Restoring a DESTROYED Japanese Knife (Rusty & Chipped)

Restoring a DESTROYED Japanese Knife (Rusty & Chipped)

In a recent video (10 Things to NEVER do with a Japanese Knife), Mike completely wrecked one of our stunt knives. This made Naoto awfully sad, so he took it upon himself to bring the knife back to life! In this restoration video, Naoto takes a totally rusted & chipped santoku and removes the rust & chips, thins the blade, polishes the knife, and replaces the handle. Check out this incredible restoration!
