoring something you need to do this like it was....And the clever had to have a square tip,the round tip that it have is from lot of years of use and abuse.... I was enjoying your video and its a good job!

Gangs of New York

[@IronManRestoration]

Who Dat Dude? Where is it?

[@ShannonSouthAfrica]

Why didn't you use the power saw instead of the hacksaw to cut the wood?

[@banditva8040]

What did you use on sand marks on metal handle

[@sergej247]

Что помешало поставить защитный колпак обратно?

[@ДмитрийПушкин-б8е]

Забыл наверное.

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

Should’ve polished it to mirror shine

[@fragx7642]

Amazing restoration! And i think its beech wood.

[@aac9258]

I also think that it's Beechwood. A good guess.

[@Frankowillo]

A Rebuild, not a Restoration!

[@kevinmarrett9532]

A question I've had but never asked on many knife restoration videos is: if you're going to grind the blade down past all the pitting anyway, why bother with the electric de-rusting?

[@RestorationStation]

Good question that I've never been asked. Rust wears down your sandpaper/whatever abrasive you're using much quicker. It's much easier in my experience to remove the rust before doing any sanding or grinding.

[@tonimartins7756]

Good

[@gayle525]

Is the wood quarter sawn oak?

[@IronManRestoration]

gayle525 pain not oak

[@digede28]

Great video :) :) :) Iron wood :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[@escapefromtokeov2333]

bro I will go to the dollar store and buy you a cheap hand saw lol

[@IronManRestoration]

m t where is that store

[@joannebalzano5212]

Do you sell them I am looking for one?

[@amyrousu653]

cedar wood? or else basswood

[@Kris5344]

I know that pain when your shop is set up for wrong type of material... 99% of what I work with is wood and each time I have to do something with metal improvisation starts.

[@terry2346]

Wood looks like Philippine mahogany

[@joshmyers2873]

That looks like red oak to me.

[@viktorwilms1905]

Кто мне объяснит,для чего отверстие в лезвии?

[@richardharepax123]

My guess would have been oak but from the first comment I'm wrong mahogany must be the right one. As someone who works in a kitchen before is a travesty of Justice to those who love to cook and eat

[@JeffreyGroves]

Cherry wood?

[@nitrofun9559]

Wow

[@fisherman3720]

That's Oak.

[@reddogknives]

I agree, but is it red oak or White Oak? White Oak is a closed grain, Red Oak is open grain . I suspect Red Oak, being that the rays are short.

[@lsbrother]

If you are going to wire brush and grind away at the surface - what's the point of the electro-chemical treatment - surely 10 secs with the wire brush and all the rust will be off anyway?

[@nasranim]

old handle is oak wood - new handle is beech wood

[@D100janovski]

i think the handle is Beech

[@mccornchip]

Wood might be cherry. Linsed oil is Poisonous, you should have used mineral or olive oil for the wood finish - non-toxic for food prep.

[@drucker03]

No, linseed oil isn't poisonous at all. For example in Austria or in the eastern states of Germany it is frequently used in the kitchen. A typical simple dish could be peeled jacket potatoes with cream cheese and linseed oil.

[@FirstnameLastname-zb7hd]

it looks like ceder

[@Heymrk]

I think the difficulty you had in cutting the wood was karma for destroying that beautiful original handle.

[@warrencarnright3747]

Where's the top cap ?... no !

[@lancemitchell7883]

It would have been helpful if you had mentioned what grits you were using while hand sanding and polishing. Some of us are new to all this. Enjoyable all the same.

[@subjectdelta4949]

How many times did you get hurt in this video

[@JeffreyGroves]

3M blue masking tape needed.

[@IronManRestoration]

Jeff Groves can I give you

[@rogeriosartori555]

Nice job but as you did not gave the blade the appropriate heat treatment sorry to inform you have failed on your first knife. This is completely necessary due to all that grinding...

[@peepers4763]

Rogerio Sartori nice to know that new heat treatment would have required, learned something new! I was more interested in the edge. Couldn’t tell if it was sharp enough for the kitchen. Happy to see this cleaver brought back to life.
