taking care of high carbon steel knives - removing rust 

This knife design was what introduced me to your knives. It was an awesome blade, but I gave it to my dad. Great instructional video.

this was really helpful!!! I'm doing a deep clean of my blades this week and this is super helpful

All those dings and dents gives the knife character…

Forcing a PATINA On your Carbon Steel Blades is a great Rust protector for them .

Good video restoration without shop full of expensive tools. Only additions is to remove rust from deep pits is old Naval Jelly and let rest for a while. The original formula left a rust resistant coating. The darkened patina I prefer over shiny. The dark patina was well earned by the knife. Shiny is merely user vanity. After removing rust jelly residue I wash blade in hot soapy water and super dry with hot hair dryer blower. When cool then sharpen to keen. I then properly measure out a small bit of two part epoxy and apply a thin coating to the now clean and dark blade. I use food measuring spoons for precise measuring of small quantities. The epoxy is a long term protection for the blade on normal use. The protected blade now looks and functions as a sharp old veteran.

Great! It worked just fine, thanks!

Thanks for the tips and I think for my purposes your tips will be perfect.

Thank you for the help

Great video.

Nice job.

use a product called etch and prep (phosphoric acid) then lightly sand it

What about a brass wirewheel? Softer than steel so it shouldn't mark it up right?

do not let it get rusty to start with, be vigilant, coat it with a smear of tallow, I have some knifes from the 1820,'s and they are still good. and I use them.

hey man when are you going to upload love youre vids 😁

what i did i sprayed some wd40 on it let is soak then get my electrical sandpaper machine and i got it clean in 2 minutes only have to sharpen it now

So u can't take these type handles off. I love the look but I wonder how long they last

I have knives that are 40 years old. They are so dark with patina that they do not rust. More patina you have less the food oxides. Basically maintenance free.

" prevention is better than cure " but you are been helpful, thanks.

If I'm already seeing some brown rust spots on my carbon steel Mora blade, is it too late to force a patina on there, or will it help keep it from rusting further?

I had a house fire and my knife collection got wet and most that are carbon ar rusted. Will these methods still work?

I left mine in me washer. The wd40 kicked ass though. Really got it nice and sharp. thank you.

Who's the maker of that knife ?? Where can I buy one ?? Thanks

can i buy this knife?

cute knife

Looks like mine. Colour doesn't seem to stop it working.

it looks used I think at the ending point its good looking

I'm guessing Coated blades are similare to Laminated steel blades

I use the WD40 but never considered the Scotch Brite. Thanks. atb Opal

The best protection & Lub against Rust is called EEZOX I use it on all of my Firarms & Fishing gear it works great against any Salt Water also.

One thing about Carbon Steel is you have to clean it all the time ...Where is if having a Stainless steel it only needs to be polished..

Did I miss the part about washing the knife after using wd40 before food prep?

i like the knife what knife is that?

Hi there i have a wood haNdle high carbon japanese steel "chef" knife. One of the rivets is gone from the handle. I am unsure what rivet to buy to fix the handle. It is a gt knife and i really want to keep it. Any advice appreciated.

Hello sir, what oil or wax is good to put on a carbon steel blade to prevent being rust?

Nice one bra

Any thoughts on using steel wool?

After make food with Carbon blade need clean good dry and put oil on blade...

Just use acid and super high grit sandpaper , use acid again , wash it off, oil it , then sharpen

thanks now i can clean my helmet

What you call rust I call discoloration natural to high carbon steel blades, but I'm new to knife collecting. I also use a tootbrush (Nylon brushes) to get vinegar and liquid dish soap into the 'pits' in the blade.

15 seconds in like 👁👄👁 how did he know

It rusts under a coating because there is already rust under the coating. Rust is a bitch, not to mention different metals have different times they can be open before coating them, and not having the possibility of corrosion starting. Some metals u have to almost sand as u coat because the time is so short.

First of all we should never let a knife get that far Rusting at all etc.

I just scribble over the rust with a pencil

My husband used a car buffer and proff. Cleaner Wax on my rusted out blade...took about 8 minutes and looks brand new. I was floored. Edit: the cleaner wax is used to remove oxidation on cars

first like 😀

I don't think carbon steel is worth all this. I am sworn stainless

The focus on this video. uggg
