if you guys want to see the entire
restoration process let me know in the
comments and I'll put together basically
everything from start to finish so it's
probably gonna be like a 4550 minute
video but you guys will see exactly how
I did everything and I'll do a voiceover
for that video as well so you guys can
actually see exactly what I'm doing
so if you guys want to see that let me
know in the comments and I will post
that video probably within three or four
days from today and this life here I
wrapped me in pretty in a pretty beat-up
condition so the first thing I had to do
was remove all of the rust and see
exactly what I'm working with and so for
that I sprayed the knife with a mixture
of 50:50 water and vinegar that kind of
loosen up all the rust basically only
used for this repair really three things
I had my medium and fine restoration
which I love these things are awesome
the ball at the right hand writing is
the medium and the one with the red hand
writing is the fine
after the medium I went to the fine and
just more removes all the hard scratches
in the knife
the choreo chief finish was something
that I had to kind of sacrifice because
the rust was so deep and it was all over
the knife I basically had to make a
choice whether I preserve the choreo G
finish or remove that and the rust so I
chose to remove that and the rust then I
a true with a sharpie what I wanted to
look like and kind of gave this knife a
must more of like tip profile normally I
just go to the automa 140 and more or
less do a sharpening session but because
this one has such a big tip missing I
had to work on the tip at the same time
work in the belly and work on the gouge
as well that took about a half an hour
and so going back between the left to
the right side working on the belly and
working on the gouge throughout the rest
of the length of the blade now normally
I go straight from the automa 140 to the
sharpening which is in this case at two
thousand or the one thousand in most
cases normally a 1000 which stone would
handle it just fine but because the edge
was so beat up and I was hopping into
the two thousand that's why I figure
I'll go to the two twenty first clean
the edge up and then hop on in my 2000
grit stone
and the important thing was maintaining
a profile that didn't have any flat
spots as you guys know when you guys
cutting our knives that have a very
obvious either even if that flat bar is
only an inch inch and a half wide
it's very abrupt on the cutting board
you can see right here that there is no
flat spots on this knife so I'm actually
very happy for that the belly not very
pronounced but it gives me just enough
lift for you know rocking like onions
and scallions now obviously I can still
polish the entire profile and cleaned
out but that's gonna take a lot of work
and I think this look right now it kind
of still keeps it that rustic look I'm
considering this knife was completely
unusable broken tip you know two major
gouges on the cutting edge now you have
a knife that is I mean it's this knife
is sharp and can be used in any kitchen
it took a lot of work to get the tip the
belly and the rest of the cutting edge
in a really great cutting profile where
there's no flat spots and the tip
actually looks beautiful and it looks
like it should have been made this way
from the very GetGo it took a lot of
time especially using just something
like the toma 140 I literally had to
grind the knife down one stroke at a
time so that actually took a substantial
amount at work all right guys what
thumbs up if you guys enjoyed the video
if you guys want to see more videos like
this let me know in the comments I would
love to do and focus more of my videos
on restorations because I think they are
a lot of fun and it gives me an
opportunity to give more knives away and
what could be better than that alright
well subscribe if you guys want to see
more and I'll catch you in the next
video
