Hey!!! If you want to know more about any particular process shown in this video be sure to check description, I always write a very detailed list of operations and product used. As well as links to related videos that cover specific topics like making mosaic pins or stabilize wood!
Wesley Bullock im not a blacksmith??? Why would i ever know any of these things??? Ive just never seen it done this way before so i was very confused but clearly this actual blacksmith knows what hes doing hence why hes doing it and not me?? Also i can say whatever tf i want on the internet??
I love watching tool restoration videos. Nothing better than seeing someone turn, what the vast majority of people would call trash, back into treasure.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Ahmed Mack i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
"we just gonna ignore" "anyone notice?" like he didn't put them in specifically to make a joke... goddamn... How much more thirsty are RUclips comments gonna get?
You do a really great job on your videos. 1) No distracting music 2) No unnecessary yakking 3) You show small pieces and other important things to your viewers using close-ups 4) No wasted time showing repetitive tasks....you show just enough to give us the idea and use faster speed to save time yet still show longer tasks I wish every RUclipsr did their videos this well.
What a work of art. Now I know - it’s not what you know that matters - if you don’t have the right tools it doesn’t matter. Thank you for sharing your time and skill with us. You are a true artist and master of skills.
When you started making the handle I was like what is he doing, how's he going to get the wood to fit in there after the metal is in place. Very nicely surprised, great work and it looks gorgeous.
@@mattperkins7038 I believe he used wood stabilizer and put it in a vacuum chamber to make sure it penetrates then cooked it to make sure the wood was dry.
You method for getting the epoxy into the mosaic pin tube is absolute genius. Your work that I've seen is absolutely outstanding. I'm still learning and finding my style and your channel is so helpful, so thank you for all your hard work and sharing things that were trade secrets 20 years ago.
I make knives & what this man did with the handle drove me crazy to only see what he completed & how. Wow! I liked the angled knife sharpener. Too many of us have pride not to use when we should. Super Job!
My thoughts exactly, the craftsmanship in the handle is beautiful and would go great with a steak- or butterknife design. For a chefknife at least I prefer sth more ergonomic like groves to prevent slipping backwards vor fowards. But to each his own.
@@Briguy1027 English is not my first language, what I meant with grooves is the handle Being thinner close to the blade and having a thicker part or knub at the end? You know sth that keeps your hand from sliding off the back. Like this images.app.goo.gl/WsCHJ3VaB26hoZyS8. The very square-ish shape makes the handle not very ergonomic.
I'm not even so worried about it not going with the blade, and although I like the profile with wood/steel/brass, it's just FAR too square for my taste. ergonomically and esthetically.
I love how you give new life to old tools and knives. You really have an eye to make thing's beautiful again. Next time I'm in Italy I'll give you visit.
i like that you didn't grind it down to a flat mirror finish like most people do, and left some of the old wear and pitting in there. still shows some history and character. nice job!
In my opinion the old knife has a nicely shaped handle, and therefore a restoration should have followed up on this. If you change the handle like here, then you ought to have used a lighter color kind of tree - oak perhaps - and not bronze metal. The bronze color doesn't end up well with the blade's color.
The blade is a joke because he didn't get rid of the pitting and deeper corrosion. It's one thing if it's going to be a "wall hanger" but entirely different if it is going to be used.
Mindblowing on so many levels. Your skills and how you know all these processes boggles me and I am an excellent self taught music reading musician and high end general building carpenter. Hats off!
@@mayachaoui814 I don't think porosity is the term. I'm thinkg bits of food can get deposited in the pits, allowing bacteria to grow right on the blade. It's use after that could be suspect.
ClapTrap I have a chefs knife with a Damascus blade but it doesn’t look like this guy’s. It’s more like, swirly and textured, but not pitted. I’ve never seen a chef’s knife like this used in cooking. I shall begin the hunt. Lol
Yeah, he needs to dremel those out. Too much focus on the handle and aesthetics. When I restore, I go for function. People that want a perfect looking blade should just buy a new knife. plus my 13 kiwi knife is sharper. Those push cuts look forward rough. Seems like the steel lost its temper from getting too hot on the belt sander and now its soft.
Respect !!! I had no idea it required so much work to make or restore a knife. I wish you had put subtitles in your video so that I would know the products you used during the restoration process but once again: bravo !
The handle was awsome, but the idea of the unfinished knife's body was aweful, I'm so sorry to tell you that, but that beautiful shiny handle deserved a super shiny steel Anyway and as always, you deserve our RESPECT!
Worth a lot more than 1€ now. Especially with the video documenting the resto. Nice work. It looks almost like there is a hamon where the edge of the blade has been hardened. Pretty cool.
Excellent proof that anyone with unlimited time and a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of power shop equipment and specialized hand tools can perform amazing things.
The stuff this guy has is around 6 grand max and this took him i would think 1 day for shock therpy and 1 day for the knife anything is possible you dont need extreme everything.
Given time what happens when you glue two unlike materials together that expand and contract at different rates? I've had this happen to chair seats even when the entire thing was oak. About all you can do is kept the blade cleaned with a damp cloth and oiled and never, ever, get the handle wet.
Normally I fast forward through the promotions, but your presentation was something that made me want to try the game. Good work and I wish you a lot of success in the future. I am goin to be a long time subscriber.
I know this is an old video but that is such a cool knife. I love seeing the pattern after the etching...makes me happy. I hope to make something as cool as this one day.
Wonderful work. It's always interesting to see the unique ways in which you finish your handles. Beautiful and functional. Anyone could see that at one point that knife was treasured and will be again now.
Tell it to the hard pressed hospital staff that have to stitch mugs like you up because you choose to work under Third World health and safety standards.
Lol no he did it the right way, I mean after buying it for 1$ I’d throw it away if much rather cut a blank out and go from there cool idea and he did a great job
Wonderful restoration video! You started out with an Italian chef’s knife and finished with a restored Italian chef’s knife unlike some restoration videos that are really remodeling videos. Keep up the good work, those bevels were wonderful!
If this guy then put a link to eBay to buy the knife he’d get bidding wars from viewers who just spent 20 mins watching the knife to transform into something they now must have

@@MiScusii He lists the sharpener as a "MadEdge" sharpener in the description.
@@pepethememe7021 He says it is the MadEdge sharpener in the description of the video.
Was that a regular hot glue stick you used?
Dude works crazy fast. Only took him 20 mins to restore that knife. Legend.
Daebak it’s speed up it probably took 2 days
Pee Pee really? Never thought of that
@@peepee6844 Really? What sort of sorcery is this?
Pee Pee r/woooooosh
I mean yeah it’s pretty obvious that he is highly skilled?
Crazy speed
me throughout the whole handle making process: wtf is he doing
Yeah, far from restoration...
Why broadcast your ignorance or is it stupidity

Connor McCutchon I’m almost annoyed how funny this is
It’s clean
That was funny though
And battery acid for drinks!
I don’t know whether or not he actually ate it... and that kind of scares me... I’m gonna try it...

What was the deal with microwaving or whatever that was of the wood?
@@mattperkins7038 I believe he used wood stabilizer and put it in a vacuum chamber to make sure it penetrates then cooked it to make sure the wood was dry.
He checked the moisture before cooking it, so I assume it was to reduce that
His craftsmanship is unreal. A lot of the time, a guy can be great with his hands, or an awesome artist, BB is both.
That was the fastest 20 minute vid I’ve ever watched - fascinating process!
Thank you for showing the world what a true artisan craftsman can do and will continue to do. You are a Master Craftsman!
By the sound of it ..Hand tool rescue is behind the scenes having a bite!!!! Hilarious!!! And the blade is absolutely beautiful!!!
Best knife restorer on RUclips. Best attention to detail. Your work on the handle was super tight. Perfection!
and i see detail the pin you put in the middle of the handle i see like a circle inside a circle then a solid like circle over it how that is awesome

I was surprised that the rivets in the brass became invisible.
That Handle is Exquisite! The last 14 paper slices were gratuitous but appreciated. You are a Master of your craft. Thank you for sharing.
I was half expecting a hand-tool rescue-esque joke where he opens one of those foiled pieces of wood and its just chocolate and he takes a bite.
Holy crap this got highlighted? :O
@@LordPai bullshit
@@LordPai When you go back to your post someone commented/liked it it will say it's highlighted. I thought the same thing lol.

The handle is beautiful but doesn’t go with the knife
My thoughts exactly, the craftsmanship in the handle is beautiful and would go great with a steak- or butterknife design. For a chefknife at least I prefer sth more ergonomic like groves to prevent slipping backwards vor fowards. But to each his own.
I was going to say, the handle is too nice for the blade ;) Edit: chef knives don't usually have grooves.

The very square-ish shape makes the handle not very ergonomic.
@@sephbox I mean this in a helpful way, it sounds like the word you're looking for is tapered or maybe contoured?
I'm not even so worried about it not going with the blade, and although I like the profile with wood/steel/brass, it's just FAR too square for my taste.
ergonomically and esthetically.
This is the first knife handle I've seen made with just pins and no epoxy. Very happy to see this! Well done!
Judging from the damage on the spine and the blade, someone hammered on that to chop through bone or a steel can! Nice restore
Next, Doug will see if the blade will still cut.
@@johnruschmeyer5769 it wil keeeel
Utter poetry and a complete work of art from a true craftsman. Thankyou for this. Truly.
Love this guy, he is the restorer chemist
Not a chef but I am a cook and I say Bravissimo. Love old things but most of all really sharp knives. You have a gift!
I love how you give new life to old tools and knives. You really have an eye to make thing's beautiful again. Next time I'm in Italy I'll give you visit.
One of the best restorations on youtube. Stunning handle
Stunning, but one cut of the paper would have been enough, then you had to remind us mortals over and over again that you have better skills.
i like that you didn't grind it down to a flat mirror finish like most people do, and left some of the old wear and pitting in there. still shows some history and character. nice job!

@@omega9951 😂😂😂😂
Man, just as i read your comment the add came immediately
@Harris Lovell hahahahaha
Italian craftsmen are such wonderful artists. Beautiful!
Really nice restore as always. But I worry that all the pitts in the blade would be a haven for bacteria.
Nothing some boiling hot water and an alcohol dip won't fix
There is a thing called antibacterial soap that dishes usually get washed in, look it up
I mean doesn’t cast iron have pits?
@@DeathnoteBB exactly
@@c.jarmstrong3111 - That was pretty rude
Nice new handle on an old knife

The handle is great, but I'm worried about keping that blade bacterially safe with those corrosion pits.
Wait, is there a difference between that and porosity, or is that the same thing?

There are Japanese knives with this type of finish intentionally put on them. It’s called nashiji, or pear skin finish, to help with food release.
Outstanding Job on the entire project. 👏👏👏
First time here! Enjoyed that!
nice...awesome job...and apparently I'm not the only 1...2200 people liked this so much they flipped their phones and liked it again

That older Damascus Steel will work for another 100 years or so.
@@cliftontorrence839 this is not damascus steel, the lines you see are the result of an edge quench like a hamon you see on Katana's

The sound you made as you fake are the sludge was hilarious! Made me bust out laughing out loud!
That brass on the handle looks AMAZING!
Brass on knife handles and Restoration videos. Two things I usually hate but this guy just knows how to do so well that I'm loving it.
I know this is an old video but that is such a cool knife. I love seeing the pattern after the etching...makes me happy. I hope to make something as cool as this one day.

Wonderful work. It's always interesting to see the unique ways in which you finish your handles. Beautiful and functional.

me at 6:11 : why is he microwaving wood? 🤣
Cause who want cold wood duh 😒
us mortals cant understand his actions
Very nice knife! Really well done.
Great job. But I am surprised this guy has any fingers left at all!
There you are! I knew I couldn't get through a video featuring tools without one of you safety crybabies showing up.

Very satisfying to see it reborn.
Love the handle. Looks like a old school lock blade.
That is one great restore! Good handle work.

Surprisingly simmilar.
Great mix of old mottled blade and new handle beautifully executed..!! A knife for all seasons just loved how fast he works..!!
this man is a freakin chemist
Good steel is worth all this effort. A real diamond in the rough . I say this from a chef perspective.🔪
1:03 i love that soup
Needs some adobo and i think it'll be perfect 👌🏿
The handle is handsome and worthy of praise. But it is very glamorous for a kitchen knife. I still like it!
No lie, I was starting to get bored with this guy. All his knifes are the same style, but that handle took it. Good job doing something different.
Excellent travail d'artisan '' Magicien '' ! Félicitations ! n😎😎😎
If this guy then put a link to eBay to buy the knife he’d get bidding wars from viewers who just spent 20 mins watching the knife to transform into something they now must have
And thats the original Bowie design before they added the designs we notice today.
wow, that is not an ordinary knifemaker...... would LOVE such a tool in the kitchen !!
someday someone will find that FROID on the handle
As the French say, ça ne lui fait ni chaud ni froid...
