Pocket Knife Blade Replacement

- Replacing the blade of a worn out Boy Scout Pocket knife. The whole knife could use some more love, but to get it back into use, I just needed to replace the blade part. I used 5160 steel for the replacement and tempered it a bit more than normal since it'll get some heavy use from the owner. For those asking, the words on the crest on the knife are "Be Prepared."

I can't believe he would take the time to make another but didn't clean up the rest of the pieces of the knife.
He didn't? Thought they just looked dirty because of them being carbon steel.
Agreed. He had the knife all apart, but didn’t clean and polish the rest when it was the perfect time to do so. Perhaps he was just wanting to make the knife useful. Good blade replacement however, without the original tang stamp. All is in the eyes of the beholder.
Thought the same myself😏
I'm surprised you didn't clean up the other blade's . Thanks for sharing.
I'm surprised you used an apostrophe when "blades" was merely plural, not possessive
You missed the nail slot
Good video. I’ve been cleaning up and repairing several old knives. This inspires me to try to do something more intricate.
Got to say I'm very impressed I take apart and put together pocket knives all the time as part of my job and I got to say you're the first video I've seen where somebody actually filmed taking apart a pocket knife and replacing the blade and putting it back together that alone is awesome to see but yeah I would love to see another video of the whole knife being restored
I want more of this content as well. Specifically recovering traditional slipjoints with the jigging and cover sanding etc. and some more info on the pinning work.
Muy buen trabajo elaborando una nueva hoja y reemplazandola 👌 pero porqué no aprovechar para quitar oxido y pulir las otras piezas ? Eso no tiene perdón 🤦♂️
Such a useful video and not a word spoken. Loved the tear down. It showed everything I needed to know but your photography during the tempering process is top notch. Thank you for posting.
It's a cool video 📹 😎
But 🤔 why not just buy a knife from ebay or something, and take its goodies 😉 instead of making one ur own 🤷🏻♂️
@@Denverscorpio if you have to ask the. The video was lost on you. It's an art form and a chance to make something beautiful instead of buying something mass produced.
That's some fine workmanship.
Impressive work with that torch. Especially when you brought the blade color up to blue. Nicely done.
Yes you have to temper the metal first you heat is then cool it fats in oils to make the metal stiff but fragile then you heat it and cool very slow with heat bringing it down slow this tempers and makes the steel strong
Oh um I may have posted that on the wrong poster if so sorry I've had a couple beers I was only trying to be helpful
The new blade looks great. But, it has NO SNAP!
Great job,make it look easy, but I guess that's youtube.
Still good job, I'm glad that ol knife found someone to take care of it. He didn't look very tired anyway, just forgotten.
Simple, solid and yet innovative restoration, All the best .
Innovative? How?
As a collector, it would be more important for me to preserve the mark than to make a new blade.
Great work
Nice work.
Great job. The Cub and Boy Scout knives are great knives. I have many of both the Imperial and Camillus models. Why didn’t you put a thumb nail cut in the blade? To each his own. Great work.
Outstanding!! Quick question, “Will you a vid on the complete cleaning and wood restoration?” I’m certain your audience will like that as well. What say you? Semper Fi
Good as new great job.
Very nice and I like the fact you did not restore every part because an old knife like this needs to show it's age it's like a book telling it's stories and what it has seen in its life.
What a cool little knife.
That's real nice the way you did that.
nice work greetings from Buenos Aires. Argentina
Amigo, ya que desarmo y recupero la hoja , lo que esta muy bien, devio aprobechar el desarme y limpiar las otras herramientas y dejarla toda bonita , falto el trabajo completo , a seguir trabajando y no cometer el mismo error👍
Muy buen trabajo....
I like that blade profile.
Nice Imperial. Never seen one like it.
Хорошая работа!
I have an old "corvo" from my late grandfather and i'd love to be able to do something like this.
Nice job on the new blade except the point profile is incorrect. A By Scout camp knife has a what I believe is called a drop point. Also, you should cut a thumb nail slot as in the original.
Spear point.
@@wizardofahhhs759 Yes! That’s it! Thanks. 😊
I feel like he changed the profile from the original blade to the new one
Camp knives like these usually have a spear point blade like what's on a Swiss army knife. The replacement blade he made is a slight drop point or "skinner" blade almost like what you see on an old hickory butcher knife
On the "heel" of the new blade (where the edge meets the rotating pin there's a bump) I would have made that a little bigger. It prevents the knife from smacking into the spring when you close it and it's easy to file it down after assembly.
There is no springs but ok
@@devatwell334 The steel spacers are also springs, that’s what allows the blades to snap open and closed and provides the necessary tension for the knife to function properly. 😊
You should cut the pins instead of punching it out of the bolsters! You will minimize widening the counter sink holes and expanding the pin inside the hole!
Yeah that hurt to watch. Use a narrower punch. But impressive, I can't do that.
Labor of love 😊
Great work but blade profile is a little off, needs a nail notch and bigger tang to get more spring tension. I have not made any blades but replaced a few. I haven’t mastered a good looking nail notch, just used a dremel cutting wheel, effective but ugly.
Great video! Love how you gave this old knife a new life. Why no nail nick?
Yep. it was a BLADE REPLACEMENT! Heavens forbid if he would CLEAN IT and restore it.
Nice work. On disassembly, did you pre-drill the rivets before punching them out? Also, on reassembly did you reuse the same rivets or replace them with new rivets? If you replaced them, did purchase them or fabricate them yourself? Also, it looked as though you were going to fabricate a new blade spring as well, did you do that or did you reuse the existing spring? Again, nice job, thank you for posting.
I didn't predrill the rivets, as I was worried the drill would wander. The punch allowed me to be much more accurate, though it was a bit more tedious. I made new rivets on the lathe from mild steel since the size of the originals wasn't readily available. I tried to reuse as much as I could from the knife, so other than the new blade and the rivets, everything else was kept as is.
@@flyingwforge4628 Great job on the penknife Mon Ami. I discovered a really neat way to push out the rivets on these knives : on the stationery jaw to your vice, drill a hole inside the jaw to receive a hardened ,pointed pin (broken drill bits are ideal) whose diameter is just less than the knifepin. Offer the penknife up into the jaws placing a suitably shaped washer (old bicycle brake washers are perfect!) over the other end of the pin to allow it to travel when pushed. Hope that's clear enough. It's a very controlled and non destructive way to push out the pins------ and the same technique will also remove cotter pins/ tool handle pins, etc., all without ever striking a blow. 😄
Did you get the closing of the blade to snap?
Una pena que aprovechando que desmontaste la navaja entera, no aprovecharas para darle un repaso general. Pero das lo que prometes. Eso sí. Reemplazo de hoja dañada. Punto. Ok. Saludos
Это очень хорошая работа , но неужели, разобрав полностью нож нельзя было почистить лайнеры и другие инструменты ?
Nice knife that one.
Are you taking on new projects? I have a Remington RS3333 with a blade broken exactly like this one I would love to have repaired as it is very sentimental
Good job .
What steel made the blade by?
I had a piece of 5160 that was just about right for this project.
@@flyingwforge4628 ,thanks, l got you.
Love that knife.lost mine in 2011 F5 tornado. Is it for sale?
Hi, how can I got a knife across to you for a blade replacement?
What type of steel?
Я бы сделал по другому и клеймо бы сохранил с оригинального лезвия. И да, почему не почистили нож и другие детали, всё равно был разобран?
Dear Mr.
I have "Camillus pocket knife" in 1966. and restoring now.
As you know those pocket knives had spring(leaf spring? or something.),and have to make one. cause broke.
If you do this, what kind of steel you choose? stainless or 5160 steeel like this video.
Thanks,

Old victorinox?
Nice, but I would have cleaned out that disgusting gunk on the internal space plates.
But it was originally a with a spear point blade .
You didn’t sharpen the screwdriver?
No nail nick?
Bellissimo cortellino si puo'acquistare uno uguale e dove?
I need a similar size blade for an all stainless miliitary camp knife. The entire blade is missing. I am ready to snap everything back together if I can find a blade.
Look for a maker stamp, then check online. Ive found replacement blades for old timer knives on walmart.com.
@@JeffyLube I know what I am doing and it is not as easy as you suggest.
@@jgbullen Im not saying its easy, only giving some advice to check online for a replacement
@@JeffyLube I have been there and done that and currently have an expert from a large cutlery company searching through their stock. They buy closeout extra stock from large companies for resale of blades and other parts.
Nice job, but I can’t believe you didn’t clean up the rest of the tool once you had it in pieces.
It’s called patina...some things should show it’s history
Exacto 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 porqué no ?
At least where layers meet and pivoting occurs
👍👍👍👍
Le quitaste lo original la marca🥺
You forgot to put in a nail nick and tang stamp
Now it cuts paper, check the temper on a piece of wood, see if it retains edge, that is true test.
А почему всё не почистил, раз уж разобрал?
por que no aprovechó de limpiar el resto de la navaja? , flojo, podría haber quedado mejor.
🤯👌🏻🇨🇦
Ленивый нехороший человек! Зря потратил время на просмотр
too mystakes
Overdid the temper, look for straw not purple.
Человек разобрал нож для реставрации.... И собрал его со всей грязью, даже не удосужившись почистить.... А на кой хрен он его вообще разбирал?
Travail ni fait ni à faire 🐷
НУДНО !.
Great work
