That part with the water bottle, you're a freaking genius!

Fun fact: The video isn't actually sped up, he just puts all of his points into speed.

I was thinking the whole time that a sandblaster would cut your time by 75%, but your diligence in doing a job well done is incredible. Hats off to you sir.

Greatly appreciate your use of simpler machinery and far less obtrusive reacting agents. I'd say you're closer to pure craftsmanship than most others. Thanks

Thank you for doing different things outside of hand drills.

Plot twist: it’s not fast forwarded he’s the fastest man alive.

The handle alone deserves its own video! The water fountain "method" was simply phenomenal. I would have never thought about it. Thanks for the video. I loved it. 😍😍😍😍😍

@17:36 "Hey Bill, I can't find my favorite shirt. Is it in the laundry?" "uhhhhh..."

This filming technique for sanding the blade worked very well.

That's superb craftsmanship. Most of us would stop doing anything to an old knife so much rusted. Apart from the extreme sharpness, all little details are taken care of. Keep on and let us see more of your skills!

Clean video no soundtrack or music just the sound of tools .. you are legend 🙌

I don't have any knowledge on knives or how to sharpen them, but I love the effort and care you put into restoring this knife! Very satisfying and informative to watch! 😊

The moral of the story is that a really good knife can turn an old tshirt into yummy sushi rolls. Food hunger solved.

I love watching these kinds of videos at 1am on a school night

Just minutes, but behind them was a hard work that lasted for hours and days

11:18 when you flipped the knife over and there was the other side to do... it broke my heart!! The amount of work! Fantastic job!

Nice refurbishing. Why did you polish one side to mirror finish and leave the other side with pits? If you would have finished both sides equally, that would have made this project superb! Thumbs Up!

2 am, Christmas morning and I'm watching a knife restoration, do i need sleep? Maybe, am i having the time of my life? Yes, yes i am

Two things in this video are genius: 1. Turning the pillar drill into a custom lathe. 2. The constant water feed onto the wet stone. Fair play, genius 👏

Very nice! This restoration uses items that most of us would have in our workshops.

Great look

Love watching these vids I know this takes more than 12 hours to do and doing it all by hand makes it way harder.

This is an incredibly excellent and patient piece of work! Incredible sharpness! Fascinating to watch and I'll defo be on the look out for a Japanese Chef's knife to restore! Thank you!

Simplemente perfecto,felicitaciones desde Argentina.

Scary Sharp, awesome knife! I would love to see It on tomatoes

Beautiful job! the knife looks beautiful and is insanely sharp!

I am glad you didn’t just asspull called this a japanese knife but actually retained the hollow grind on the back and the single bevel. Really good work with a limited set of tools. Though I highly doubt it was originally a 5 dollar knife when it was new. Still. It really is a renovation and a fine work.

can you just make a video of you cutting paper that is so satisfying. You are very good on the wet stone and what a great idea of the constant water flow. I will be giving that a try.

sir, highly satisfying to watch. Thank you for posting the video.

Perfect 👌

Very nice work. Amazing how cleanly that finger came off, and I hope the reattachment takes.

This guy's speed is amazing!

The original craftsman would be honored .

8:46 I thought that was the blood of his enemies. It genuinely worried me for a second.

I admire you in taking the time to restore a rusty knife...(don't know if it is worth it, because most of the name brand Japanese knife would have brand name on the knife blade). I made a bushcraft knife out of my lawnmower blade that has seen the end of its life three years ago. Due to it is a soft steel, I had to go thru the hardening/tempering process to get the proper hardness. It was an experimental, trial run, and did not expect anything good out of this, just for fun and learn something out of it. The end result is a working bushcraft knife, which I got great satisfaction out of the whole process. Good job...

I searched a lot for a perfect camping knife so that I can do multiple tasks with a single knife, and in the end, I found one. Lovely sharp blade and just fits my hand. It makes my outdoor camping work easy and perfect. I bought it from Almazan Knives.

Trabalho realizado com excelência.

I love the “onion” and the “lettuce” in the end. Good job man 🤙

Excellent. In these restoration videos, I would love to see a percentage split for the finished product of split between original parts vs new. For this one, as the blade was fully restored, I would say...it's pretty high on the original parts side. Also, an estimate of market value of restored artefact would be very interesting.

Wow...its so much satisfying dat i lost my words.... 💜💜💜 Its need way too much patience n time to make things so beautiful specially whn those r out of date.. It make me do try these things bt i dnt knw anythin

Man, I love these videos. Great job!

4:26 okayyy... 4:27 going well so far... 4:28 alright... 4:31 w h a t

Nice recovery on the blade. There's still plenty of hope for it. It will take a lot sanding with heavy grit but it would be worth it, I think.

I like that you show us good and bad methods you tried until you figure out the best. Far more entertaining than seeing it done perfectly.

My brain: It's 02:00 AM, get some sleep Also my brain: Nah, it's saturday, watch a video of a japanese knife being restored instead.

Looks good, I'm gonna say I'm pretty impressed. You need more subs you deserve it.

This looks like the most gratifying work restoring useful tools back to like new condition.Especially when it works without a flaw!

BRAVO!!! HERMOSO TRABAJO desde Argentina!!!

A few things: That is the sharpest knife I've ever seen, and I've watched A LOT of these types of videos. "Worlds Sharpest Diarrhea Kitchen Knife" doesn't have crap on this one. You could perform surgery with that thing. How long does something like that retain it's edge?

Watched this 18 minute long video at 5 percent, died right when it ended. Thank you for holding the video iPad. Btw I said this when my iPad charged again lol

Beautiful work and satisfying to watch. Question: what happened to the knife? Is it up for sale? Thank you

So much sanding and time on the stones. Excellent example of the hard work required to make (or remake) something beautiful. Well done

What an amazing restoration! Thanks for the video! :)

I really love that knife 🔪 it looks shiny ✨ and beautiful 😍

So a simple hand drill is enough for right hole in the new handle....thank you!

Tylertube would be loving the knife on paper action after the restoration!

Очень хорошие видио класс, респект, аж приятно смотреть за работой...

An exceptional job. A great deal of labour and expertise. Amazing job on the handle too. You could have done a Rockwell Hardness test on the tang near the blade. Would be interesting. Very heavy material used. What kind of wood. Johobba? (sp)

Japanese steel at its best. I bought an old Japanese knife set from garage sale for $5. The quality and balance was 1st class.

It will get thinner than b4 ,by this heavy scrubbing & polishing , beautiful finish

The job was well done, just a doubt: One side of the knife was a mirror, however the other side is still with rust lees, why didn't it leave the same?

Jouzu. More please. I have trouble sharpening a pencil!!

So much hard work ❤ apreciated

You just restored and made a better knife than the entire Dwlimano company

Отличная реставрация и прекрасная заточка. Молодец!!!

That was beautiful to watch - one ask: could you please put small captions on what you're doing for the key steps? I have no idea what all the equipment is for but would love to learn more about the process and thinking behind the decisions you make!

Wow. You just answered so many small questions I had. Thank you!

I have a question all Japanese people know how to sharpen knives? you just do well). I wish you good luck in your work

Very nice restoration. But why you polished just one side of the blade? The other side is not clean and polished.

Its always nice to see people reuse instead of throwing away. Really nice skills by the way.

I love the sharpening job. That's one of the sharpest knives I have seen. It's a very pretty knife. Seems it took a bit too long to get that rust off and there was a bit remaining even at the end. I am not sure if it electrolysis could be used in this situation.

11:20 "Wow finally" 11:21 welp.

Awesome work, who needs a gym!! Love the end result

Insanely sharp. Well done, excellent job.

Actually we can save a lot of old stuffs from home to make it well n useful instead of throwing away is a wastage....great job..👍👍👍

This sir, it will KeAL.

形からすると出刃包丁かな？ちゃんと砥石で研いでるのがいいね。

I like that idea of using a file as a sanding backer, won't flex or break like a piece of wood

wish i could be the owner of that knife. thanks for sharing. Damien from twincity minneapolis MN, usa

8:53 For a hot second there I thought that was blood, and that you had sliced your hand or something Legitimately scared O-o Nice restoration tho

Изначально стоило на гриндере шлифовать - было видно глубокое окисление металла. Результат - потрясающий. Совершенно не уступает новым ножам. Но объём работ делает нож "золотым".

Makes me sad such a beautiful knife like that was so neglected, nice work bringing it back to life! Where do you find items like this?

That’s an epic restoration!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We not gone talk abt the perfect hit marker sound at 16:47

4:31 that was hella painful im wearing head phones 😂

Thank you, that was soothing

I really wish I could get my knives that sharp. Good piece of work.

3:50 Perry the platypus?! That’s all I hear-

The proof's in the pudding...That SOB is sharp!

A knife that can cut through paper?! Good job

Good job 👌 There is something i think you didnt keep in mind though when it comes to this Deba geometry. The back has a concave section which is critical for the knife's purpose.

9:53 hopefully I can get as fast as he is sanding. Would make light work of projects.

Gear show, where do you find these knives, I've been trying to find these everywhere so i can restore them like you.

The tang does NOT require epoxy resin (14:36) to give the knife resistance, strength and durability That's what the kuchigane (口金) Ferrule is for.

Bela faca🔪 excelente trabalho.

I feel that this video was a pain in the butt. And you used my favorite tools (wire wheel and sanding belt).

Bruh why didnt you smooth out the back of the knife like the front?

Wow a Restoration video where it was ACTUALLY restored ! Good work

Nice restoration, how you get the blade SO SHARP, amazing.

11:54 Holy moly! This is smart.
