Restoring an old Japanese Axe!
Sit back and relax as this sweet little antique Japanese axe is restored to its former wood chopping glory! I did my best to maintain the surface of the steel (as it shows the history of its use) while also getting it back to full functionality and a razor sharp edge.
Thanks for watching!

    The bad part is that you expected him to take it like it was. You saw how it came out, and you knew it didn’t look good.

  • @alphadawg81

    Wh6 putting so much effort in a knife only to mess up the edge as you let off right before the sharpening choil and therefore making it convex right at the end. Now, your customer needs to fix that first before putting the knife it on a stone! You wouldn't buy a handbuilt car only to put factory second tires on it, would you?

    You'll stay in business taking care of your customers with blades and handles like that and customer service. Great job. I have almost a whole ironwood tree that has been drying for 20 years. 1 day I'm going to get back to making knives, because I love ironwood handles or whatever, and their beauty.

    This is just gorgeous. btw - When you say Ironwood, what kind of tree are you referring to..? There's an amazingly hard & gorgeous looking hardwood found here in Australia - also called Ironwood - which is apparently really difficult to work when seasoned. (Quite a lot of timbermills even refuse to take it, as it needs specialist diamond-tipped saws to cut the logs into planks...)

      @@_ninthRing_ that’s crazy!! I think it’s just called desert ironwood. It grows in Arizona and Mexico. I just got my hands on some wood from Australia, it’s called “Mallee” and it’s insanely hard. Almost destroyed a bandsaw blade cutting one small piece

    • @_ninthRing_
      @_ninthRing_ 18 часов назад

      @mattwatersbladesmith I'm not surprised. *Mallee* is a really slow-growing, desert hardwood, so can be really dense. The wood looks beautiful, though. I've seen several sculptures carved out of *Mallee Burls* which looked absolutely stunning! The smoke from burning *Mallee* wood is also supposed to have a lovely scent. There are so many other great *Aussie* woods for you to investigate: *Jarrah, Karri (+), Marri, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt* & *Sheoak.* Each has unique characteristics, gorgeous colours & remarkable grain patterns. (+) - *Karri* are an amazing tree that's native to where I live (in the *South-West* of *Western Australia).* They can grow to staggering heights, commonly topping *_50 metres (164 feet),_* and (rarely) even getting up beyond *_70 metres (230 feet)_* tall!

    Wanting to try this method on a knife I'm making at the moment, how long did you leave the knife in the handle for before taking it out? I'm worried that the epoxy is gonna set when I get around to doing it lol.
