Paid two bucks at a local flea market for this old, rusty cleaver. It did not look like much and hat a lot of rust pitting on one side, the handle was ruined and had severe blow marks on the spine. The seller seemed surprised I took it.
As you can see in the video, as soon as I took the first layer of rust out, the makers mark became visible. It is made by an old German company named DANKRE, that specialized in kitchen cutlery.
After all the rust was removed, it became visible that the cleaver was made from two different types of steel, one hard for the cutting edge and one softer for the main body and spine, so it can better take shocks.
From this I get this was a good quality tool that deserves to be restored.
If you like woodturning check out my second channel: kzhead.info/sun/lpuKYqeLi4x3fq8/bejne.html It's new and every bit helps! Thank you!
No ear-cringe music, no annoying voiceover, no tediously long demonstrations, no condescending explanations. Just a solid display of competence in a beautifying project, with all its tools and transformation. I couldn't stop watching, skip ahead, or look away, absolutely transfixed from beginning to end. Good job.
also asmr if you are unto that.
I like the music most of them use

No annoying music? This must have been done wrong. SUSAN GET THE DEMONITIZATION STICKER!!1!11!1

He is the best at this
He deserves a sub
One day that cleaver will turn to I found this huge knife and ima make it smaller until its a little piece of scrap metal
Currently restoring a 100 year old cleaver of my own and was looking for ideas. While my cleaver is nothing like yours i just gotta say thats some nice craftsmanship you got there. I spent a few hours today welding my pits full and grinding them back smooth, hopefully tomorrow i can get it finished up and then its time to make it pretty and put a handle together with walnut. Thanks for the motivation!
wow he liked ur comment even after 3 years
Well, I still read all the comments, even though I had to stay away from the workshop for a while because of health reasons. This channel is really a passion project, I really love tools, so I enjoy reading people's comments about them.
@@TheSmallWorkshop that is very kind sir
He is honestly one of the best creators on the platform. just watching these videos gives me such an adrenaline rush. the stuff he does is crazy. keep it up man.
I like how theres no music blasting in my ears, just a man's hand's at work

It's like asmr
Pause
That DID NOT COME OUT RIGHT
Lol 5 minute crafts would soo do that
This makes me realise how much effort it takes to make simple everyday things
It's fun tho for those who know how to enjoy it
Not by the bulk

It doesn't take effort as factories produce them which are made by robots not humans
Restoring them do but I make knives 8ts a simple process but easy to get wrong and really time consuming

Antique rusty old meat cleaver: $2 Tools to restore meat cleaver: $10,000 Not losing a finger in the process: Priceless
Guy pretty much just used his lathe for everything. You can get a good used lathe for a few hundred bucks. As long as your planning to repair at least 1-200 meat cleavers you'll break even

You know he made so much money from the video itself.
I read this comment when he pours some water (which classified as tools) and made me chuckle
Knife: $2.00 Wood: free Equipment to “restore” knife: $3000

He re used that equipment, you would know that if you watched all of the videos
@@deadlyaak5119 wait so you’re saying he didn’t purchase 3k worth of equipment to restore a $2.00 knife and then throw the equipment away after that? Man I always thought machinery was only 1 time use. It all makes sense to me now. Thank you

I'm thinking probably not. I'm sure the cleaver wasn't pitted when it was brand new, and the purpose of a restoration isn't to add more pitting, its to restore how an item looked when it was new. He changed the shape of the cleaver, and the handle. This wasn't a restoration, more like a refurbishment.

You've gotta love how his hand is covered in saw dust and he barely seems to care, true professional
True but it's kinda triggering though

Any normal person who works with wood a lot doesn’t care

Not gonna like, this is rather satisfying, I like how your able to make hopeless looking things look newer than new, it’s very impressive! Keep up the good work! 😊
Masterfully done! The craftsmanship that went into the cleaver is equal to the level of editing. It’s a perfect video! Bravo!
this is going to sound weird, but i found this channel while up at 3 am with a terrible stomach ache and searching for a distraction from keeping my food down. watching these videos completely entranced me and after only two i felt stable enough to lay back down. that’s how therapeutic these are 💚

By altering the cleaver it lost it’s originality. It is a fact that antique items loose value if handled. The procedure shown is the worst way of mutilation. Ask any museum, they will agree with me. This is a good example of “how to make something old look like new again”.
I watch thia video at least 2 times a year. Ive been doing this since this video came out. I love it
Everything looks amazing! The one thing I would change "as a butcher" is the handle. The handle needs to be squared instead of round. The reason being blood makes the cleaver rotate in hand with it being round. Still very impressed!

$2 for the rusty clever $3,500 for all the tools needed to make it shine, sparkle, and slice again. 4 hours in the man cave My entertainment level . . . PRICELESS

Also the tools are reusable

Easier to let it soak in vinegar/salt solution. Then scub it with a brillo pad. Most folks have all 3 in the kitchen. Cost to restore $0-$6.

Imagine another hundred years from now someone restores this cleaver again
