Absolutely fantastic!! And thank you for not over dramatizing a restoration "theater play". Most everyone else that restores are un watchable cuz they put on a show. Great job and I love all the work. Thank you.
Watching the handle fitting is a subtle but powerful reminder of what taking the time to get accurate measurements can lead to. The beautiful snug fit and ease of tightening shows a level of detail and craftsmanship that very few people take the time to get right. Truly a masterpiece well done good sir.
Before it looked like something from an old pirate ship or something, but what a fantastic and beautiful job you did giving it life again. Always love when you go all out with testing the things you restore😅

The original makers of that cleaver would be mighty jealous of how the restoration turned out. Surely it came out looking better than the original cleaver! Amazing.
What I love about your videos is that you don't use powertools for everything.The lathe, mill and occasional sanding is completely understandable though. You put so much work and detail into your craft and also the videos. No other restoration channel comes even close to you when it comes to quality of both videos and restoration.
Ok I hadn't watched your video before I commented. I'd like to add thatthe sanding with powertools in this video is also completely understandable. ♡ keep up the good work!
I started, these last few weeks, working wood at home as a hobby. Since I have been in poor health for now a year and since could no longer bear playing video games and watching TV any longer, your work and the work of some of your fellow restorer inspired me. I am quite sure I will never reach your level of craftsmanship nevertheless I really enjoy my self since I get to see what my work and experimentation lead me to. A big thank you for unknowlingly helping me back on my feet again.
Most restoration channels try and do too much to these things with like gold and epoxy, but you did it just perfectly. And none of that stupid music that always plays over these. Very nice and clean, and very satisfying to watch. Not to mention how perfect it came out. Very well done. As a long-time supporter of this channel I once again tip my hat to you
I feel depressed if I don't get to watch his restoration video every week. If there is no new video coming I go back to the old ones and watch again. These videos are so soothing and calming. If there is an award for restoration work this guy will win it hands down every time..
Now that is a cleaver. It's been many years since I've seen one, and that was in a museum in Nebraska. That is so cool how you brought this piece of history back to life.
@@clydebalcom3679 --- I could be wrong, but that may be some sort of tuna knife, or a knife (blade) to cleave freshly slaughtered and skinned food animals ('hog splitter"). Band saws probably replaced them. But, I saw a video of a Japanese fish market in which they brought out a five foot long knife (sword, really) to bisect a tuna. I can't say they performed the bisection in one stroke, but it was pretty close, very clean on one side of the spine and rib bones, so that thing must have been really sharp. A band saw would make a mess of tuna.
@@Adscam --- The Tuna King Reigns at Tsujiki Fish Market shows varying lengths of knives. I saw one video where a guy brought out one he carried hanging tip down just inches above he floor, the handle up at his head level. I had seen the semi-circular Taiwanese knife before, they forge them by hand but by the dozens. Interesting channel.
Superb. You’re the best restoration channel on YT by far. Unlike so many others, you never take shortcuts because you know the quality of work required to do it properly.
As usual, I was surprised at some choices you made and the extra distance you went to get the job "just perfect" when I know other restorers would have made simpler choices in order to get the job done more quickly. There is something deeply satisfying about watching an artist, whether it be a restorer, a painter, or a sculptor, do something unexpected in order to get a better end result. Thank you for another fine video, Master.
Your work is mesmerizing and fascinating as usual. Thank you, MM, for sharing this beautiful cleaver with us. The amount of hand sanding is phenomenal and my arms ache for you!🤣This is just wonderful.
Just spoke with a friend I've known for 30 years - he did an apprenticeship as a butcher back in the '60's and used the larger version of this splitting beef carcases down lengthways - nowadays they use chainsaws apparently. I've never actually seen one in use but I do remember seeing them hanging up in the butchers shop as a child in the '60's - my friend is 10 years older than me, and got to actually use one.
That restoration was incredible. Back in my high school days, I would often bring old rusty tools my father had, and repaired them using similar machines And yes - It IS as satisfying as advertised
The rope had a nice decorative touch but we all know your style is super clean without unnecessary parts so this came out exactly the way I expected you to restore it. Super high end amazing result. Nicely done! Very satisfying ofcourse
Have watched many of the tool resto postings find this guy to be the best. His videos are edited right and the end results are great. No silly extras. Always look forward for his next challenge.
I'll be honest, I was kind of hoping for an inlaid string wrap at the top of the handle as an omage to the original condition it was in. Looks fantastic though, well done!
I prefer your restorations to all the others. They are the best. I am absolutely delighted that you try to make every step perfect. There are so many videos where the authors do a titanic job, but don't try at some point to cross out the whole result. Some hastily or improperly done detail destroys everything. But you maintain a standard of perfectionism in everything, from washing to tracing old images, to painting. This resonates in my soul because that's exactly how I, my father, or my grandfather would have done it. Your work is a feast for the eyes and honey for the souls of perfectionists. It's ambrosia for those who know the value of this labor. Thanks you! Best regards, Arsenii

Now that is a beautiful design. You did a great job. Personally I would have cleaned it up and used the way it was. But I like that old type of stuff. Your work is very impressive.
Dear My Mechanics, can you please make 3 videos a day 7 days a week? Your videos are like visual heroin. I believe I may be helplessly addicted. You are truly number one in the galaxy as far as restoration videos go. There’s no B.S., you have extreme skill, great filming style, very articulate, rare..subtle but appreciated humor (I.e. the blur on the sandblast cabinet button after people said you should fix it : ) just a pleasure to watch. Ok, Now get to making those videos.
A fabulous job, really good and it probably looks better now than when it was first made. I just love the way that you are able to create screwable rivets like its no big deal at all.
YEAA I haven't watched your videos for a year or two now and I got so happy when I found you again and saw the broken sandblaster button I'm so happy thank you for uploading new videos!!
@@Vickie-Bligh i meaaan seems like only my mechanic uses the footage of him pressing thr button so i just needed to find the button but ive watched since a very long time ago where he switched between the two hah
Check out some videos of master sushi cutters with whole tuna getting cut down. It's fascinating the clevers and long swords they use. Ridiculously expensive too.
Your machining footage puts iPhone commercials to shame. The added sound is fantastic now. Your engineering talent is clearly obvious but your video editing skill is always the unsung hero on these!
Beautiful, as usual. I dig the satin finish on the blade. Looks nice, and not as fussy to maintain as a high polish. A bit of shoulder bevel where the handle meets the base of the blade would be a nice touch, but that’s a very subjective thing.
Великолепно. И да - ты не стал выводить в зеркало японскими камнями с водой, а просто сделал красивую, но рабочую утилитарную вещь. Получаешь дополнительные очки уважения.
A question about sandblasting - sometimes you soak it in a deruster first, sometimes not, sometimes put it in another cleaner, sometimes not. What determines whether you can go straight to sandblasting or if you have to do some other prep work first?
If you have the use of a sandblaster it’s the fastest way to return the surface to bare metal. If you can’t blast it other methods are used which are much slower.
This is a very old video, as shown by the torn sand blaster switch cover. Made prior to his refinement of cleaning off surface rust to prolong the life of the media in the blaster.
Beautiful antique tobacco chopping knife, I saw it listed on a TV show with Drew Prichard, a famous English antiques dealer. Watching your works is always a beautiful show.
A mirror finish is nice for a show piece, but that satin finish looks like it is ready for work. Well done!
Yeah, all other restorers do that ugly looking mirror finish on the blade, which just makes it look like not a blade
Agreed, I always thought a satin finish looks more elegant
I agree. This knife is ready to work. It would be an awful shame not to use it.
In this case I would prefer a polished blade as it cleans better.
Yay, the sandblaster power button looks good again!
cant believe he put the old one back
Merry Christmas!

Were just about to yell "hey, that's not how you use a cleaver!", then came the pineapple. Perfect!
The passion you have for your craft is beautiful.
Keep up the good work! Good luck!
Truly the top restoration channel on TH-cam- mechanics is the channel that other channels look up to
That looks more like a two-handed machete than a cleaver. The power button is a funny touch.
It's a carcass splitter. It's used in the slaughterhouse to split an animal in two lengthwise.
You would probably call a chinese chef`s knife a cleaver. Looks can be deceiving.
great 👍
A question about sandblasting - sometimes you soak it in a deruster first, sometimes not, sometimes put it in another cleaner, sometimes not. What determines whether you can go straight to sandblasting or if you have to do some other prep work first?
I have been wondering the same
If you have the use of a sandblaster it’s the fastest way to return the surface to bare metal. If you can’t blast it other methods are used which are much slower.
This is a very old video, as shown by the torn sand blaster switch cover. Made prior to his refinement of cleaning off surface rust to prolong the life of the media in the blaster.
I know that sometimes he cleans because there is dirt and other things and not just rust.
@@imagine_big9398 Sometimes sandblasting is too aggressive for delicate objects and other methods must be used.
The broken sandblaster switch cover is back! 🎉
Always so satisfying to watch this level of beauty and craftsmanship.
Watching this video puts my mind at ease.
The process of restoration puts your mind at ease.

Merry Christmas!!! 🎄
You are always so detail oriented and your craftsmanship is very precise. I love it.. another restoration spot on.
Beautiful antique tobacco chopping knife, I saw it listed on a TV show with Drew Prichard, a famous English antiques dealer. Watching your works is always a beautiful show.
You never cease to amaze!
Bravo!
I have always been a sucker for polished metal, and since it is meant to cut food bluing it would likely be a bad idea. Overall a great project!
Why would bluing be a dumb idea?
@@ReaperCH90 the bluing chemicals are toxic and can leach to food
Every single video just makes so in awe of your craftsmanship
You always do such a great job and you are definitely one of the best restorers out there! The blade finish looks very nice
The algorithm did good - who else??
Thanks a lot for watching :-)
This is got to be one of the nicest Restorations I've ever seen😊
