Perfect Japanese knife restoration. /Old Rusty Deba Knife / 

Oh I'm so happy you saved the handle. I don't normally care if people decide to replace the wood but when there is writing it feels more special. It looks so amazing!

Super interesting way of trying to preserve the handle 👍🏾👍🏾

Hello mister beautiful knife good restoration very sharp well done

Love that you saved the handle with the engraving! Great save!

OMG, I almost cried out in anguish when you cut the handle but you made the save. Fantastic restoration. You just earned another subscriber. Well done.

great restoration dear i like it

Very professional.

great job!

Fantastic repair to enable you to reuse the original handle… 👏 It turned out incredible!

amazing

One of the most cool knives I've worked with. Greetings

Beautiful work. Congratz!

Love that you leave some of the patina. really gives the knife a lot of character and authenticity. one of the best restoration channels for sure!

Feared for your hands with the chisel work while removing the handle! 😮

👏👏👏👏👏

Hi buddy, I liked your job, beautiful result 👍

Great work 👏 👏

Very nice restoration, very sharp.

Muhtesem görünüyor çok güzel olmuş Gerçekten eline emeğine sağlık üstadım

this is so cool move!

Отличная работа!!!

That sharpener is cool!

Respekt meister, Grüsse aus Deutschland

Glad you saved that handle!

Здравствуйте! Хорошая реставрация! Мне понравилась!

I do love to see the OG handle restored, and the urasuki respected. Shinogi should be the whole forward band on a Deba but apart from that, nicely done. 👍

You saved the handle but didn't grind the edge the same why not?? Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

Bello y delicado trabajo, saludos Perú.

That was a lot of work on that old blade but nicely done.

The handle is especially good! Rave.

That’s not how you sharpen this type of Japanese knife.

You could have drilled the pin and saved the handle!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Робота супер!!!!!!!

Very good job! I had one that was the same, all rusty, I sanded it and it was also beautiful, but now every time I wash it after using it, it loosens rust on some parts, how can I avoid that?

Those single bevel knives are substantial pieces of steel and not cheaply made as they are usually hand forged one at a time. The Deba, in particular, is a good, hefty blade usually and this example is no exception. Not inexpensive either, so this is well worth being restored. No discernable nicks in the blade edge either. The "wa bocho" style knives take a bit of getting used to (I have quite a collection of them) but they are worth every cent. It looks like someone messed up the sharpening way back when, particularly on the bevel side but your careful sharpening shows the two laminated layers of steel quite nicely.

@6:00 Taking out the blade for that utility knife is slick! 😅

Сделанный на века

Do you have a service sit? I have a large machete about 20 inches or so I was wondering if you had ppl send you blades and you restore them

Handle Part WD-40: Am I a joke to you ?

If any of you haters get one for yourself, sharpen yours any way you want.

Wife just said we share the same brain, unsure what that means for either of us

What solution did you use to start the rust removal before you started sanding? Great job, great content, great outcome! Subscribed and liked.

Love the video, hate the amount of vitriol in the comments by some. It's how I imagine a 'how to brew perfect coffee/tea' comment section would be, but worse. The knife world seems very....cutthroat. Keep up the good work man; I like the format of your video. Gonna watch some more

👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👏

kitty get hungry 3:14 🥰

Российские камушки в наборе приятно удивили))

I have the same knife and rusting issue, is there a way to get it stainless?

What angle did you set the tsprof to?

Magnolia was not cooperative at all. A bang on your hand, a small crack but all is well. I like all your work but above all your decision to keep the manufacturer's handle. Deba is a beastly but powerful and elegant knife. Beautiful result, congratulations.

lol. Ive been there, dont that. can be frustrating

how to ruin a japanese blade..

At 15 min 54sec, why was it necessary to heat the tang with propane torch before inserting it in handle?

Sao ko nấu nước sôi cho vô lấy cán dể hơn

Ручка и так была хорошей но зачем было её ломать а потом делать не понятно а так всё хорошо.

Where do you get these Old knifes?

Let this be a lesson to everyone, this is *NOT* how you sharpen a traditional Japanese knife.

Каверн дофига осталось😡 Как кухонный не годится☝🏻 И что с ним теперь делать? Бумажки кромсать?)

Mmmm interesting, a second bevel. Not very typical of a Deba.

🍣🍣🍣🍣

Why did you cut the handle of the knife? It was very good wood to restore and continue to use.

Заточка испортила этот нож навсегда.

At the starting of the video I told myself" if he will not save this handle, this restoration is a waste"!

Perfect? Thems fighting words

The engineering of a Japanese knife is a single bevel (Left or Right Hand) design, with a flat slightly hollow back design. The ENTIRE 1.25cm bevel on the right side of the blade is intended to be the sharpening surface and acts as a guide to maintain the constant bevel when sharpening. What you have done is to double bevel that edge compromising the utility of the blade. It will work, however not as intended. That blade is considered to be a Deba Hocho or Butcher Knife used primarily in the large scale butchering of whole fish down to size for later use in a Sushi restaurant. It is also used for light butchering of other meats. The double bevel on the one edge alone will cause the edge to want to bury into what it is running against and snag. The reason for the 1.25cm bevel is that it gives the user a wider surface to run over say fish bones and act as a guide. The double bevel will force the knife to want to move upward into the flesh and not ride smoothly along the bones. It is fine to have chosen to sharpen it that way and your knife will work adequately enough. Just sad to see that happen. I would also have liked to see a proper full restoration. Silicone Carbide paper stuck to a sheet of glass clamped to the bench and time taken to completely grind out the pitting, and then proper attention paid to the wide single bevel before then using large Japanese water stones to sharpen the blade fully and polish the surfaces. When that is done it wonderfully displays the forging line (Hamon) of the harder edge steel and softer blade steel. Here is a link showing a Deba, the single bevel and the Hamon: www.hocho-knife.com/goh-umanosuke-yoshihiro-jousaku-jchc-m-white-2-steel-deba-knife-180mm-with-magnolia-wood-handle/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhqaVBhCxARIsAHK1tiPmOHRhpzTGVXQ5S10hocQcdpv558uJdiFULSFwRyoOqVR2LYgGdb8aApBxEALw_wcB I commend anyone restoring rather than throwing something away, but I just would have liked to see a longer and complete restoration of this lovely blade.

Why did he destroy the handle?

龍- Dragon 千- thousand 代- generation however Japanese model simplified writing dragon is 竜 龍 ancient Chinese writing Hongkong and Taiwan still using nowadays

You did wonderfully until you completely ruined the function of the knife by sharpening it like that. The entire main bevel should be basically a flat plane from the Shinogi line to the edge, with only a tiny microbevel. And the back side of a single bevel knife should only every be sharpened laying absolutely flat on stones. It should not be given a bevel. Best of luck for your future endeavors.

Blade angle is too steep my friend.

Создаётся стойкое ощущение, что люди страдают х...ей, всё можно сделать проще и удобнее...

Где масло на заточных алмазных аамнях ?

There was no need to remove that handle. You could have easily cleaned up the blade without removing it.

k chuyên nghiệp

Please learn how to sharpen Japanese cutlery. You made the baby tentacle monster cry.

Здорова. Есть ссылка на точильный станок?

Можно точный рисунок ножа

Lamento, mas perfeita a restauração não foi. Obviamente ficou muito melhor do que antes, mas não foi perfeita.

Nice restore but not correct with the sharpening.

The sharpener 😫

Что за извращения с рукояткой ? можно было старую не снимать , просто почистить . а коли уж снял , то делать целиком новую .

The knife looks unused. Did you buy a new knife and made it rusty for this video?

Not impressed, a fancy sharpening jig but no grinder or buffer? He also left the knife with black pitts in it.

Это российскии точильный станок ?

I dont know why you took the handle off.. A mirror finish would have been nice..

Destrozar un mango original.. ¿y a eso le llaman restauración?; yo le llamo chapuza, por no decir algo mucho más fuerte. CHAPUZERO

Зачем ручку хорошую захерачил, непонятно. Горе реставратор.

Omg you obviously don't know how to sharp a traditional japanese knife. Good work anyway.

Butchered the bevel.

Oh my God. What in the name of Sweet Baby Jesus have you done to that beautiful deba? Get a set of water stones and learn about blade geometry!!!

No good knife Sharpener!

Handle is pristine, what a faker 😂

You sharpened the knife in the wrong way, you increased the angle of the blade, which you should not have done! Japanese knives have a maximum blade angle of 15 degrees, and you increased the blade angle by another 2 degrees, most likely! Japanese knives are sharpened exclusively by hand on quality waterstone!

You butchered the sharpening job. You took to much material off the edge. Learn how to use a whetstone

please don`t make any more videos of japanese knives restoration. this one was painful to watch to people who does this kind of job.

Cringe! You should of googled how to sharpen a deba knife.

It is a Deba knife - it shouldn't be sharpened like the regular European knife with a bevel...
