Hello and welcome to my channel,
in this video I am restoring a abandoned billhook. I got the machete from Mister Patina. He brought it back to me from a visit to MyMechanics.
Of course the pressure is very high with it and I try to achieve the perfect restoration.
The antique knife is called a “Hippe“ or “Gertel“ in German. It is used in gardening to beat back unwanted bushes and branches less as a survival machete.
I started the restoration of the rusty billhook by removing the loose rust with the wire brush. Then I disassembled the old leather handle.
I removed the remaining rust by electrolysis.
Then I could start with the refurbishment of the blade. In various stages, I ground out the rust pits, leaving only a few to indicate the history of the antique tool.
The maker’s name “Steinemann“ remained visible and is nicely highlighted by the mirror polish steel of the blade again.
I sharpened the machete with an MDF grinding wheel that I made before.
I could not save the old leather handle because the leather was hard and brittle. For this reason, I made a new handle based on the original design using layered ebony and aluminum.
As always, there is a beer test before assembly. This time I test the belgian beer “Leffe“.
After the well-deserved break, I reassembled the restored machete.
In the final tameshigiri test for katana swords with a tatami mat, the machete could prove its sharpness.
I am very happy with the asmr hardware restoration video and hope you have fun with it.
