Watching these videos made me want to buy some old crappy knives to fix up, but everything online is either a) in pretty good condition or b) an antique that I don’t want to ruin by restoring it.
I already have all the tools I need to do it, I just need a supply of mistreated stuff!
That is a lot more work I would be willing to put into something like that. Damn, does the finished product look brand new!
Watching this thinking, he sure reminds me a lot of My Mechanics. Did not disappoint at 7:25. LOL
amazing job

Very satisfying
Calling this a “restoration” seems a bit odd. It never had a mirror finish to begin with right?
This guys buys things on ebay and rusts them for his videos
