My Dad owned a grocery store when I was a kid!!! I've got two of his old cleavers. The larger one is in beautiful shape and the narrower one needs restoring!!! I'm going to try and redo it and see if I can master it!!!!! I also have his meat saw, and it's in great condition also. I like old stuff!!!

Great job!!!!! I actually have a burlap sack in my shop I’m about to turn into some micarta handle scales and I would’ve never thought about using brass for liners so I may have to steal that idea for some knives I’m making. I truly enjoy watching videos like this whether it be you or someone else. I like taking old tools, knives or what not and refurbishing/restoring them for use. I just recently picked up and old set of WISD 10” shears for $4 and they’re rusted and need a bit of TLC, but the are usable and I have already sharpened them and used them, but they could be better.
Thanks for the video. My chef's knife, similar to this cleaver, but thinner blade, the plastic handle broke. I need to make a new handle but don't know how. this video helped to at least try... Don't have all those machines (tools) but try to do by hand. Thanks.
Nice!! I didn't see you sand the sides of the handle smooth before you oiled it and you can tell. I would of used a lacquer on the handle for a more glossy look but thats just my opinion. I was expecting to see that blade polished to a mirror like chrome finish, that's always my favorite part of a knife restoration.
Excellent work, the little detail that made me disappointed was the epoxy on the blade when you glued the handle, but that's really a tiny detail ! Love the video, first of yout video that I watch and that's quite relaxing, and cuting the noise of machines is a nice idea, more should do this too
Never seen the epoxy in the coffee bag done like that, super cool idea. Definitely would have tried to conserve it a little more instep of wasting that big piece on just this one handle. Probably could've used it on another handle.
What you saw was my first attempt at a micarta handle. I didn't really know what I was doing. I learned what worked and what didn't. The next one will be smoother with less waste.
I like working with my hands and prefer it even though it can be laborious. Sometimes, however, my hands get a little tired (Cleavers are hardened) and I give in to the air tools. Or, in other cases I experiment and see what is working and not working. Thank you for watching.
I really enjoyed this video because I have a beat up cleaver just like this. How much would you charge me to redo mine? I would try this myself but I don't have all the tool and other stuff needed to pull this off. Thank you
Well, to be honest, I never thought the handle would ever turn out looking anything but ugly, but it does look good! I just wish you could hafe done a little bit more with the pitting in the blade.
Amazing job. Good on you for trying something new, you're very creative. When i saw the burlap sack i was thinking ..what the hell is he doing with that.. then you turned a burlap sack into a handle 😂 and it came up great. Well done mate.
That looks really sharp. All kidding aside, it is really nice. What is the texture like on the handle? Did the epoxy make it smooth or does it retain some of the texture of the burlap?
Perfect for Butchers, Bullying Someone or Cutting Someone`s Arm as Payback ;) Well Done Mr. Two Hands Restoration.. It was an Impressive Restoration :)
Not sure if using oil on the epoxy handle is a good idea for the long term stability. It could soften the resin and deteriorate with time. A varnish or polyurethane might be better.
I thought leaving the red exposed in the micarta was super cool. I was sad, however, when I realized that you weren't going to put the metal cap back on the front of the handle...
Hay man loved the video. Just wondering what the point of soaking the blade in vinegar if you are going to wire buff and sand it as well it just seems like a unnecessary step to me.
I let it soak over night hoping it will do most of the work. This blade was very hard and the rust was stubborn. Restoring/refurbishing these things is trial and error for me. It is a hobby and I'm having fun. Hope you enjoyed the video.
WHEN EXAMING, JUDGING A PROJECT LIKE THIS. DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TYPE OF STEEL USED? BASICALLY DO SOME BLADES HAVE CHEAP STEEL THAT IT IS NOT WORTH THE TIME RESTORING? HOW CAN WE TELL A BETTER METAL, HIGH CARBON BLADE, WHEN IN THIS CONDITION.
Some blades are made with cheaper material than others. There is a wide range of quality when it comes to knives, cleavers and other cutting instruments. I am the wrong person to ask about how to tell the quality of metal used. I know that you can buy a kit that enables you to find the hardness of metal so you can determine if it is suitable for your needs. Beyond that I don't know enough to answer your question accurately.
I worked on one from either the Twenties or Thirtys. You almost needed a microscope to see any makers mark. I had to Google the address to figure out the maker.
I love the ASMR sounds you’ve amplified throughout the video.
I've watched this video twice I enjoyed it so much
The handle layup and shaping is superb, sir.
The addition of the copper in the handle was a real nice touch. Great video.
the burlap handle construction was so satisfying
Hobbies are great......
Nicely done handle.
I really dig that handle. I think I would prefer it to be more glossy, but to each his own. It's a fantastic idea.
Thank you. I agree.
There will not be another one like that. Great job.
Beautiful work. Love the copper spacers and the burlap micarta handle!
Very nice…love the handle
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship.

Great restoration job! Loved the handle, it came out so well. Thanks for sharing with us.
Such a unique handle
Hut ab! Sieht gut aus!

I didn't expect to like the handle when you started in, but that turned out to be a really good idea that you executed quite well. Thanks for sharing!
Stunning... I want it
Very nice... enjoyed the vid... the handle rocks.
Love.the.handle.very.good.craftmanshipBRAVO

You wouldn't be stealing since I get all my ideas from other videos.
I was very skeptical of the handle at first but it turned out fantastic!!!
handle turned out great! love the shape too
Very Nice!
The burlap micarta worked well. Thanks for the video

Cool restoration,,,,,i like your job,,,,the handle knife is fine and original,,,,, greating from Perú 🇵🇪👍
Thank you.
Magaling talaga silang magrestored ng mga ganito!!
Great handle! A lot of work, but the finished product is really nice.
Great craftsmanship man. Loved the handle effect

A friend at work suggested the same thing. I'd like to do another handle and I'll definitely lacquer it when I do.
@@TwoHandsRestorations Awesome!!

Thanks for posting and sharing. Really nice restoration.
Good job the only criticism I have is to use finer grit sand paper for the handle.
The handle surprised me

I love love love when restorations come out shiny! Your work is beautiful! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Looks awesome man!!!
Very cool! Great job!
Excellent! I wonder.. would the resin handle polish to a shine? or would the sack stop this from happening? Great work though!
Congratulations....top
Great work!
Handle looks like snake skin.
Congrats.
Thank you. I'm going to use your quote if you don't mind.
@@TwoHandsRestorations be my gest
just beautiful!
a lot of great techniques. thanks. really nice result
Never thought of using Burlap for a micarta handle but it definitely works well! Nice restoration, and great job with that handle!
Nice job
Appreciated the lack of obnoxious music, etc.
Good afternoon. Everything is great, good work. But one question arises: why brush with a hand, and after five minutes turn on the air .... Why?
I like working with my hands and prefer it even though it can be laborious. Sometimes, however, my hands get a little tired (Cleavers are hardened) and I give in to the air tools. Or, in other cases I experiment and see what is working and not working. Thank you for watching.
Awesome job sir, that handle turned out fantastic. You got a new subscriber 👍👍

Do it without the fancy tools and be proud of the outcome, show your grandchildren
Trabalho perfeito ,curti muito.A estampa do cabo ficou igual cobra coral .Parabens
the handle came out great, the metal work not so much. keep at it man, good job!
How much do you charge for a restored clever????
Well, to be honest, I never thought the handle would ever turn out looking anything but ugly, but it does look good! I just wish you could hafe done a little bit more with the pitting in the blade.
I think you need to soak 1 layer at a time in the epoxy and stack as you go
Really nice job! The scales are amazing.
Amazing job. Good on you for trying something new, you're very creative. When i saw the burlap sack i was thinking ..what the hell is he doing with that.. then you turned a burlap sack into a handle 😂 and it came up great. Well done mate.
Awesome!
the handle is so bad ass. did you consider putting that old guard back on? what became of the finished product?
I put all the stuff I do aside. When I have the space I will use them as displays.
at the beggining you should clamp it.its dangerous to drill like that.welldone sir..just be safety.
I just subscribed. Nice work.
What kind of epoxy you use to make the handle by the way it looks amazing your job !!
Thank you. There is a link in the description.
Should have put the handle cap back on. Other than that STELLAR job!
Parabéns, sou do Brasil, estou encantada com o seu trabalho de restauração, é fascinante, obg!
That looks really sharp.
All kidding aside, it is really nice. What is the texture like on the handle? Did the epoxy make it smooth or does it retain some of the texture of the burlap?

That handle is super creative! 🔥 🔥
Super did everything perfectly👍👍👍
Cross pattern sanding 🧐🧐
👍👍
Beautiful
When punching out pins, level your work piece. Safer, neater, faster
Amazing 👍👍❤️
Hi bro 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 very good restoration meat cleaver 👍👍👍🔥💣👌🏽
As always, thanks for watching.
I can smell and hear knotts berry farm just by looking at the handle holy shi-
its not damascus steel i gues .wonderful restaration well done
a real crafsman
Beautiful job, especially on the handle!
Thank you
Beautiful restoration. Thank you for sharing your artistry.
Thank you
the handle is art. The metal part is ok, love to see more sanding on it
I'm going to have to agree with you. Thanks for watching.
Love!!!
Not sure if using oil on the epoxy handle is a good idea for the long term stability. It could soften the resin and deteriorate with time. A varnish or polyurethane might be better.
I believe that this was a great restoration. I don’t believe nit-picking someone’s video ( except for bad practices). Nuff said.
I thought leaving the red exposed in the micarta was super cool. I was sad, however, when I realized that you weren't going to put the metal cap back on the front of the handle...

Innovative.
WHY NOT A FLAT FILE? ON SIDES OF BLADE, TO KNOCK DOWN THE PITS, HIGH VALLEYS, LOW VALLEYS. MAKES SIDES FLAT AND SMOOTH. NO GULLEYS FROM HAND SANDING.
Why would you want it to look brand new? If you want it to look new wouldn’t you just buy a new knife?

Parabéns! Lindos os seus trabalhos!vc poderia colocar os nomes dos produtos q usa para tirar a ferrugem? Obrigada .
Vinegar.
Nice job, I love the patina effect on the handle. Was the manufacturer's stamp legible?
Barely. I should have shown it closer.
I worked on one from either the Twenties or Thirtys. You almost needed a microscope to see any makers mark. I had to Google the address to figure out the maker.
Beautiful work! Do you sell your restorations?
No, sorry.
damn that spine looked like someone tried to baton rebar with a sledgehammer
Who do you know that works in surgery?? Nice towel
Nice catch. My Dad was in the medical field for many years. He has a huge pile of these.
nice work...
Nice
If you had beat in the rivets, it may have split the handle.
Nice sell for 100 bucks
I like everything you did, except for leaving traces of the pitting from the rust. I would recommend sanding it out and buffing to a mirror polish.
He still wants it to look kinda old not brand new
EXCELENTE TRABAJO
