Yes! Another knife restoration. I love making this kind of projects!
This rusty old knife came from a recent visit to my town sunday flea market, needless to say I paid pretty much nothing for this. I guess it's no surprise, not many would buy something in this condition right?! But I knew it had potential. Under rust, dust and bad welds the steel is nice and hard! (between 50 and 55 Rhc) We can even see a hint of a makers mark, unfortunatly incomplete, so I am not able to discover when and where it was made and for what specific use. Still cool!
For the handle I used: stainless steel, ebony wood, white felt liners, stabilized cork and stabilized curly maple (I think it's maple, not sure).
I just started to list some of the stuff I use for my projects in this amazon storefront:

what sharpenning system is that?
You made the tang too weak. Always over engineer.
how bout no should be called raid garbage legends
what sharpener did you use Black Beard Projects
Understand that he's being paid by Raid, but do not actually install Raid. Raid is trash, meant to farm idiots for microtransactions in a "game" that is no fun at all.
It would probably be wise to get sponsored by a company that makes sanding belts... this looked expensive.
Yep, better than to advertize a pay2doanything game...
KYŌDɅI KΞN I see them so often, I just reflexively fast forward through them anyway.

Can't confirm or deny
Black Beard Projects I can confirm
Don't forget the olive oil and Gouda.
Female arm hair is really the best! LOL!
It is bruh
Putting a dowel on the tang for an easy fit up is such a clever idea, I've watched so many knife making videos and trying to cut out a perfectly rectangular hole for the tang is always something that invariably goes wrong and takes ages. What a clever idea!!!
Indeed. But an easier way would just be wrapping the tang with electrical tape. At least that's what I do.
@@alanbrunner4116 intellectual
I always fill it with epoxy and pin it.
The reason this isn't done is because its mechanically unsound. The only connection between the tang and the handle is the glue/epoxy between that dowel and the handle. Bang it a few times and that connection will break resulting in the knife handle coming free of the blade. It will either start to turn, or come flying out during use. There needed to be a set of pins through the tang to hold everything together mechanically.
@@mizinoinovermyhead.7523 Been making knives since 1992. No failures yet. Remember the tang is sitting in solid JB Weld and a hardened pin. It isn't going anywhere.
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. Also links to related videos that cover specific topics like making felt liners or stabilize wood!
14:05 I got to try this! Great Video
si
You probably been asked this 4 billion times but do you sell your restorations? And how much for this knife?
I love your work. Thx for sharing.
Hello there. What is the sharpening apparatus called, please? Really enjoy your channel, thank you.
I literally can't get away from Raid Shadow Legends, they're gonna start advertising in my dreams next XD. Its cool you're sponsored though.
Ahah! Thank you
By now you've probably already heard about Blue Apron....
Don't ever use XD you 62 yr old virgin.
Right when he started talking about raid I saw this comment 😂 Seriously though like about every single video I click on it’s sponsored by raid
You can get away from it...it just cost 11.99 a month 😅
How clever is that! The split dowel for handle fitting, and the jig for sizing the dowel... Brilliant!
Beautiful restoration and modification. Brilliant solution for the tang. I'll never forget the work that you did on the Slavic razor...nothing else like it anywhere! When you finish a piece I always find myself thinking...'I sure wish I had that.'
WOW!!! When I saw what was left of that tang I was so curious about how you were going to repair it for the handle... as always... absolutely beautiful sir!
I wasn't keen on the handle....until it actually came together and was on the knife. Then I loved it. Great vid!
Michael Moss I’ve noticed handles are usually the main sticking point in knife restoration videos. Probably because a sharp blade is a sharp blade, but handles are more specifically aesthetic?
One more masterpiece was born from scrap. Thanks a lot!
Saubere Arbeit! Das tadellose Ergebnis spricht für sich! Die Klinge faktisch mit einem Dübel im Griffstück zu befestigen ist ja mal eine ausgefallene Idee. 👍🏻👋🏻
There is nothing like watching a master at his craft. Epic job.
18:40 I THOUGHT HE WOULD CUT HIS OWN ARM TO SHOW HIS MASTERPIECE, LIKE A FREAKING VIKING.

How does anyone hate this guy or his channel? This show relaxes the hell out of me. He's an excellent craftsman.
I´m in love with this knive!
Initially it looked like something you'd find under an inmates bed in a Thai prison. End product was outstanding.
Made from a metal bed slat 😂😂
@@zxg77215 its just a joke man. I live in Chiang mai.
Just like me, at first sight I thought "nah, that's coming the first bad video from him". At the end "wow, totally worth to watch till the end"
@@zxg77215 Relax, it's a joke. Don't bring racial politics into this. It's all fun.
Yea I get it is a joke, just want to dig up some story or sort. Please allow me to delete the above comment to avoid further concern, and sorry for causing any trouble. :P
Have you ever thought about silver soldering the joint between the bolster and the blade? It would keep bacteria from growing in there. And it looks very cool. :) Enjoyed your video! :)
Always so rad to see people breathe new life into old things, and give broken tools the ability to do their job again. Awesome video!
love the knife but seriously excited about the heirloom tomato.
It's so jarring hearing one of these restoration channels actually talk. Like, literally none of them actually talk while they're doing the video
Breaking the rules
It's the easiest way to do it. Perfect for an antisocial fuck like me. Maybe that'll be my channels name.
I can never tell. I always mute the video.
This one was absolutely amazing
I enjoyed this knife
Wow. It truly was trash to treasure. I originally thought you'd weld on the needed steel, but instead... The handle was beautiful. Loved watching every second.
That was the most complicated way to cut a tomato I have ever seen!
O. L. I know 😂 every cut was wrong!!
@@Crazyknives 😧
Lolzzz 😂
That was something but it certainly was not a tomato.
I would be the guy that took a hard pass on that knife at the market, never seeing it has potential. That turned out amazing.
That was beautifully executed. I’ve never been a fan of leaving pitting on a blade, (I’m a mirror finish guy), but on this knife it works. You’ve restored an old ugly blade into something of beauty and kept the character of the piece. Thanks, I’m learning a lot from you. 🇦🇺👍
Wow. A piece of rusty metal restored to a knife I would never stop using. Fantastic .
It would be nice to know when is the right time to use a sandblaster vs rust remover...or can both be used in each case? If yes then would it not be faster and better to use sandblaster in the initial phase of the video? Lovely work as always! Kudos from India.
It’s good to see that you still can’t chop tomatoes 😂
Right? I'm like "this dude knows how to make an unbelievably awesome knife out of a piece of garbage, but he can't sharpen it properly?" :D
@@WandereringFamily123 It seemed rather sharp to me. Am I missing something? The shave worked fine, and the tomato cuts were clean. Heirloom tomatoes are rather difficult to get thin neat slices of.
It slices! It dices! It makes Julienne fries!
@@jeffr0 And wait! There is more! It also stores easily under your bed! Don't wait, there are only a few left! Only $999.99! Call your local number NOW!
I think that knife is begging for a 15deg hollow ground bevel. I bet the tomato slicing would go much better.
You Sir are an absolute artist with these restores.
Lovely restoration/complete remake. I think when you do something like this, you need to add a makers mark. Either brand the wood or etch the metal, just something to show future owners where it came from.
They way you put your arm on the table after you've sharpened the blade is kinda scary :D
Also slightly triggering for people who self harm...😗
That tiny tang breaks my heart. You did what you had to do but damn.
Someone obviously once loved that knife enough to try and fix it multiple times. I'm sure they would have loved what you have done with it ❤️
I'm impressed with the quality work. Even though you speed up the content, we get to see all the details. I like that.
Are you telling me that Knife can cut a tomato? Outstanding.
New profile and finish look fantastic, although I’m concerned about the cuts you added into the tang. I know you added them to increase the strength of the anchoring to the handle, but it might also increase the chance for stress fractures to form near the cuts.
Leo Marrah, I wouldn’t worry about tomato cutting stress.... It could chop millions of tomatoes before the handle turns into sauce bruh...
Please sign your work ,it is art !
I love that handle! The insert idea was awesome to watch you come up with. Thanks for the awesome work.
I love the way you keep the patina and not make it to a perfect shiny knife like most channels do

That's hilarious.
Easily the best knife restoration video I have seen
Nice job! I like how you put a spline inside of the scales to keep a tight fit. The wrought iron really looks great and works good for a chopper.
Very good job! 👍
That was the last knife I used in the Titanic it's crazy how somebody found it
"It's been 84 years..."
Props to RSL, they can't make a good game, but they singlehandedly fund half my KZhead experience XD
Nicely done as usual! I was kinda hoping you'd do that kind of tang, it's been a little while. Handles are always looking awesome too, the contrast between materials just looks amazing every time.
Beautiful restoration. I was happy to see you scrubbed the rust away with a proper brush, not a toothbrush as I've seen on other channels. It drives me bonkers.
ben candelaria Ya right 👍🏻
Hey Black Beard. Did you ever find out what the stamped imprint on the side of the blade was from? I saw a faint one at 19:20 and 19:55.
I'm not even into "knives" and I sit here in awe at your work. Not only are they beautiful but, you build them to be strong and trustworthy. You have my respect Sir. I wish we were friends =)
GREAT RESTORATION!!! as usual, beautiful Knife!!!!
that is the smallest, saddest tang i've ever seen in my life
Yeah I thought the same but I guess it isnt a combat knife so fair enough
My girlfriend 2020
Segio Siea lol rip
dangerously small
That's what she said
In the condition it was in, it would've probably been cheaper to make one out of a lawnmower blade. Lol
Perfect!!!!😍
VERY nice work as always, nice to learn new things :) your technique is inspiring. including the advance frame segments, it really helps to understand your excellent approach as to what need be done properly. thanks!
How much free time do you have on your hands? "Yes"
YES
bro how u gonna raid shadow legends me when im trying to chill watchin my no-dialogue workshop videos.
my man's gotta make his money right
I can barely wire a plug but I love watching these vids
Such a beautiful work! Love it.
This guy really likes to make a tomato salad.
Shaving arms and cutting paper is so 2019.... To REALLY prove how sharp it is, trim your toe nails. That will be avant garde.
Nope, gotta shave your pubes. 😵😄
I think a lot of your stuff is great...but this....this one was spectacular.
Oh my god that handle is so beautiful. Great work!!
You should never use gloves with wire wheels because your hand can get caught up in it and mess your hand up
Michael Myers called. He wants his knife back.
Exquisite. Great composite for the handle, made the whole thing look absolutely elegant.
More reincarnation than restoration 😂love to see these old life’s been repurposed, some nice ideas I’d like to try myself 👍👍👍
was this thing found stabbed inside of a bear or something?
That handle looks amazing, but I’ve never been a big fan of leaving the pitting from the rust on the blade.
looks cool but not wise for kitchen knives because the pits hold bacteria.
I don't know what it is about the sped up sound but I find it incredibly relaxing. You should start an ASMR channel!
I cant even be arsed repairing a slightly bent spoon or fork then you have this G
Man, doing Raid ads must pay pretty well, seeing how everyone universally knows it's shit, but every content creator on KZhead still does the ads
Well with KZhead deciding they want an ever increasing share of the add money, content providers are doing what they can to make ends meet. Pretty sure they enjoy making these inviđeo adds as much as we love watching them. Better than loosing content like this. But ya f¥ck Raid SL!
Raid shadow legends is actually pretty decent.
18:52 where did you get this Tomato from, Chernobyl? Love the video
nicely done Conrad
Love the knife and how you restored it with the most amazing handle
Raid Shadow Legends claims another victim...
E' un ragazzo giovane, sa fare qualcosa.... Secondo me qui si parla di "eccellenza". Punto.
Concordo al 100%
Qualcuno sa dirmi in che cosa immerge il coltello al minuto 8:20 ?? Grazie
You sir area man that restores with no fear. Outstanding job!
that handle turned out beautifully, i was pleasantly surprised. Great stuff
Raid has claimed another youtuber :"(
With how Google is taking things, sponsorships are really the only way for creators to earn a decent amount of money. It’s a shame, but business is business I guess.
At first that thing had so much rust you could get tetanus from just looking at it
I think he had his tetanus protection goggles on :p
Nice fit up on this piece 👍
That’s probably the best one can do without a sandblaster. Nice job.

Wow. That turned out beautiful!
A brilliant resurrection of a desperately damaged blade. The finished knife is outstanding!
I think that's the ugliest tomato i've ever seen
Heirloom tomato. They're ugly, but super tasty.
Awesome work brother.
I don’t even care anymore if my favorite channels display ads. You deserve the money. When will you show us the pieces My Mechanics did to you?

Very neat and smart, and original solution on this video!! Thanks for sharing.
“Now that’s a knife”👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
This knife had an outstanding transformation

Very nicely done, but I am still a fan of the shiny blade over the blue. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
That was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
