Complete Restoration of Broken & Rusty Knife

Restoring a Rusty knife

[kidstube]

Hey man, been watching you for a year or so now and thanks to you I just managed to take a fully dull knife to razor sharp for the first time. Thanks for your work!

I owe a big thank you to you Ryky! I have a Chicago Cutlery chef knife that my wife and I got for our wedding. We were young and lazy and tossed all of our knives in the dishwasher. The chef knife has rusted and chipped, so watching this video inspired me to invest in some whetstones. I also have been using a Dalstrong Phantom Filet knife that I don’t have sharpening tools for. Hoping I can get those knives better than they were before! Again thank you for these videos! They’ve been a big help in prepping!

Thank you for doing these full knife restoration, full length videos. I've watched three of them so far, and watching how you continually change the bevel angles throughout the first part of the process has given me more confidence to reprofile the bevel on my practice knife. Unfortunately, the lowest grit I have ATM is a #1000 Suehiro Cerax, when a #320 Suehiro Cerax would likely be ideal for the VG10. Never the less I'll be attempting to go from about 20 degrees, down to around 15 degrees on the #1000.

Awesome restoration. I’m glad you posted both videos. Enjoyed them both! :)

saw your video two days ago, at home i went down to my bike shed, where al my sport stuf is, My iceskate sharpening gear also. Got the Wetstone my father used 40 years ago, and took a knife that used to be real sharp, like long ago. Lots of dents in there. I even fell once on my bare foot. blood shot out, but the cut was real clean. I was thinking on letting it sharpend till i saw your video.
It's real schap again, paper no problem, but i will put some more time in the movement. thx!!

Fantastic work as always Ryky!

Just a heads up, audio cuts out from 20:50-21:05.
No big deal, just thought you should know

I love that you make Short and long videos separated. Keep up the good work

[hrhamada]

great video!
THANKS
I also like the idea of posting both a short video to give people the general idea and a long video so people can learn more in depth.
If only long videos, we can't watch during parts of our busy lives unless we schedule in the time. this way we can plan.
OR if only short videos we miss some of the in depth analysis and explanations and seeing minor adjustments you make along the way as you react to what's happening in real time.

Really nice job on that knife... reminds me of when I spent an hour removing deep chips out of my sister's knife. Was complete trash at first but then ended up being near perfect. Thanks for the video...

Great video to watch on a Sunday morning! As everyone else is asking; where did you get that knife from? You did a great job and it looks amazing. You should be proud to keep that in your collection.

Hi Ryky, I like the new look of the old knife. The rustic Nashiji finish is cool. Good video to encourage people to repair their knifes, if something went wrong.

I confess; this knife I would clean up the edge and tip with my T-7 Tormek with diamond wheel, and then reset the bevel by hand. I can control the T-7 to advance into the wheel by less than a mm each step, and I would freehand the tip on the wheel. It would leave me with a flat edge, but stoning the bevel would be fairly easy.

Splendid knife, and excellent commitment for his rescue.
I am extremely picky and would have taken off the handle: sometimes the rust continues to expand until it is cracked.
I hope that those who use this craft in the future will have more attention and care than the previous owner.
Thanks again for the religious care of this work of art.

Beautifully done Ricky, now i see how to use those erasers. Even thought this video of yours is 2 years old, i bought those erasers the moment you advertised them in your channel and have had them for a long time. Now i know how to properly use them after watching this video of yours. Thanks a lot also Ricky for showing how you restore a broken knife with those diamond plates. What grit do you recommend i use in order to remove a deep chip in a knife i was trying to fix. I managed to bring it down but it still needs work and i think s diamond plate is more suitable for the job. I have a 400/1000 grit diamond plate I've been using to remove chips. By the way Ricky what fluid are you using on the plate?

[jimburns]

Beautiful Job Ryky restoring the knife to better than original condition! Really love the new Sabatier style you put on it. Question do you still have it!

[kaymanul]

Great great work! I also hate making old knives completely new. It just kills them.

[pixilatedwang]

Thank you for the quick response to upload requests!

[rentiap]

Oh Man, so sad to see such a beautiful knife mistreated like this.
I would love to get a knife like this to repair then cherish.
