Rusty japanese chef’s knife restoration - Seki Magoroku Gyuto
This one took a while ! I filmed everything the full video over the course of an entire month, but I’m quite happy with the result.
This Seki Magoroku gyuto was in poor shape and I wasn’t able to bring it to a brand new condition but it’s now a completely usable knife ready to find a new home. I’m very happy with the handle and this blade now cuts wonderfully.
If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment !
Thanks for watching :)

Rusty Japanese knife restoration - Tadafusa nakiri
Переглядів 12 тис.2 місяці тому
This project took more time than I expected but it was very fun ! I love working with nakiris and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this one was made by Tadafusa, not some random garbage knife. The handle making part was a bit underwhelming with the holes in the ferrule and I could have probably fixed it better with some wood glue and wood dust but I didn’t want to take that risk on this p...
Japanese knife restoration - Masamoto gyuto to bunka
Переглядів 83 тис.3 місяці тому
This took many hours and a lot of elbow grease, but I think it was worth it ! This was my biggest restoration project ever and I’m quite pleased with the result. I turned this western handle Masamoto gyuto into a wa-handle bunka with an ebony and ziricote handle. That conversion from yo to wa handle is very fun but takes a lot of work and a little bit of practice to get right ! As a big wa-hand...
Chopin Ballade no. 1 coda on a 100 years old piano
Переглядів 2,4 тис.2 роки тому
I found this piano in the house that my family rented for holidays. It was an Erard, a French piano manufactured in 1928, so almost 100 years old ! It was a bit out of tune but the sound was surprisingly good for a piano this old I played the coda of Chopin’s first Ballade, plenty of mistakes and tempo inaccuracies but i didn’t have enough time to get a better shot so here it is (and yes i chan...

Do you mean this exact knife or rusty knives ?
pretty amazing hard work
Thanks!
where can i get the rusty knives
On ebay
You did it well 😍😍
Thanks :)
Very nice
Are you open on selling any knives you restore like this one?
Impressive! are you going to sell the knife now? how much money did you make restoring it?
Yes, I did actually sell it for 140€ !
Do you resell these knives?
yep !
Restaurada Faca 🔪😉
Where are you buying those knives from seems like a great deal
From eBay
From those auctions? I used to do that but there are much less knives on sale recently
@@yuvalkaplan8750yeah, auctions most of the time. You really gotta look often and pretty deep to find some nice stuff. I got really lucky on this set with some pretty sweet blades
The green stone is naniwa 1000?
@@ft5740 yes, Naniwa pro 1000
@@dnarvarg thanks tou
Nice one! Where do you find the old knives? Ive been looking for some to practice my grinding on.
@@biscuitkitchentreviews thanks ! I find them on eBay
Even though the initial model of the handle was stronger, it was actually made smaller so it was fragile and easily broken.
Sucks how rust eats at the material and pits it like that
yeah rust is a bitch…
At 7:18 what are those pellets ? Candle wax? Hot glue sliced up? Also on the handle linseed oil or boiled linseed oil? Thanks, great job, makes me want to try it !
@@daniel189888 it’s hot glue sliced up ! And the oil is boiled linseed oil
@@dnarvarg Thanks !
What kind of steel is that? I must have missed that part. It doesn't look clad at all.
@@ericfg806 no idea about the steel, but yes it’s a mono steel, no cladding here. It must be some Seki Magoroku proprietary carbon steel or something generic. It didn’t feel very hard, probably sub 60 HRC
I like that you didn't eliminate the moderate pitting. Just cleaned it up and gave it an edge.
yeah, even if i had wanted to remove all the pitting i couldn’t have done it ! but it gives it character, i like it
Outstanding work love seeing old rusty knives being bought back to life. You do amazing work keep it up
@@simonboyden7868 thanks a lot ! :)
Nice job! Always looking forward for your uploads, especially because you don't use those pro tools that most of the people have, but basic stuff. Anyway, how is your parkside grinder holding up? I was thinking about getting one because price is decent, is thinning knifes hard on it or it has fine amount of power?
thanks man, i really appreciate it ! The Parkside belt grinder is fine, for 100€ it’s definitely a safe buy. However if i had to change it i’d probably get a thinner belt, which would allow me to be more precise hopefully. Also the parkside belts aren’t very good so I ordered some better ones, i’ll tell you if it changes anything to my review !
Awesome video was great to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support
curious, why a slow grind on the tip rather than take a chunk off with an angle grinder/band saw/etc?
You could actually use an angle grinder but you have to be careful not to cut too close to the shape you want because the heat will change the heat treatment. Using the belt takes more time but as I didn’t have any experience doing this, it was safer !
Gorgeous!!!! Such a beautiful knife, and such a beautiful job! You're incredible sir, congratulations!!
Thank you so much !
how long did it take you? i‘m also considering a knife restoration
@@executer3330 about 6 to 7 hours
Fantastic!
Thank you :)
VSM ceramic belts help keeping the temps down when using no water
Yep, I’ll have to try these at some point. There’s just not cheap so I haven’t splurged yet
@@dnarvarg Here in Europe they are cheap, not as the chinese ones, but cheap :)

I think that the handle imperfections give it character. 😊
Well I’m glad you like it ! :)
Bloody beautiful
thanks !
very nice work! i especially like the handle
Thank you very much!
nice work. what are those white pellets you stuffed into the handle?
Thanks ! These are some shavings from glue sticks that are made for glue guns ! I just use the beeswax at the end to do a final seal and prevent water from leaking inside the handle
I am blown away at what you can do with a few hand tools and some hard work. Absolutely wonderful restoration, please upload more! I subscribed!
@@KingParzival thanks a lot man, that means a lot to me ! I’ll try to post as much as I can !
@@dnarvarg well you're on the right track, absolutely love the simplicity of your work. SO good
Hi, what type of glue did you use to attach the handle?
Some glue sticks that are made for glue guns
amazing work! what was the white stuff you put in the handle? Is it some type of resin?
Thank you ! It’s some glue sticks that are made for glue guns
Excellent job on the resto! I've subscribed to see more knife work. Request: do a Western knife when you have time, please.
Thank you ! I might do western handles at some point but I first want to be really comfortable with wa-handles, so I’ll stick with that for now
Whats the white flakes you just put inside is that some kind of super glue???
Those are glue sticks that you’re supposed to use with glue guns
Amazing. What glue did you use inside the handle?
Wax :)
@@methilda2927 beeswax?
@@soverain I think candlewax, the beeswax is just to top ot off as the final layer. At least thats what I think from watching the video 👍
@@methilda2927 thanks, I was very not aware of this method of gluing. Was not expecting this to be strong enough.
Some glue sticks that are made for glue guns ! Just using wax wouldn’t be strong enough, I just use the beeswax at the end to do a final seal and prevent water from leaking inside the handle
please pardon me for my ignorance, but isn't that the shape of a kiritsuke?
So a kirtuske is traditionally a single bevel knife with about +200mm in blade length. The use of the term kiritsuke deviated from its original meaning and it is now used to refer to double bevel knifes with a k-tip (that pointy tip) that are +200mm in blade length. When a knife has that k-tip but is closer to 170-180mm, it’s called a bunka. If it’s below 150mm, it’s called a ko-bunka !
@@dnarvarg Okey, I didn't know that thanks for taking your time to explain that to me, nice restoration btw, you did a pretty Great job there
could i send knives for you to restore?
Hey, depending on the knife I could do that you. You can send me an email with the details at samuel2017.gravrand@gmail.com
you should use epoxy resin to glue the wood pieces together
@@antoninarsenault2754 yes you’re right, I really need to buy some
how do u know if a restoration is worth it? is it a specific kind of steel you are looking for? im very interested into starting restorations as i find them fascinating but i dont know how to tell if a project is worth of my time and effort
@@alexpap6427 it’s quite hard actually… I bought a few project knives that I regretted purchasing later because they were too damaged for me to restore. The best way is to start with some very lightly damaged blades and see how well you do before tackling more destroyed knives. As per knowing if a knife is really worth it, spend some time on kitchen knives forums to learn how to recognize a good knife, learn a few kanjis to identify good makers and try a lot of knives ! You’ll quickly be able to tell if a knife is rubbish or not
Donde compraste todos esos cuchillos?
Where do you buy rusty knives like that?

Hey! Love your work Wich sandpaper use for that finish? 😮
