Restoration of WWII Mauser K98 Bayonet from 1940

- In this video I'm restoring a World War 2 German bayonet which was used with Mauser K98 rifles. I found this bayonet myself on a WW2 battlefield with a metal detector. I tried to be as gentle as possible, I don't like taking too much metal off of historical pieces like this one.

Подуставший, но ещё бодрый штычара. Респект проделанной работе!!!
@@Malina_1_9_8_6_ Сказал как пёрнул , дурилка.
Да хороший сохран..для спеца,это просто чудо...Мне как ремесленнику,он так вообще нормалек.
you are a real master - Lancaster!
"the leather is in quite bad condition"...bit of an understatement there..
Very well done considering the original condition of this bayonet. Happy New Year!!
A fine restore on this one.
Cool Brother! You are the best of the best! Talntishche! Your video is the best! So much patience in you! You are so skillful! Real master! Thanks a lot! I admire your work!
Хорошая работа👍 я ещё бы клин немного подточил, чтоб слома не было видно.
@@Malina_1_9_8_6_ ты прибацанный что ли?
Great job. It's not easy, but you did it.
Good job.
This is such a well made video. Especially if you consider the condition of this bayonet. Amazing!! Good job
I'm happy to hear that, thank you!
Love it ❤️
Very good 👍👍👍
2. I am really impressed by the ways you create this video! It’s extremely exciting!
As far as I know, it's not a Bajonett - it's a so called Seitengewehr.
Very nice. I like your work
Great work! It not easy but you did it weel. 😃😃
Job well dun their 👍👍my friend
very cool.😊
If you don't have welding gear, it might be worth your while at some point to get someone to weld a small piece of steel to the tip, so that you can reprofile a new completely sharp tip on it. That, however, goes against the possibility of the tip having been broken in a battlefield fight, which is evidence of it having been used for its intended purpose, of course.
I have thought of restoring the tip but decided against it. As you mentioned, the broken tip is indeed an evidence or a "battle damage". For me it makes the bayonet unique and adds some value.
You shouldn’t weld tips back onto blades or knives if ruins the hardening and tempering process plus it changes the internal structure and will be prone to break again you would be much better to reshape the tip an it wouldn’t cause any more damage
I would leave the tip it is part of your sypathetic restoration. Every time you or others see it.....iimagination going.
Заморочиться, шкурить, шпаклевать, снова шкурить, чтобы в итоге просто обоссать из черного баллона...
Как сказано уже в комментариях, реставрацией не пахнет, помыл, маслицем полил и молодец.
Сам являюсь обладателем такого штык-ножа, отсутствуют деревянные накладки ручки и кожаный элемент ножен. Если кто знает где можно найти под них выкройки или купить недостающие части - напишите пожалуйста.
На Авито полно. Есть новодел есть оригинал.
@@Malina_1_9_8_6_ где? А то без запятых написано, не понятно, что конкретно имеешь ввиду.
на сайте WW II , раздел реставрация, позывной Юрген у него видел выкройки ну и там же можно купить либо новодел либо чердачный сохран, но редко поподаются.
Thanks for your video.
I was surprised about the damage to the bakelite grip.
Do you think it was like the broken tip of the blade and happened during the war?
I enjoyed viewing your work!
Thank you! I believe it might have been broken during the war because the bayonet was found in the forest among other WW2 finds.
I have 2 different along with a 98k my uncle brought back from WWII. You have to be careful the troops had a tendency to sharpen those bayonets
Excellent restoration! Do you happen to know if the bolster and the butt were pressed onto the plate or if the entire bayonet is made from a single steel piece?
Merry Christmas!
Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too! The bolster is pressed using two rivets and the butt seems to be inseparable so it's made from the same piece of steel as the remaining bayonet.
для электролиза лучше использовать свинцовую пластину, а ножны я бы заварил, не такое уж там "звёздное небо" мелкие раковины запаял, но в целом хорошо, пружину ножен варил или донор?
It can be much better with some weding, grinding and polishing and some new learher work, but is good enough
Yes, but my goal was to keep the authenticity of the item. Welding, grinding and polishing would make it look like new, which is good in some cases. But with items like this I try more to preserve it rather than remake :)
You did a beautiful job on this considering the condition but one question why did you leave all that rust inside the Scab-er and only hit it loosely with the files? I would of poured rust desolver down inside let it soak get all the rust out and flush it out clean then dump cold bluing inside to protect it> I dont understand leaving all the rust inside ?
Класс!
love this. I have one without the frog with the old school wooden handles. The scabbard has a dent in it near the base. Any good tips for fixing that?
Thanks. The best way would be to make or find a metal bar that is nearly identical to the scabbard's inside shape and push that bar inside the scabbard. It would straighten the dent. You can also use a metal rod, fix it in a vice, push the other end inside the scabbard and carefully hit that dent with rubber/wooden hammer until the surface is smooth and straight and there are no signs of the dent.
Either a bar or a rod have to be really smooth, otherwise it may make extra dents to the scabbard. You can also try with a wooden piece that fits the scabbard from the inside. And don't forget to remove the spring in the beginning. I hope I explained it well enough :)
Good job . Why does nobody grease the press stud , both ny k98 have the original grease on them?
Przepiękne jest to odrestłrowane czy nie lepiej było to żeby laserem wypiaskować 🤔 pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku 👍👍👍👍
Молодец класно магьош
Projects like this, in a way, honor those who served!
Thank you, well said!

If it is an original there should be ‘waffenambt’ markings on it. Look very closely and you will find them. (small eagle) on the tip of the casing for instance.
Please let me know if you have found them. 👍🏼
Hello, yes there are Waffenamt markings. Unfortunately my camera lens doesn't focus that close up. If you look closely, I tried to show them on the back of the handle grips after I cleaned them. At about 14:42. And I found several on the butt near the button as well.
Hello!
Can I ask what type of paint you used to paint the sleeve that won't chip off after a few months?
Do you still have this bayonet?
Hasn't the paint come off since then?
You know, I have a Magyar FÉG 35M bayonet, the sheath of which was originally painted goosepoop-green, but mine was rusty, so I sanded off the rust and now I should paint it.
I just don't know how to make it last.
Hi! Yes, I still have this bayonet and the paint is completely intact. I used Hardcore brand black matt spray paint but there're lots of suitsble paints out there. If your paint comes off it's either because of wrong paint or the metal being greasy/dirty. In any case you should clean before painting and i recommend to use the primer. It's much easier for the paint to hold onto primer than the bare metal. I didn't use one because I knew the bayo would be on a shelf at home and because the putty kinda works like primer too. Anyway, the paint on the sleeve seems strong. Good luck!
@@soul_iron_restoration Thank you very much for your help! Helped a lot. May I ask the name of the resin-like substance you used to fill the rust pits?
Happy to help! :)
The resin is called putty. It is widely used for car body repairings. You can find it in any tools/hardware or car-related stores. Look for those suitable for metal as some of them are for wood. The process of using it can be seen in this video :)
@@soul_iron_restoration Thank you very much! 🙂
What is that green stuff used to polish the nets?
That is a polishing paste. They come in different colours and different grits, just like sanding paper. From more robust to really fine. With the paste you can make the metal surface to be like a mirror. I used it to slightly refresh the look, it was a bit dull.
@@soul_iron_restoration Thank You!
Is there any other procedure than argon welding to restore the broken edge of the bayonet? Fludor soldering, for example? I don't use the blade to cut.
@@alenalost2822 You can definitely solder the holes and the edge and then file and sand to make the surface smooth. It's easier than welding. With welding you could get even black finish because the welds are also iron like the blade. Solder will remain white, it doesn't react with the blueing solution. You might want to keep your blade white too, then the solder won't be very visible
What about the long bayonet, 2 feet long. Is it an older, WWI version or what? My Mauser K98 is also much longer than the WWII version.
Yes, longer bayonet was used during the WW1 :) I wish to get one someday
6/10.
k98 or g98 bayonets.
Seems like you went from conserving (the bayonet) to restoring (the scabbard) with a couple of scavenged parts thrown in. This type of project cries out for one or the other (conserve or refurbish). Interesting watching though.
Не самый лучший результат, или поленился, или просто нет опыта. Но и не ушатал окончательно, если попадёт в хорошие руки - есть шанс сделать из него конфетку.
Спасибо, а что бы Вы сделали по другому?
Немецкие штыки лучше советских. Я не такой ценитель раритета я бы реплику приобрёл. Лучше винтовку свт с штык ножом.
Do you think it was left on the battlefield because it had a broken tip?
Everything is possible, although it was and still is a crime to throw away military equipment. The soldier would've been punished for that. It was found on a battlefield where the Germans retreated rapidly from so possibly it was just lost.
Или потерял или рядом с штыком лежит боец. ( Вокруг будут пуговицы , пряжка и ТД). Этот штык в хорошем состоянии, лежал в песке.
Кончик сломан и лезвие явно затачивалось.Новый штык не затачивался,в моем детстве штыки были разменной монетой,а шлемы использовались для поилки кур.Штыков у меня было 6 шт,в том числе бучер,лежали в диване ,когда ушел в СА отец фронтовик выбросил
Жаль,что живу далеко...а то бы к этому штык-ножу подарил оригинальные номерные ножны.
This knife was dipped in the mud some time before filming to get rusty for the views.
Yes, i did that about 80 years ago lol. To get rust like that it's not enough to just dip it in the mud.
@@soul_iron_restoration Do you want to convince me that for 80 years he was in the mud and remained in this form, the white iron visible under the mud dear .
The white iron was only inside the scabbard because it was somewhat protected from the oxygen. I don't need to prove anything, if u want then look up some WW2 metal detecting videos where they find bayonets like that and you will see exactly the same situation. There're lots of such videos on YT. Have a nice day!
Where is Austrian Art school symbol
Very poor restoration lacking in descent tools and knowledge
Это новое шаман шоу? Красная рубаха и четки на запястьях? Эка невидаль штык от маузера! Интересно клеймо у гарды. Типа зольден и т д.
I have a ww2 nazi dress dagger that I would like to send in to you. Brass scabbard with engravings on it. Steel blade pitted with age and tip damage
Wow, that sounds awesome! Maybe you could show some pictures of it?
а для многих мыка да застариш .испортил.почистил бы и край.
Это против нас опять готовите ножики?
