Me neither, but I did like that he kept in the fail castings as well as the final successful one. I like to see how things go wrong just as much as seeing them go right.
@@DimNussens this - of course there will eventually be a successful casting, but what we can learn most from are failures, so thanks for not omitting them :)
Even if i’m not a huge fan of metal handles i have to admit that this is quite cool, because it contrasts perfectly with the dark blade itself, good job!
Including your casting failures was the best thing you did in this video. People learn just as much from mistakes (and seeing them) as they do from successes. Probably even more.
Thanks for showing the fails! Always great to pick up experience without going through the failure yourself. Great looking cleaver. Fantastic video as usual.
@@kat-rau. They're also terrible for your hand due to metals not absorbing reverberations. We've told him this shit numerous times and he just ignores us. It basically makes these cleavers useless for any real use.
@@yaelbhm9849 And I loathe that. This tool still has decades, if not centuries, of life left in it, especially unlike a lot of modern tools. As a cook, it feels like sacrilege to treat a knife this way.
Love your dedication and improvisation after each fail, as much as I'd love to see a wooden handle on this type of carver. Please keep these videos coming!
Man do not listen to these haters. You are just awesome 👏, it’s so fun watching your videos, and the things that you are restoring is like OMG. Keep it up bro
The second I realized that you were casting a handle I rolled my eyes. I am so over people doing that on UA-cam. But as I watched, I have to say that I am glad I hung in there. It actually looks really good - maybe because it’s not brass? Well done, sir
Great for chopping wood. But if you are going to use it for a meat cleaver, you will need to smooth out the blade. That pitted surface is a paradise for bacteria.
My Name is Nobody It's funny how guys who restore kitchen knives and cleavers never consider that very important point. Also, a knife should have an ergonomic handle. Tools are meant to be used; they should at least look the part.
There was a very ornate large Japanese knife, highly detailed design on the handle and extended into an engraving on the blade; in an ad for a knife convention or something on the video before this one 😬
Your problem with the casts was that you weren’t making the 2nd hole for the release of the gasses to ensure a continuous flow through the mold. The 3rd time you made the second hole but you poured some of the aluminum down it blocking the gasses from escaping properly which is why a portion of the handle did not fully cover the tang of the cleaver. Try pouring it through the first pour spout until you see the aluminum rise up from the second. This will greatly improve you chances for a successful pour
I love your videos, but I don't understand the metal scales. I'm assuming its to show us how casting metal is done. But still, slick metal handle with zero traction and shock absorber on a super heaving cleaver is just silly and bordering on offensive. With a little moisture from blood or sweat that thing is flying out of your hand three stooges style. But I'm still watching your videos as they come out, you are an awesome craftsman.
My night time watching sorted 👌 btw I love that you include fails in your video to really show the process, I think too many get wrapped up in looking perfect, this was great and came out fantastic. Can't wait for the next video 👍
The presstube channel is a good example of casting. You could hack someones arm off with one chop of that thing! Good job. The electrolysis never fails to amaze me.
3rd time lucky m8 that is 1 hell of a meat cleaver nice handle the down side is by time it had taken u 2 cast the handy cud of made a wooden 1 like the original but u had patience and it worked happy days 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Not going to unlike it, because you clearly stated in the description that you enjoy this form of handle making. Seems like a ton of resources for a “restoration”. Having said that, I’m jealous of that cleaver steel and love your videos, even though I’m on the fence for this one. Regardless, keep em coming!
Why the people dislike what they wait when they comming here ?witch is there object of comparison to dislike ? Srly its incomprehensible Amazing work gg
in a hundred years your great grandson will do a restoration and ask the question how the hell did this handle get on there???? hahahah great work as always. Thank you for sharing.
I'm personally a fan of wood handles, but I like metal work of many kinds. Try making a wax form with vents then making a mold using that. Once the wax is melted out it'd be a lot easier to have a successful pour

hi mr. beard
next time do a Katana
Ah! I paid 5€! Excellent deal.
Black Beard Projects I would like to buy the cleaver or find one for me I am cook and knife collector heheheh
The bevel is incorrect, but I think you know that.
I love that you left the bulk of it black and that there are just a couple of things that are super shiny. It's very striking and unique. Great job!
I love that you don't play music like other restorers (Is that even a word?) do.
Oh boy. You need to start watching My Mechanics. Also Rescue and Restore as well as TysyTube.
And restore It, hand tool rescue
@@bentarr17 @lur ezpe
thanks for the recommendations yall
because that sounds are just a type of asmr!
If you close your eyes you can hear Jimmy diresta...
By #3 i was like..."Dude.. just make a wooden handle" Glad you stuck with it.
I really don't like metal handles, I prefer the wood ones.. but your job was impeccable as always! cheers
Me neither, but I did like that he kept in the fail castings as well as the final successful one. I like to see how things go wrong just as much as seeing them go right.
@@DimNussensI totally agree
@@DimNussens this - of course there will eventually be a successful casting, but what we can learn most from are failures, so thanks for not omitting them :)
i agree a million times
Can you tell me some yt channels of wood ?
Even if i’m not a huge fan of metal handles i have to admit that this is quite cool, because it contrasts perfectly with the dark blade itself, good job!

- please don't make alu handle
_sees styrofoam_
- ah shit here we go again
Ahah!!
Could have been copper this time. As a little surprise..
@@BlackBeardProjects still a great job nonetheless! turned out looking great and I believe that was your aim.
Black Beard Projects hahaha dude you really gotta leave that thing everyone is hating It
I like his handles as they are not thick and clunky, this one came out great.
All these pour fails are trying to tell you DO NOT USE AN ALUMINUM HANDLE!
No
Im glad u put the before in the thumbnail so it doesnt spoil the video 😄
Thanks for showing the fails! Always great to pick up experience without going through the failure yourself. Great looking cleaver. Fantastic video as usual.
Wooden handle beats alu every single time.
I was hoping he'd make a wooden handle after fail #2. Metal handles just look so tacky.
@@kat-rau. They're also terrible for your hand due to metals not absorbing reverberations. We've told him this shit numerous times and he just ignores us. It basically makes these cleavers useless for any real use.
@@KainYusanagi if you had read the description you would know it is a showpiece, it's not meant to be an ergonomic tool

He is free of his choice. do it if its better for you
Ah, the old shovel knife!
Love your dedication and improvisation after each fail, as much as I'd love to see a wooden handle on this type of carver.
Please keep these videos coming!
Historic tools deserve more respect!
How about a compromise, polished metal bolsters with quality wooden handles.
as said in description its just for fun - man loves casting metal so he does it no matter how impractical it is
Yor mom iz miy girfrend
Realized you were doing aluminum and was not psyched. Finished it and actually really grew on me!
That DiResta shave test was of another level. Awesome result as usual.
I can watch your videos all day you are immensely talented and you don't give up easy as demonstrated in your video
Man do not listen to these haters. You are just awesome 👏, it’s so fun watching your videos, and the things that you are restoring is like OMG. Keep it up bro
Man you deserve a like and a comment. Great persistence.
Very nice of you to show the failed attempts as well. It's inspiring.
That Is awesome and I love how you are not afraid to show the fails
They used to use cleavers like that for butchering Brontosaurus's to feed the town of Bedrock.
And if Crocodile Dundee would see that coming out from your jacket, he'd poop his pants...
True
Run dino run
I got super excited wen i saw the foam come out for a handle pour!! Keep doing those whn you can love to see it!
Really cool restoration. The blade feels very much like an ol' butcher meat cleaver. I've seen some very similar in the uk.
That skin test was really funny! Nice job!
watching your videos is so satisfying
Really loves your project m.r. Black beard. You have very good skills 👌 cool projects. Thumbs up for you 👍
And by the way. This is a Badass cleaver 😮👍
Very nice work.
Best restoration video I've seen
The handle is incredible. So cool!
That monster is for cleaving through bone. Brutal. Fantastic restoration! Thank you!
Nice job. Love it. It's big, bad, and sharp.
Yea that's the kind of cleaver, that killer butchers use. I"m glad youtube recommended this to me.
THANK YOU for showing us the fails.

i usually dislike the aluminum cast grips but this one is gorgeous. was hoping for more design than just mirror sheen but this still does it for me
Beautiful aluminum handle on your clever restoration Sir !
Nice, however I think wood would have been more attractive.
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
This dude isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty
Or broken by vibrations
Sharing even your failures. That's real honest and the reality. Thanks for sharing. 👌

Goodness gracious!!
That thing is a BEAST!!
Nice work !! The aluminum handle has a whole look. Between the old and the modern.
It's interesting watching the casting process, but you can't beat a nice wooden handle IMO.
Ain't nothing more easier than polishing up at old blade that's already been designed. That's nothing more than a janitor.
I just love these videos, how its re-made. I cant imagine anyone mass producing a handle like that.
I know this really burly butcher here in Texas that would greatly appreciate that cleaver. He has hands as big as bears paws. As usual; well done.
Great Job Black..10/10
Nordic battlefield on the blade would have been cool! Well done sir.
Superb handicraft and the perfect tool to cut up really big beasts like a mammoth ... or for convenient leg shaving.
Total Monster!
Amazing.
The aluminum handle turned out way better than I thought it would!!
The presstube channel is a good example of casting. You could hack someones arm off with one chop of that thing! Good job. The electrolysis never fails to amaze me.
You are one persistent fellow 😁 Great job!
I had my doubts, but this came out awesome
Nothing wrong with a wooden handle once in a while.
Great job, this cleaver will do his work other 50 years ;)
THAT WAS AWESOME!!! badass man 👍👍
That blade looks like its ready for its next set of decades.
That thing is a beast! Great job!
An amazing restoration!
Excellent. Great to see skill's like that
Clever, fun, unconventional and a good video.
I'm surpassed surprised you didn't give up on making the aluminum handle
Never, but never will I use a metal handle on a cutting tool, the wood for me is .... holy!
Why we are always obliged to see every restorator’s hairy arms or legs 😀
hahahahahaha one day we will see a tragedy
would you prefer seeing their Hairy Ass??
why would you even go there??
That's not him. Its his tame yeti.
Hello, I'm from Thailand, I like your video.
You should do a resin/wood handle soon! They look really nice on knives
I almost didn't watch this, so glad I did! One of my favorites! Thank you.
OMG I love this. Over the top!! Great Work!!!❤️
Beautiful handle. Special touch.
Blade that removes leg hair. That's so NEET!! 😜😂
3rd time lucky m8 that is 1 hell of a meat cleaver nice handle the down side is by time it had taken u 2 cast the handy cud of made a wooden 1 like the original but u had patience and it worked happy days 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When I first see you cast the handles I thought what the hell are you doing but after seeing them finished they look awesome.
Great job.

I really like the look of that alu handle.
Castings failed due to no vent hole for air to escape from
Wow that thing is slick as hell..you could chop off hands with that bad boy!
Every time I see the notification that he uploaded a video I know I'm gonna see something badass that I've never seen before
Why the people dislike what they wait when they comming here ?witch is there object of comparison to dislike ? Srly its incomprehensible
Amazing work gg
I read coments and most of them about alu handle. I oslo dont like alu handles but here it was perfect! Awesome one hande axe )
Beautiful work, man. Amazing.
I would of liked to see all of the knife sanded and polished but I was really pleased with the final look
That's not a knife, this is the knife!
Dang bro, now that's a chopper. Love it.
STRAIGHT UP SHAVED HIS OWN LEG WITH IT 10/10
Any *ORC* would be proud to wield this baby.
😱 wow... it's a beast!!!
What a awesome handle very clever
I like its blade color after cleaning from rust... natural black..
thank you for no music ✌️👍
in a hundred years your great grandson will do a restoration and ask the question how the hell did this handle get on there???? hahahah great work as always. Thank you for sharing.
northshorepx Alu handles do last that long
..another one brought back to life, in time to get to work...lol..great vid..
I'm personally a fan of wood handles, but I like metal work of many kinds. Try making a wax form with vents then making a mold using that. Once the wax is melted out it'd be a lot easier to have a successful pour
Awesome videos , the handle is awesome too
Good Lord, that thing could take someone’s head off in one fell swoop. That’s a compliment 👍 Nice video.
