In this restoration I rebuilt several parts from scratch while preserving the original character of the tool. The original wooden board was beyond saving, so I crafted a new one from solid oak and finished it with food-safe oil. The blade mounting plate had to be completely remade as well, including a custom brass bushing because the original thread was destroyed. The blade holder itself needed more serious repair. I manufactured a new thread section and laser welded it into place before restoring the rest of the part. The blade was carefully restored and sharpened, and I also made a new wooden handle with a brass end cap. To finish the project, all metal parts were nickel plated for protection and durability, while the oak board received a food-safe finish. This old kitchen tool is now fully functional again and ready for many more years of use.
