I found this rusty old Japanese kitchen knife while browsing ebay. What a great find for my restoration projects. It has some rust and the handle needs to be replaced. I was a little surprised how much rust there was on the tang. Luckily it still had quite a bit of steel left so I didn't have to weld a new one on. I used copper and walnut for the handle. All the pitting was sanded from the blade and it was polished to super mirror shine.

@KnippenbergKnives 5 лет назад

Nice work. Thanks for sharing! I do reccomend to use a hard sanding stick when sanding (instead of your fingers) to assure that bevel transition line stays crisp. Also do all sanding strokes in a single direction, and alternate directions when changing grits. By doing so you can quite clearly see if you've removed all previous scratches before going up a grit. It also makes sure that all scratches that are still visible in your mirror polish all run in the same direction, which looks much cleaner.

※ Google translation Good!! The knife looks black is steel and the gray part is iron I hope that the nuances of steel and iron will be transmitted. The knife's steel cuts great but the grinding is tough If all says the thing of steel finely, it is called "honyaki（本焼き）" or "all steel（全鋼）" This kitchen knife is made of steel and iron (soft iron) So it cuts wonderfully and polishing is easy If we say such a type of kitchen knife in detail, it is also known as "Matched kitchen knife（合わせ包丁）" or "set steel（つけ鋼）" etc. Knife body and handle This part is baked in Japan Why do you do this? By baking the iron part of the knife handle Because the inside of the handle wood is burned and fixed It is an important point In the old way the candle will keep water out of the joints Epoxy resin is better now With a candle, it will soon disappear Since the part of the kitchen knife which is put in the handle of this kitchen knife is iron, when it is washed, water will collect in the gap of the tree and rust So I'm worried that the wood will rot and the iron will rust and break I hope it will be transmitted

@良い物無いかな 5 лет назад

※Google Translation I reviewed the whole video The important thing to fix Japanese steel knives is to keep the body cool In that respect he is trying not to give the body a fever Electric sanders are not a strong way of heating Why is the act of giving the knife a fever? The knife's steel is very delicate to heat Heat will alter the content of the steel and it will not cut off A knife that can not be sharpened but cut is called (Namakura（なまくら）) In Japan, steel knives are very easy to rust but they cut well, so care is taken care of Wash and rinse with hot water every time you use and let it dry well I often polish and apply oil By doing so, the kitchen knife will be used for as long as twenty years It would be better to make the main body of the kitchen knife into a mirror surface with less rust. I think that it is very good if sealing is done so that water does not enter with adhesive. Some people do not seal in Japan There will be hundreds of knives and replacement handles on sale. And it may be because it is a forgotten technique, because such a technique is not necessary for the handle style of the western knife over time I admire his restoration(￣ー￣)ｂｸﾞｯ!

Mike Nunyabizness he probably picked the knife up at a tag sale or maybe even out of the trash. So no matter how he restored it he probably saved the knife from being thrown away and to never be seen again. I’ve seen other restorations he’s done and they weren’t done correctly but the end result was stunning just like this knife. He restores these items for aesthetics so they either LOOK new or better than new, not necessarily for functionality that would be a different RU-vid channel ie. Gun restoration for dummies or Knife restoration for anal retentive idiots. I am a chef by trade and have knives like Masamoto and Shun so I’m not just talking out of my ass. At the end of the day he does an awesome job restoring things and producing great entertaining videos. Keep up the great work. Mike please stop trolling/hating on him and maybe give him some advice here and there. マイク彼はおそらくタグの販売で、あるいはゴミからさらにナイフを拾った。それで、彼がどのようにそれを回復したとしても、彼はおそらくナイフが捨てられるのを防ぎ、二度と見られないようにしたのでしょう。私は彼が行った他の修復を見たことがあり、それらは正しく行われなかったが、最終結果はちょうどこのナイフのように驚くべきものだった。彼はこれらのアイテムを美学のために修復しているので、それらは新機能または新機能よりも優れているかのどちらかである。ダミーのための銃の回復または肛門の保持的な馬鹿のためのナイフの回復。私は職業のシェフで、MasamotoとShunのようなナイフを持っているので、私は自分のお尻から話すだけではありません。一日の終わりに彼は物事を復元し、素晴らしい面白いビデオを制作する素晴らしい仕事をします。これからもいい結果を出し続けてください。マイクは彼にトローリング/嫌いをやめて多分彼にあちこちで彼に助言を与えなさい。

This is NOT an example of "lazy man's Damascus" (that is rather arrogant!) nor was it ever meant to be "Damascus". This was an every day kitchen knife (possibly a "petty" from its size). It was intended to have the two types of steel. one (harder) to hold the very fine edge and allow excellent resharpening while the other (softer but less brittle and more flexible)) protects that harder but more brittle core. It is a common design of a traditional and affordable Japanese single bevel kitchen knife, not a bloody sword! Are the paring and utility knives in your kitchen "Damascus"?

@OriginalFallofMind Год назад

That would be more hon-kasumi. 2 layers of steel like clad. Jigane soft outer to protect the hard Hagane steel. Mokume-gane is more the japanese style of what people call damascus. The characters "white steel" would most likely be Shirogami. That is a quality piece. I personally wouldn't have rounded that bevel. Maybe more of the original finish with a cool handle.

@tom.northshore 3 года назад

First off the "flat side" actually is sloped. Second, you insulted every japanese blacksmith by calling the two layers of steel "lazy mans damascus". In case you didn't know, Japanese knives since 1400 have been made with a layer of steel on either side protecting the core which is most often shriogami or aogami. You need to do some research about japanese knives because I can tell you know very little. Do your research

@markspc1 4 года назад

Odd Tinkering guy; This knife is not a "lazy man's Damascus" it is a nimai forged weld. That is one layer is soft steel and one layer of high carbon steel. I am surprised that you are restoring a classical Japanese Deba knife and you did not bother to do any research. Long time ago high carbon steel was difficult to make so to take advantage of the short supply the Japanese developed a two layers knife blade, a nimai blade is two layers as compared to sanmai (aka Warikomi) that is three layers. It has nothing to do with Damascus, and FYI Damascus has nothing to do with pattern-weld blades. Hope you can increase your skills and not get hurt using tools.

I got a deba knife that looked very similar rust and all recently. I just did a very minor blade restoration just by soaking in vinegar and scrubbing. Since I can’t do any woodworking or anything like that I couldn’t remove the handle. But mine is carbon steel and that’s why it rusted. I assume that one probably was carbon steel as well and you just polished it. Also I’m not sure how the sanding would affect it in a kitchen capacity since it has such a particular use. It does look absolutely incredible and seems like a great knife now but I’m very curious if the sanding affected the single bevel having sanded on both sides.

@epicnezzer 5 лет назад

it's incredibly hard to read, and I speak Chinese, not Japanese? but it looks an awful lot like the second set of characters is 米山? That looks like a name to me, but it could be 亦山 too. Hopefully it helps to have the characters to copy paste, but I'm not able to help much further.

A really cool knife, if this knife initally is only sharpened to one side its used for cutting fish ^-^ its to ensure its a clean a cut as possible. The other type which looks identical to this one and is very simular to a western chef knife and its called a gyuto. It's sharpened on both sides and is used as a multi tool knife more or less like the ones used in the west. The main difference though is japanese blades tend to be thinner but sharper and a insanely good cutter of meat, veg, fruit etc but not quite as good as the western chef knife for tougher things. A Western style can also be very sharp of course but is more heavy duty, it can tackle anything from a tomato to a Pumpkin to even bones if its sharpened properly but downside it tends to be heavier, looses its edge faster and cant cut quite as thin ^-^ (PS im a chef and i've used both styles of knives)

More of a repurpose-ing job rather than a restoration, no? The only original piece of the blade, you basically made yourself a new knife rather than make the old one like-new.

They are supposed to be only two layers. You made a good restoration, but you kind of ruined the blade for a japanese kitchen knife nerd..just saying in all friendlieness.

Oh, the tang on this poor knife. It warms my heart to see you put so much soul into every restoration. These videos warm my heart, they really do.

Not actually poor mans damascus, damascus these days functions more as an aesthetic thing than a practical thing. This however is done so that the cutting edge can be made out of a much stronger carbon steel which will hold a great edge and then the rest of the blade can be of a softer more rust resistant material. Even with damascus knives the same thing is done, you will have an outer layer of damascus for a cool look, but then serves no better practical purpose than using a single softer metal and the cutting edge will still be a single high end steel like vg-10 or something

If you spend 4 hours in this video, you should make more than 4 x 15 = 60 dollar making this video

A small cut while sanding... that reminded me of the time I made a small keychain in 3D art class and tried sanding for the first time, only to realize too late that I had been cutting into my thumb with the sandpaper for a while. It wasn’t enough to bleed, but there were so many cuts that the skin on my thumb looked just messed up.

You might have gotten rid of all the rust the first time if you used a wire brush to clean off the worst of it before using the liquid stuff. Also why would you clean the rust off in the liquid if it’s reusable? Clean that stuff off out of that expensive stuff. Use your brain please.
