- Hello folks! Today I have a new restoration video for you. My friend asked me to restore the legendary SVT-40 bayonet knife from the Tokarev system. This item is from the era of the Second World War. The condition of the item is bad, but I will try to fix it. Well, I'm starting to restore the item!
The first duty I began to disassemble the bayonet. I tried to remove the original canvas suspension as carefully as possible, it broke into two parts. But I'll decide that later.
Next, I removed the plastic pads from the knife, because there were always wooden pads in the original. I put all the metal parts in a jar with a rust remover. I put the canvas suspension in a jar with hot water and laundry detergent.
After a while, I took out the metal makers, including the scabbard, and placed them in a jar with warm water and soda to neutralize the acid. I cleaned the screws and nuts from the knife handle with a cord brush. The canvas suspension was washed and ironed. After that, I went to the seamstress to sew the suspension well. I leveled most of the dents on the steel scabbard with the help of homemade metal molds.
The lock on the handle of the bayonet knife was also restored. I soldered the aspen part with a new one, and made a new nut and added a spring. It turned out to be a working lock. I also made new bayonet knife linings from beech wood. After all the work, I assembled the bayonet and showed it to you.
I hope you enjoy this restoration! Thanks for your attention
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

I love that you keep the history of items instead of trying to just polish them up, watching this channel is never disappointing Alex!
Not really one for historical conservation, are you? Is it possible that the plastic grips were added at a re-arsenaling?
Yeah, canvas can only last so long without proper maintenance
In the United States we have Military surplus stores If you have them there why don't you just go and buy a Military Bag that has the right type of strapping on it to remake that piece??
First Brazil 🇧🇷
watch out road runner here comes wyllie coyote
I have 3 antique bayonets in my collection. They're an interesting item. Many nations have their own types, but sometimes have similar if not identical types 😯 Watching you fix the button mechanism was very enlightening. All mine still work, but I always wondered how they were put together.
I hope the knifes new owner will treat it with pride!
Thank you for keeping the history and not making new
Was that your lovely grandma's hand I see sewing the webbing for you? God bless you for letting her help you with this great restoration project!
You, Sir, are an artist! You have a sharp eye for detail, a great understanding of how to work around or overcome problems with a piece and you simply don't give up on things that most of us would have thrown out - such as that suspension strap. Great job as usual!
I love the respect you showed for the bayonet while restoring it. Keeping the fabric, not over-working the blade to keep the 'history', etc. Also, nice work on the wooden handle and the 'spring button thing'.
Очень тематическое видео! Всех с праздником, я сразу пишу комментарии и иду спокойно смотреть видео. Спасибо ❤
Once again, I am impressed. Instead of trying to make something look brand new, you bring out its naturally used beauty. I agree with replacing the plastic with wood as it was made. BRAVO!
Алекс молодец!!! Всё отлично сделал 👍👍👍 Старые вещи не нужно делать блестящими и сверкающими. Должен быть налёт времени.🤝👍
I'm always impressed with the quality of your work and the concern for the life and history of the piece that you are bringing back to life. I also admire your ingenuity and your use of whatever you have to complete your goal. And all of the little dents and scratches have a story to tell and give it some character. You never cease to impress me. Bravo!
Алекс Вы талантливый человек, штык получил вторую жизнь, жалко накладки поломались, успехов Вам и здоровья
Алекс, Вы выглядите браво! Спасибо!
Your workmanship is excellent and you keep the items authentic. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
that blade has had a very hard life and has a story to show, and you preserved and added to that story, really nice piece of work
