Restoration of a Cleaver from a 1000 year old city. You've Never Seen a Handle like this before.
This meat cleaver was found during the construction of a multi-storey residential building. It just lay in the ground, and the most interesting thing is that it was preserved in good condition.
I think that this cleaver was made by forging several centuries ago.
Recovery process:
I tried to remove the rust with a manual brass brush, but the dry rust is very light and pretty soon my entire workshop was covered with rusty dust and it was impossible to breathe without using a respirator.
So I decided to use my old proven method - electrolysis.
But everything didn't go according to plan. For some reason, my electrolysis flask burst as soon as I put it on the table. It's good that I had a plastic container in stock that I used to use for electrolysis.
After electrolysis, I properly washed the blade of the cleaver and saw that it was preserved in excellent condition.
For the handle, I used a block of maple. I drilled the hole using drills of different diameters, since the cleaver's shank is wedge-shaped.
For a more secure fixation of the blade in the handle, I decided to use a pin. thus the blade is more likely not to lose the hilt.
After curing the epoxy glue, I turned the handle on a belt grinder (which, by the way, I made myself). Then he brought the shape to the ideal with the help of a rasp and a file. After that I polished the handle using wood oil.
I really liked the result, I hope you do too.
There are many more cool and interesting videos on the channel, I will be grateful if you watch some of them!

Good luck to you all and take care of yourself!
See you next week!
