Turn A 2€ Rusty Knife Into High-End Japanese Chef's Knife

  • I found this big knife at a local flea market in a bucket of "everything 2€" miscellaneous items. I bought it with the intent of lightly restoring it but after a close inspection I thought I was better off doing something more interesting with it since the construction was pretty bad, with un-even grinds, terrible pins and poor materials. After removing the rust I could also tell it has pretty much no historical value since it has no marking at all.
    So here we go! In this video I go through the entire process of turning it into a better looking (and better performing of course) chef's knife.
    The design is pretty close to a kiritsuke, but it's much bigger than most measuring 43cm (17inch) overall with 30cm (12inch) blade 6.5cm (2.6inch) wide and 2.5mm (0.1inch) thick.
    I tried to develop an hamon on the blade for aesthetic reason but without success, maybe the steel is not prone to show it since the harness is definitely different from spine to edge before and after tempering. Or maybe some other reason, I didn't wanted to spend the time to figure that out anyway. I had also another issue with the heat treatment where the refractory cement expanded and got stuck in the blade holder inside the oven, I had to quench everything... Yeah... That wasn't pretty at all!
    The handle is made of iroko and ebony wood, with a mild stainless steel guard and some red felt and white paper liners, the process of making the spacers is better described in this video:

    • @datruommi
      @datruommi 3 года назад +278

      As I understand it, the purpose is for the goo/clay/cement stuff to shield the spine during the quench so that the edge can get hard without the spine getting brittle. The resulting visual effect of this is called a hamon, I believe. The clay won't stick to the blade as is so that's why you wrap the blade in wire; to give the clay something to hold on to.

      @talonbond9262 2 года назад +1

      not all Japanese chefs knives are single bevel ... in fact thats a feature one only a few very specific knives the majority are a dual bevel convex grind this is mostly due to the habit of using laminated steel due to their poor quality ore so the majority of their traditional blades are san mai or greater so only the core steel is hardened with mild steel jackets thus dual beveled

      The time you spent hand filing the slot, you could have got a cheap file blade, cut the back end of it into a tang that fit into a sawzall and filed the slot out. The whole process would have taken about ten minutes and then you'd still have the file blade for next time.

    I love what you do, and I enjoy watching your videos. But this title is very misleading.
    In order to make it a real high end knife you need to know precisely what steel the blade is made of in order to have the right procedure for heat treatment.
    You can't just take any random sheap old knife, clean it up, arbitrarily hardening and quenching (and giving it a differential hardening) without some sort of hardness testing, i.e. a rockwell hardness tester at best or at least tester files.
    And then put on some bolster, liners, fancy woods handle and call it a high-end Japanese chef knife (not even calling it a Japanese-STYLE kitchen knife). 😅
    Don't get me wrong. I love the work you put into it! But it's important to be clear on what really goes into a knife in order to call it high-end, and even a Japanese chef knife for that matter.
    Please don't take offense!
    Anyways, love your videos. Keep it up!

      it looks okay, but then he gets to the part where he's cutting a tomato and, i'm just shaking my head, why do you need a like half a pound of steel to cut a tomato. where is the clip of him slaughter a pig.

    I'm confused why you felt the need to do half the things you did such as the heat treat and the acid etch, like they added nothing and the heat treat probably compromised your blade more than it helped it, especially considering you tried doing the Japanese clay technique on a knife that is already hard steel, which I can guarantee did nothing as that technique ensures a strong and flexible blade due to the presence of soft steel which you do not have in that blade
    Edit after watching the handle bit:
    The handle is also incredibly dumb, it's unreasonably rounded so it'd be hard to grip, and there is no mechanical connection, so the handle WILL fall off after a short amount of use, especially if you are chopping

      That's pretty much what he did. It's not so much a "restoration" as it is "recycling" the blade from the old rusty knife. He already had to template and re-cut the knife's shape anyway. While it's an impressive feat to make that out of a cheap knife, it would've been even cheaper (and faster) just making a knife from a raw block of steel, and the process would have been identical minus all the extra cleaning he had to do. So while it's not the most practical way to fashion a knife with the tools and skills on display, I'll still commend the guy for at least keeping that knife from being wasted by sitting in a landfill.

    Gets some whetstones and sharpen the knife the right way. I don’t get the point of going through this whole process and short changing the most important part of a knife. The edge.

      knife sharpening is a skill in and of itself. He just restored it and did a pretty good job sharpening the blade, but perfecting the edge is separate.
