I found the cleaver that I am restoring in this video in the cellar of a friend's construction site.
A 400-year-old house is being renovated on the construction site and I was able to discover some treasures from former days in the cellar. My friend is happy when they will be given a second life and all this stuff won't end up on the junk.
The shape of the cleaver is very swingy and the many dents on the upper edge indicate that a butcher once worked a lot with the cleaver. A hammer was certainly also used to drive the cleaver through more solid structures with more force. The dents and dings in the upper area suggest this.
The handle is past its prime, the wood is rotten and broken and is only held together by duct tape. I have to make a new handle here. For the new handle I have a nice piece of 400 year old oak that once acted as a beam in the old house we are renovating. The beam had to be replaced in the house, but I was able to save some pieces of the wood.
I started to remove the rust from the cleaver with electrolysis. Together with washing soda and a power supply the rust can be transferred to a sacrificial anode. Then I was able to contour the edge of the cleaver and finish it nicely with a power file. I sanded in different grits up to 220 grit. Then I grinded the blade by hand. First 240 grit then 400 grit, 600 grit and then 1000 grit and 1500 grit.
I brushed off the upper part with an electric steel brush and then cold blued it to protect it from rust.
Finally I sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper and polished everything to a high shine with the polishing stand and white and blue polishing paste on a felt wheel.
Now I could make the handle out of the beautiful piece of oak. I made an inlay from a piece of plywood that gives the handle a dynamic look. I polished up and reused the brass and probably copper applications that framed the old handle. A piece of brass that decorates the new handle lengthwise connects the applications and makes the wood look narrower.
I finished the wood by hand with 240, 400, 600 and even 1000 grit sandpaper, which made it very smooth. The ergonomic shape of the handle and the fine surface make it very comfortable to grip.
I treated the handle with linseed oil at the end to preserve it.
Of course there is a beer tasting again.
I hope you have as much fun with the video as I had making it - I really like the result 😊

Oh my God that comment gave me goosebumps. So kind of you and funny to take the beer ranking as inspiration 😁😁
@@NTRprojects I thought it would be funny to do a version your beer ratings, I'm glad you enjoyed it! In all seriousness, good job!
And I agree, it was funny and really nice too
What?! No ranking for beer tasting ?
@@oorangejuce I don't really like beer, so I didn't want to give it a 0/6, and throw off the perfect score!
I held this thing in my hand. The video and the results are perfect, but only if you felt this piece, you can feel the quality of this bearded mans work. You’re awesome!
Ah my friend . Thank you so much for the compliment. you're always welcome to join the shop again.
I’ve only been subscribed to your channel for 2 months. I’m going back to your past work and it’s nothing short of AMAZING. 👌👌
I have watched literally hundreds of these restoration videos but you Sir are in a league of your own. Your attention to detail and restoration skills are awesome! Absolutely fantastic. Please keep them coming!
Came from 9gag here. Nice job, watched interestingly
Thank you Alen. I also have other restorations on my channel. Maybe you are interested in those too
Wow that editing to show the progress on the sanding of the spine was astounding. Fantastic job!
I'm always very excited and happy when someone notices a small detail that actually took quite a lot of time in the making. So thank you very much for the comment
I also came here from 9gag.
Not only it´s not NOT TERRIBLE, but also it´s a solid 10/10 restoration.
Congrats, I'm in!
Regards from Argentina!
Best regards back to Argentina. Thank you so much for the nice compliment. Maybe you will like the other videos too. I would be happy to hear from you again in the future
Que, puso un post en 9gag? No lo vi
I would’ve never thought of a plywood mix handle. Turned out amazing. Great work!!
It was definitely risky, but I'm happy how it worked out. Thank you Packer Backer
I really enjoy it when old knives and cleavers etc. are restored. Good job!!!
That handle is an absolute work of art! Well done!!
Humorvoll, Lehrreich, Befriedigend und nicht schlecht! Diese vier Eigenschaften braucht jedes RUclips Video, wie ein gutes Gericht alle vier Geschmacksrichtungen.
Lorenzo Lorenzo du hast Umami vergessen, den wichtigsten bastein des guten Geschmacks und Nummer 5 im Bunde. Was tun wir nun? Ich danke dir aber trotzdem sehr!
Sigh...another charming restoration channel to get addicted to. Beer is a nice touch indeed~.
You are very welcome to stay Leah
Nice of you to save and restore the old cleaver. Sorry about the beer.
Yes it would be a great beer if it wasn't that stale
Hab über 9GAG hergefunden. Very nice!
schön das du da bist. Schau dich gerne um und klick was dir gefällt
Truly excellent work. I restored a Solingen cleaver, and I love it. I use it only rarely, but it makes me happy when I see it on the kitchen wall.
I'm sure this one will make you happy each time you see it or use it.
Hey J. you are back. Very nice of you. Yes the ceaver is already in my kitchen and I smile everytime I see it
That cleaver definitely has risen from the dead, a Phoenix from ashes to fire. Well done sir very nicely done indeed. Texas is watching.
Thank you for the compliment and all the best to Texas. I wouldn't mess with Texas anyway ;)
Unfortunately, I couldn't be there for the premiere, but now I've watched the video in peace. Great result and good work!
Thanks my fellow restorer
Nice work, OP!
Thank you Isac
Wonderful restoration with much manual work (shows the dedication of your work)! I like the comparison episode showing the surfaces worked on with different grit sandpapers.
Thank you Anderson Parks. I'm always happy when I get such a nice feedback
You are a brilliant restorer! Lovely job.
Wow, that handle is gorgeous!
Thank you so much J L
Oh My God, one of the best restoration ever, with a bonus beer tasting, thank you Master :-))
OMT I really really appreciate your comment. thank you
Brilliant work on the handle from end to end!
Thank you jim!
Two of my favorites things. Beer and great restoration. 6/6 in all categories. The addition of the plywood insert in the handle. That was really something to see in the end.
Thank you for coming back Anthony and leaving a nice comment once again. Really enjoyed your feedback
Recently new subscriber here. All of your restorations have been fantastic but your knife scales have been off the chart! You could make a small fortune just selling those.👍👍
Outstanding restoration. A real work of art. The plywood inlay is ingenious...very beautiful outcome. Great beer commercial break!
I really like your creative style of restoring your old pieces of treasure with new details to perfection.
Thank you very much A M, as always a pleasure to hear from you
That was a great restoration. And the beer review was a nice touch. I liked it so much I hit both the like and the subscribe buttons.
That's very nice Jim. I'm glad you liked it so much.
You came at the right time. Tomorrow I will upload a new video
I like the rust cavities that are left, you can see it's old but restored
Yes I like to leave something that shows it's aged if possible
I think you did a great job. I love how you incorporated the antiqueness and the shiny bits as well. Why destroy the work that Mother nature did and cannot easily be duplicated,
Very sharpy restoration
Perfect
I think the previous owner used the cleaver for cutting bones. You did a wonderful job of bringing the cleaver back to rights.
Yes I tjink so too. or to cut down a tree :D
Thank God not another hack, you left original shapes and it kept its earned aged aura. very nice 6/6
The drill with the sandpaper is very clever
thank you jeff
Not bad. The plywood was a mistake. That oak waited 400 years for you. Respect it.
Great job.. The plywood inlay is surprisely great...
Thank you coffee house forge. I know it was risky but the result made me confident, that I can show it on RUclips
Perfection! The whole thing is beautiful. The handle compliments the blade. Nicely balanced. Well done Dr. B. Peace💫
Peace to you too as always Sandra and once again: thank you very much
That handle is exquisite!!!
Glad you also like this one Nina
So much noise yet so calming. Oh the post-electrolysis solution got some fizz to it too 😂 Loved your work on the brass. Sure looks better than new. Thank you for yet another amazing video and of course the useful tips. I've been wondering why people keep rewinding when they tap threads. Now I know 😄
Yeah but I wouldnt drink that solution :)
@@NTRprojects I did, after that I started doing videos
@@misterpatina But why? Dont do it Mr. P. we need you
You gave that a whole new life, dude! Great work! 🤘
Thanks a lot Andy
Beautiful knife
Beautiful job
Thank you Allen
Just brilliant. I enjoyed this video. Thx for sharing.
Simply stunning. Nice job.
Great stuff….proper job my friend !
Thank you Justin
What a beauty! Just a transformation. Great work.
Never seen plywood look so nice or used in this way. I'm really impressed. You have a good imagination.
Gloriously beautiful restoration. Something to cherish as you use it.
Very nice. Great work without a lathe!!
Noice!! This was one of the better ones I’ve seen on restoring a cleaver. Nice job!!
Thank you very much Sean. Mymechanics did a cleaver too this week. Maybe you check it out
@@NTRprojects I like your style ...... I’m subbing. 🤘 BTW I’ll go check that out.
You, sir, are an artist!! Beautiful!! But let me nitpick one point. While the handle is stunning, the cap looks like it's been put on upside down. Love your show!!
Soooo, you just "found it in a friend's basement", eh?? That sounds believable. :) Very nice finish.
Love the handle, beautiful!
Thank you my fellow restorer
Beautiful finish.
Great job Dr. Love the handle Cheers from canadian beer
Your going through the channel. I like that :D
Fantastic..!!!...ji ji ji.. Saludossss..Amigo...!!
Fantastic work. There truly is a tool for every job!
Thank you mustang

Thank you Olo glad you came back
Wow! Excellent job.
Awesome restore
Thanks a lot Kostas!
Cool. Keep up the good work. Look forward to more of your videos.
I look forward to do more videos and share them with you
Nice job, I like the contrast of the plywood after sanding and finishing
I honestly hoped for this result, but I was not sure if it will work
You did a great job 👍
Thank you Lawrence
Well done, sir.
Thank you as always rlm98253
Sehr gute Arbeit....letzte Woche war so eine Dreh/ Fräskombi wie Mr Patina sie hat im Ebay....dachte du hättest die gekauft...lol....starkes vid.
Mein Auto hat sich die Woche leider verabschiedet, dass muss ich jetzt erstmal aufschieben. Grüße in deine Werkstatt
Quite nicely done A+!
Thanks Derek
Beautiful ❣️
Turned out quite nice 🤗✌️😎
Thank you! Cheers!
Stunning work! If only I had a knife that would cut as good as yours.
Looking forward your next video!
Maybe I need to give them a treatment once.
Came here from 9gag good job bruv
I'm glad you showed up. Check out the other projects if you like
Beautifully done! 😃👌🏼
I'm glad you like it. Have a great day
Gut gemacht
Beautiful!
Thank you Robert
Brilliant!
Well done 👍
Thank you William
Very nice job
Thank you Musa
With each video I watch I wish more and more that I could send you some of the beers my dad makes to you. Sadly stuck in the states so I don’t think we can:(
From 9gag very nice work
Welcome to the channel Richard from 9gag, I'm glad you showed up, watched the video and even took the time to comment
Nice job!
Thank you Jess
NICE RESULTS!!!
If l saw this in a high-end kitchenware catalog or retailer, I don't think it would be out of place!
hey! the new workshop looks amazing. And this restoration has been amazin. The only thing I woul critique is the handle, you didn't align it when glueing and it's noticeabler (from the close up video, at least). I liked the idea tho, that plywood and bronce gave it a nice touch
Hey wido thanks for the feedback. I agree. On the top side it is perfectly aligned, but on the back side there is a little gap.
@@NTRprojects Oh, one more stupid thing, I would call that beer color "ambar", don't you think? Where I live, there's a popular beer that's called like that "amber lager" and I think the color match the description. I'm also sure yours taste much better!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
I'm happy that you took something from the video. That makes the extra effort in commenting worth. Have a great day
Nice!
Thank you for watching Dave
Very nice. Could be sharper, but it is a cleaver after all.
It is quite sharp, but there is always room for improvement
Veerry niceee
Thaaank youuuu
Lovely!
Thank you once again Jozsef
Parabéns, ótimo trabalho!!!
Muito obrigado e os melhores cumprimentos ao brasil
You had me worried there for a second when you put your pattern on it lol Every part of it looks great but don't like the plywood only cause it looks like what it is
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks for the feedback oneshot
Excelente restauracion, buen trabajo te felicito. Saludos
Gracias muy amigo!
Congratulations wonderful restoration. Oh yes, I'll keep him talking while you grab the lathe. 😉
Perfecto. So I already have a team for the job. We're getting there

Greetings back to the north and thank you for the nice comment!
great work love the handle
A compliment from a man with such a beard is worth a lot in crafts community. Thanks a lot!
@@NTRprojects well keep it up you give us all new ideas on restoring. Thanks
Wonderful restoration , well done.
Such great reactions are worth the work. Thank you Leonard
I am already very excited about the new content!
And I'm really really excited if you all like it
Gonna have a good time watching this before I head to bed tonight when it premieres. So excited!
@@anisatania4036 only seven hours left ☺️☺️☺️
This is great! Just a note, but the hammer marks on the spine were intentional, old cleavers were usually hammer finished in that way. Some of them may have been post forging though, as sometimes you need to hammer it through bone. I've got a few Fultons that had that same exact patten from the forging process
Nice brew!
Thanks bromeo
9gagger having a decent channel? This is a first
I'm happy I'm the first you like. Greetings Mr jishan
very great! but the ooold handle shape 🤌🤌🤌 outstanding handwork though :)
Butchers trick: don't swing the cleaver. Place the cleaver where you want the cut and use a wood dowel as a hammer to finish the cut. This is a safety measure and you won't lop off fingers.
Hey Tracy thank you for the safety tip I will do it as you recommend it
