It took me a month just to sharpen the battered Japanese Knife . I develop various instruments and tools. Click here for the plan jsk-koubou.stores.jp/
Thanks for taking the effort to add captions. 👍 Heads-up, at one point (5:46) the English subtitles are not in English. Heads-up x 2, at several points you make a minor English mistake that wouldn't be worth nitpicking about (since you took the effort to do them to begin with!), but since it changes the meaning I'm bringing it to your atention. When you talk about "dents" I was very confused, as I saw no holes in the edge proper. Then I realized you meant the _pits_ caused by the rust. 😁
Hello, great master. I always enjoy watching your videos. You work with patience and precision, and this makes the result of your work excellent and accurate. Good luck and mighty master with skill
Would have liked to see the maker's marks left, perhaps fading the polish to leave the original patina at the top of the blade? All the same, nice job 👍
Definition of "Hobby": Achieving the least revenue, with the greatest possible effort. A great example of craftsmanship, patience and also respect for the beauty and sharpness that comes out from under the rust!
For those who don't know, this is a right-handed knife for fish filleting, called a deba. They are usually made of carbon steel because that can be made sharper, but prone to rust, of course, as seen in this video. Left-handed deba are widely available in Japan, but I am not sure about overseas. If you are left-handed, be sure to get the correct-handed deba ! It is impossible to use a right-handed deb with the left hand, and vice-versa, as it will dig into the fish bones and generally make a big mess.
Wow, the craftsmanship on this knife is simply astounding. It's clear that restoring a knife of this caliber requires immense dedication and skill. You truly are a master in your craft, and your attention to detail is commendable. This video of you sharpening your knives for a month is intriguing, and I can't wait to see the incredible results! 🔪✨🔧
My first thought was: At least it has a long robust Tang. You can do almost anything, but if the Tang is bad, it's almost a waste of time. This is rusty but thick.
Agreed your tang quality can make or break the show. As a child the baseball team would have pizza parties hosted by a different parents home. And the lower middle class parents would provide orange tang possibly grape which was equally acceptable. Then we'd go to a more upperclass parents home a different week and they would put out somehing crazy like pineapple or horchatas flavor tang which was as you say just a waste of time. It wasn't until I was saying 16 or 17 until I was to discover Wu-Tang and I was really able to start making sense of the world. In the end It always comes down to Tang quality when deciding whether something's worth doing or not
Another masterpiece you are amazing and inspiring! Make me want to go sharpen up some overdue chisels and planes that are in need of tuning and just been putting off! 😂
I should’ve known better, is the perfect guy, with perfect wooden tools, with a perfect results on everything that he does, because he’s the perfect guy in the woodworking business ! I can’t help, but think he’s the perfect man!
Wow, that’s a very thick piece of steel and worth fixing! When restoring a knife I start with rust remover (chemical process), followed by belt grinding (I use an OBM 2x72), then I move on to more refined whetstone work. I find this to be the fastest way to restore.
🔪✨🔧 Absolutely mind-blowing craftsmanship! The level of skill and dedication required to restore a knife of this caliber is truly awe-inspiring. Your attention to detail is exceptional, and it's intriguing to witness your month-long journey of sharpening these knives. I'm eagerly anticipating the incredible results you'll achieve. Keep up the amazing work! Can't wait to see more. ⚒🔥💪
This is by far one of the best restaurations I've seen. Too many people only care about the mirror finish but still leave the knife pitted, they don't care about the flatness of the edges or the transitions between them. They attack it with power tools like Philistines without understanding the craft involved or the longevity and usability of the work piece, while you have an obvious love for these things.
Die Elektrowerkzeuge mit langsam drehendem Wasserstein führen zu einem exakten Freiwinkel der Schneide. Wie deutlich zu sehen ist bekommt er das freihändig nicht hin.
I think this would have been much quicker and easier with diamond stones like my ATOMO 100, and 400. It'd likely be possible to do 4 knives like this in a month using the right stones to complete the initial reprofiling. Having the sandblasting equipment was a good idea. Wish I had that. I gather that you can get attachments for pressure washes which can draw in blasting sand, but I've not seen one for my Gerni pressure washer. I'm sad that the maker's mark has been permanently removed from this blade. It would have been considerate to etch that back on after the restoration.
Los mejores referente a la elaboración de cuchillos ( los japoneses). Toda una obra de arte la restauración de este cuchillo 😮. La dedicación y paciencia da como resultado éste final asombroso
Absolutely superlative job. All my respects. Unfortunately here in France, and in Europe in general, it's very hard to get proper Japanese sharpening stones, especially the very large ones like you use. I was wondering what the white powder you sprinkled on the stone was? You brought back the rusty old knife back to life as a thing of beauty.
I love all your videos. You have lots of great ideas and you are so diligent. That sounds awesome. Bravo and thank you for everything you share. あなたのビデオはすべて大好きです。あなたは素晴らしいアイデアをたくさん持っていて、とても勤勉です。それはすごいですね。ブラボー、あなたが共有してくれたすべてに感謝します
G'day and Hajimemashite JSK-koubou san, Your craftmanship and passion for what do, has my complete and humble admiration to the meaning of perfection. BRAVO ZULU mate. Hooroo and tsugi no bedeo made!
Muy buena restauracion, el acero al carbono es sin duda el mejor filo, precisa de muchos cuidados, el acero japones tradicional es al carbon. Me parece que en el proceso de quitar el oxido, tambien se quito las letras, una pena no se hayan recreado. Felicitaciones por el trabajo manual, pero valio la pena.
Beautiful result especially knowing the starting point. The quality of this blade definitely deserved the effort to bring it back to life. A couple remarks, though : - the handle seems slightly too long and would, in my opinion, be nicer with a darker finish. - the knife should not be mirror polished on the flat side nor especially on the bevel, as these are areas where the sharpening takes place. Maintaining the knife sharpness will lead to destroying this mirror finish anyway. If you intend to use the knife.
Great restoration! Very nice piece of steel you have saved their. But one thing. Don't use brass on a knife if you want too use it. It is the first thing that will go unpleasant till time if you don't polish it regular. I Use titanium or stainless steal instead of Brass. But that is also that i like silver more than gold looks. But great save of a tool for cooks.
The knife became beautiful - as a toy, amazing. It' a pity that original mark was removed while restoring. The handle seems too simple. But your work is exellent!
Gran trabajo maestro, pero es un vídeo muy largo, lo ideal serian dos partes de 15 minutos máximo, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un cordial saludo y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia)👍🤓😜
