Anyone who likes old, rare things will love this restoration. I'm restoring an rare antique double cleaver! I have to work a lot on the lathe, grinding, drilling, thread cutting, working with chemicals and a lot more... I had to replace the old handle with a new one, this time made of kingwood. But I also worked with steel and brass. In the end, the antique cleaver will somehow look old and new! Stay tuned, and have fun watching!
▶ What did I do?! ◀
After dismantling the old, very rare hatchet, I placed the blade in a bath of rust remover. To prevent the blade from rusting, I treated it with iron(III)chloride. I made the new wooden handle out of kingwood and also made new caps out of brass. I made the entire handle on the lathe, so if you like working on the lathe, this is the project for you! Because I deliberately left the pitting, the double cleaver has a unique look, somehow new and old at the same time. With the knowledge that the wooden handle is made of “kingwood”, the unique cleaver immediately takes on a mystical character. I love it!
