Everyone decides for themselves whether it is worth restoring and repairing an old chipped knife or not. This probably makes sense if the knife has good memories and has proven itself to be a quality tool.
Most known species defect of knives - chips of the cutting edge of the blade. To eliminate chips on the blade, it is necessary to grind the metal down to the base of the chips, regardless of the width of the blade in this place. In some cases, the location of the chips leads to the need to change the shape of the blade. Once the chips have been removed, restorative sharpening can begin. Restored knives are sharpened as follows: first, the blade is ground from one side and the other to the middle, so that the blade does not bevel on one side, and only after that it begins to sharpen cutting edge until a burr (burr) appears, as in normal everyday use. Upon completion of sharpening, the restored and repaired knife is polished to polishing wheel.
A similar method can be used to repair a knife with a broken tip or tip of the blade. This knife is sharpened vertically band press, the blade is given the required shape, after which the tip is ground to be in the middle of the blade, without bevel to one side.
Scratches and chips on holomen are usually formed due to not very careful sharpening and they are not very easy to remove. The only way out in this situation is to thoroughly polish the blade on a polishing wheel, keeping the blade scratched as it rotates. But if the knife is made of hardened steel, such repairs are extremely expensive.
Repairing a bent blade is very difficult. Blade bending most often occurs due to an attempt to use the knife as a lever. Different varieties steel can react differently to an attempt to straighten the blade - they may give in easily, they may not give in at all, or they may even break. By appearance You probably won’t be able to determine what will happen until you try. If you decide to straighten the blade, you should hold the knife in a vice and carefully bend it in the opposite direction, or put the blade on an anvil and lightly tap it with the narrow side of a hammer until the blade is straightened. This work should be done with gloves, since attempts to bend the knives back are harmful to inner layers steel and can lead to unexpected sharp fracture.
In cases where repair of the knife handle is required, it will have to be installed in the same way as it was installed at the factory, so evaluate your abilities. First, you should wrap the blade with tape so as not to scratch it or cut yourself when installing the handle. The most common failure is the falling out of the pins that secure the plate handle. Remove both halves of the handle, clean them completely from inside from glue, and clean the shank. Estimate the fasteners, cut if necessary required holes on the inside of the handle halves for rivets, check that everything fits well. Separate all parts of the knife, lubricate them thin layer two-component glue and assemble the product, insert pins and fasten. The handle cannot be placed in a vice or under a press while the glue dries - otherwise the parts will be fixed in an unnatural position and, after removal, will bend back - such a handle will be extremely short-lived. Cut off the protruding ends of the pins and carefully sand them.
Sometimes the handle linings of knives break off, especially if they are made of plastic. It’s a pity to throw away a knife plate, especially when the blade can still serve for a long time.
First, we will discuss two ideas for restoring a knife handle, and then we will try to make one of them a reality. Any person holding cutting tools, a hammer, pliers and a brush can handle this type of work.
If the shank is thick enough, then you can take a piece of hard wood, make a cut in it or drill a hole and insert the shank into it with tension. This type of fastening of the handle to the shank is called mounted. With a thin shank, this method of securing the handle will not be very reliable.
For such a case better pen make from two identical halves and secure them to the shank with rivets, pins or furniture screws. This method, called riveted or overhead, seems to be the best here.
We prepare the knife for restoration by completely removing all remnants of the previous handle from the shank, and putting it in order.
What do we need for work?
Let's prepare the necessary materials:- knife plate – blade with a shank (recovery item);
- veneer of red or similar quality wood;
- a block of hardwood or multi-layer high-quality plywood;
- epoxy resin;
- metal rod (preferably copper or aluminum, but steel is also possible);
- transparent waterproof varnish.
- hacksaw for wood and metal;
- Stanley knife (carpet knife);
- pliers or pliers;
- drilling machine or electric drill;
- bench vice;
- grinder and sandpaper.
The process of making a knife handle
The dimensions of the handle depend on the length of the blade and shank, but the thickness of the pads should not be less than 6-7 mm, otherwise it is difficult to ensure the strength of the handle and ease of use. The sequence of individual steps is also not critical.
1. Cut from cooked wooden block two blanks of equal length (future linings or cheeks of the handle).
2. Using pliers or a hacksaw, we separate the pins from the rod along a length slightly larger than the total thickness of the handle. At the end of the work, they can be riveted and the linings can be firmly connected to each other and to the shank. The ends of the pins are rounded for safety and ease of installation in the holes.
3. Using the shank with the heel as a sample, we place them on the cheek blanks, outline the front contour and the place where the hole is drilled. We carry out drilling and processing of the linings on the side of the blade according to the marks, since after assembling the knife it will not be easy to do this, especially if they are complex in configuration. We insert the pin into the hole and make sure that it matches in diameter and length.
4. We cut the veneer along the contour, placing a piece of it between the overlays, and removing the excess with a Stanley knife.
5. Apply epoxy resin to the outer surfaces of the linings, inserting a pin into the hole in advance, and glue the veneer. After making sure that there is no displacement, we assemble the knife plate, both pads with glued veneer along with the pin and clamp everything in a vice until it hardens completely. epoxy resin.
6. Pre-form the handle, using first band saw, a carpet knife, then a grinder and coarse sandpaper.
For work we will need:
-Composite glue, popularly known as “cold welding”.
- Wood sawdust of fine fraction.
-Instantly acting adhesive.
-Water.
Operating procedure
It was no coincidence that we chose composite glue, because it has a special property: initially the composition is plastic, but after a while it hardens. We use the period of plasticity for our own purposes.
It is important that the handle is made by a person who uses a broken knife more often, because the new temporary handle is very individually adjusted to the hand.
We took welding glue in regular packaging. We will not use the entire volume; based on the volume of the palm, cut off a part from a piece of glue. In this master class, we worked up to about 5 centimeters from the total piece of glue.
You need to work with glue by first wetting your hands with water. The piece is kneaded until it gains sufficient plasticity. We prepared very fine sawdust in advance. Not many are required. The approximate proportion can be easily determined visually by ironing the photo in the text of this instruction.
The finer the sawdust used to create the handle, the less noticeable they will be in the glue when finished. It is important to mix the piece of composite glue with the sawdust as thoroughly as possible. Once we are satisfied with the result of mixing, we move on to the next stage.
The blade pin is immersed to the desired length in the adhesive mass, and the hand that holds the “ cold welding”, the handle itself is formed. This is the most important point the entire work process. Feel the knife in your hand, whether it is comfortable to hold in your palm. As long as the handle is pliable, it can be made to any shape.
Once you have formed the handle, set the knife aside for a minute. After this time, take the knife again and evaluate how comfortable it is in your palm. If you are satisfied with the result, let the composite glue harden a little, about a quarter of an hour.
After which the knife blade must be carefully freed from the glue. Now our task is to prepare the handle for final attachment to the blade. For this we have prepared an instantly hardening glue. We simply squeeze it into the hole left in the handle by the pin, and put the handle on the pin again.
Remove any glue that comes out immediately. Despite the fact that we chose glue that dries instantly, we recommend leaving the knife to dry for several hours, or even the whole day.
The knife can be used, but if you plan to leave the handle for a longer time without changing it to a wooden one, we recommend polishing it lightly with an abrasive material and then varnishing it. This handle may not be as beautiful as a wooden handle, but it does not have the disadvantages of wood; it takes a lot of effort to break or ruin it. Also, nothing will happen to it if the knife is stored for some time in conditions that would probably sharpen the wooden handle.
Be sure to complete such a large-scale knife repair by sharpening it and, if necessary, polishing it, since cutting tool new life, then let it be truly brilliant from scratch. Use it!
