- Very Rusty 19th Century Pocket Knife Restoration. I found this folding knife at a WW1 military camp site. The knife is very rusty. He lay underground for 105 years. The style of the knife is similar to the 19th century. This knife was made by a blacksmith. I decided to restore it. I removed the rust and preserved the blade. I hope you liked my restoration.

This knife looks so neat, I would've loved to have seen what it looked like brand new.
Have you heard of eBay? Plenty of great knives on there 🎉😂❤
Earned my script. Well done.
I realise this is one restoration that didn't recover the knife's intended use but l think it's a thing of beauty as it is now. It is so interesting to be able to still see the damage and change that has happened to the knife. It reflects it's history in the way that a complete restoration actually loses in becoming 'like new' again.
Exacto
Eh, beauty is subjective, I can see the art and skill in restoring something like this
Yeah, it reminded me a little bit of kintsugi, which is an old Japanese thing where they’d repair a broken piece of pottery with bright golden seams. The point is to actually show and celebrate the broken object’s history as opposed to trying to hide it.
It’s “realize”
@@Its_Gramm realize is the common US spelling; realise is the common UK spelling. Both are grammatically acceptable spellings of the same verb.
I love seeing the restoration of almost time forgotten objects… amazing
Beautiful work.
My grandfather passed away when I was eight years old. I got to help carry his casket, which I’m sure I was of no help but I was there with him. It was a military funeral I remember being so sad and so proud at the same time. Hours before the funeral we visited his body at the funeral home as a family. When no one was looking I slipped my most prized possession in one of the pockets of his brown corduroy suite jacket. It was a small folding pocket knife with what looked like pearl handles on it. Someday I’m hoping to see him in the next life where he will hand me back that pocket knife. I miss you grandpa.
This is a masterful restoration. I would have considered this piece too far gone. Good work.
It is
I could spend hours watching this stuff. I love it! Great job, with a basket case. Glad to see that I'm not the only one that attempts these kinda projects.
That was one Rusty, Crusty Knife! Lots of patience and skill; Kudos to you for your most excellent handy work!
I'm not a restorer, but I like old things. And to watch a careful restoration of things like this, nestled in a perfekt made small video is pure joy for me. Thanks a million to share this.
I think this is as much as it can be restored, I like his patience and determination
So fedup with fake restorations, nice too see the real thing, well done!
Ur blind, that K nife is in no way 105!!!!!
@@wolen13_12 i cant veryfy the age nor dose that matter to me, the restoration look very real, not fake rusting etc
@@davidfrith8289 tho the cleaning is real, please don't say it's over a hundred wen I know it's not.
@@wolen13_12if it’s steel it could be. Iron that thin won’t last even 50 years.
You can tell this is a real restoration. This is what something actually looks like after being in the elements for years. Not like these other channels that throw some brown paint on something and chip the wood a little bit and then scrape it off to make a video of a “restoration”.
Love watching these. I just did an old timer pocket knife for a buddy. His dads knife that was laying in the bottom of a Jon boat for over a decade. Seeing the look on their face is always priceless
You did a fabulous job on restoring that knife...It is very beautiful in an abstract way....
thank you for truly restoring it and keeping the pitting! i see so many "restoration" channels that replace entire parts of things and its like 'cmon man you didnt restore it you made an entirely new one...'
Keep the pitting? If the pitting was removed, there wouldn't be a knife left!
I did not expect you to be able to extract the blade from that pile of rust. I like the finished product. It looks like a piece of the moon!
HOLY SMOKES THAT WAS AN AMAZING JOB.. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT YOU HAVE STORED IN YOUR CLOSET... KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK....
I've been subscribed for a while now. This is remarkable work. Most people would not have attempted or have the skills to take on this project. I was amazed to see the outcome. This knife has taken on a new character. Well Done!

@@alexiaa2388 lightbulb
Its a fake.
@@teamaztecas763I remember a lot of these videos were fake but do you happened to remember how to tell they were real?
These videos are always amazing but this one was really interesting. That was a heck of a lot of work. Congratulations, beautiful job.
It’s just amazing how much effort and work you put into this
all the work & effort & you still don't have anything useful
@@billtribble7197 guy rusted the thing and de-rusted the thing and restored it and im watching it here at 5 am still bored
Waste of time, for everyone involved I'm afraid.
Would want that in a collection any day.
i love how you kept the pitting, not trying to fill it in. it keeps its personality that way.
Love your work. The further gone the better the restoration to me! Keep it up! ❤
😅
Never dreamed that it would look good again, but it does! Nice job!
Love how it turned out buddy great work
Looks like a Barlow with that blade ❤ it may be pitted, but it’s still a thing of beauty
(I do love that you stopped this from being eaten up completely)
You are the best restorer of knives and lighters on You Tube.
This is nothing short of an art form.
Great job bringing the knife back to as good as possible. I was with you right to when you showed how HORRIBLY pitted it was. At that point I would have bailed on the project and let the ground have the knife for another 105 years.
honestly he could have replaced the handle with a wood one, and maybe done some spot welds to fill in the larger gaps
Same
Beautiful, now it's a work of art.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
A unique appearance and fully functional. Excellent work.
Fully functional? Are you serious?
@@pacomerino4964 yes I am serious.
@@pacomerino4964 restoring this knife is like restoring a 80 year old grandpa. cant be done, these comments faken baffle me
@@alexiaa2388 I know, its like I landed in Bizzaro world.
This is what's called fine craftsmanship.
I'm pretty sure the person doing this takes this as a way of relaxing😊
Great job, to bring back a knife from a WW1 trench. The pits just remind me of bomb craters, so it's perfect.
It sorta reminds me of a meteorite. Like it fell from space and landed as a folder😂 awesome work!
very nice end result. The pitting makes it look very unique and funky cool.
I like it !…….from what it was to where you took it was awesome .
Looking at the knife pre-restoration, I was wondering how many different types of rust removal you’ll have to try.
Wow beautiful work, congratulations!!!
Bellisssssssima nice work. Thi is old school pocket knife. Pachuco I love it
Wisely left enough of it for another restoration you are genius hats off to you sir...
My old daddy said "you can't make chicken soup out of chicken sh**", But you certainly did a great job of saving what was left of an old relic. Good Job!
I’m amazed by how this knife had survived 105 years to be made into a CZcams video
It's maker said: One time in a near future. This knife will be restore by someone on CZcams. You will see 😂
@T M I found it in a WW1 trench. The First World War ended in 1918. 2023 - 1918=105 years) On this channel I publish a video of a search with a metal detector www.youtube.com/@ArtifactDigger
That's in very poor condition but good work restoring it, quite therapeutic
@T M sorry buddy I beg to differ. I literally bought a 100 year old pen knife from a car bootsale for 50p. Yes it was a little rusty but cleaned up easy enough, was a T Turner and Co Sheffield twin blade and in my opinion yellowed ivory or mother of pearl handle, also enscribed 'Cutlers to His Majesty the King' which was the dead give away that it was about a hundred years old because that's when we last had a king.
🤠😂😁🤣👍
Not overly restored. looks great!!
Hats off to your hard work and patience
When I saw the original condition I thought it would be impossible to turn it back into a desirable knife. Looks like I was right !
You are entitled to your incorrect opinion
@@celestinemorningstar4851 You've spelt 'subjective' wrong.
@@Alpine_Joe
I absolutely love the response that you made to his objectively incorrect statement.
Thank you for being one of the few remaining people who understands the difference between facts and opinions, as well as subjectivity vs. objectivity.
We are becoming more and more rare.
@@celestinemorningstar4851
I'm not sure if you knew this or not but an opinion, by definition, is subjective, which therefore means that it cannot be incorrect.
An "incorrect opinion" is not a thing that exists. Like...at all. Ever.
A statement can be correct or incorrect. An opinion cannot. If you can prove that something is incorrect, that means it's not an opinion. It's an incorrect statement of fact.
In this case, the person who made the original comment didn't say that the knife couldn't be restored, he said that it couldn't be made into a desirable knife. The word "desirable" is entirely subjective, because what is desired is entirely dependent upon the values of each individual person.
The things that I value highly and find desirable might seem unnecessary or stupid to someone else.
Let me give you an example.
"I think you're stupid" is an opinion. It implies that the speaker believes that the subject of their statement lacks sufficient knowledge or intelligence, in one area specifically, or overall as a whole.
Meanwhile, the statement "Opinions cannot be incorrect because they are subjective, and rely entirely on perspective" is just a statement of fact. Because it can be proven, and is therefore impossible to refute, it's not an opinion.
I hope this helps in the future. 👍😂
@@SevenTheJesteryou're stupid. That is my opinion. I'm not wrong.
Again, outstanding!
Repairs on a bit of history nice 👍 worth all the hard work and patience
Welldone ... with old patina !
Nice.
You know your craft being so many steps. Well designed video !!
Ótimo trabalho ! Belo resultado !
By the way that's really cool from a rusty crusty guys point of view, thanks for helping people see a value in old things.
THANKS FOR KEEPING IT SO ORIGINAL ❤
Salvaje restauración, quedo muy buena con ese toque animal print, tremendo trabajo FELICITACIONES
beautiful restoration there buddy, that is very impressive :)
This knife looks like it was handmade that in itself makes it a keeper very interesting.
it looked like it was going to crumble into dust. it's like a fossil jack knife now. great job.
Awesome job Brother! Loved the video! The things you find at 3am on CZcams ❤ You got new sub. I was looking to restore an old pocket knife I have and found your video! Great job bringing back an old relic 👍❤️
I'm a huge fan of restoration videos including your videos every time I see new videos I really go and watch it and also I love your channel and I hope to watch more and more of your videos
Nice job, but my mind can't get over those holes
It never occurred to me that something that rusted could be recovered. Otherwise, I would go buy a new pocketknife and take proper care. Interesting video. Thanks
Beatiful restoration, Friend 😉👍👏
Congratulations and Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪👋
Can I ask how do we know it was underground for 105 years and how can you tell the age of these pieces you find? Love your channel btw.
I don't believe he can tell that. He just probably guessed that it was based on the context surrounding the knife and where it was.
In the description of the video he mentioned he found it in a ww1 trench, so he probably made an educated guess or did research to find out when fighting took place in the era he found it.
@@flypast9725 yeah, that's probably true. I'll buy it. :)
@@davidkfreeman6107 he put it in his super secret hyper rust machine is that what you want to hear?
@@algee4054 LOL.. I knew it the Super rust 5000.. I've used that before. hahaha
Amazing Restoration 👍🏻👍🏽👍
You done the best you could with what you had.. you done A Awesome Job.. that is’ if you ask this guy.. hope to see you on the next one..😀
my grandma looks older than this knife and she’s 60 💀💀
Rust never sleeps
Beautiful Restoration 👍
Heroic, though bordering on quixotic. I would love to have this guy on my team.
Nice work. The pocket knife has stories to tell and now one can dream of what they may be. It's looks the part. Cheers 🇨🇦
Probably not this one though. “I was issued to a soldier, he dropped me in the mud and I sat there for 105 years until some dude with a metal detector found me”
All I can say is WOW. I can't imagine. Awesome 👍😎
The rust has run so deep over the years, Good job over all though.
Hello mister beautiful knife beautiful restoration good job well done
I like that you didn’t try to fill the pockmarks or add new metal, just restored the original metal.
I'd enjoy seeing you nickel plate one of those pocket knives sometime!
It has a vintage vibe. Good job. 🎉
I think it's gorgeous.
Back to life! Great job.
I absolutely love this restoration and would pay good money to own it.
Me too
That is the rustiest knife I’ve every seen.
That looks like a obsidian knife almost ! Thanks for taking the time to finish too the every end! You should honestly make a website and sell everything you restore on it
Too far gone, in my opinion.
Yeah I wouldn’t bother
Not really it still works maybe keep your opinion to yourself if nothing good to say .
@@MARTIN-bd7gm same to you
@@MARTIN-bd7gm Easy, Mr. Martin. It's a restoration film.
@@MARTIN-bd7gm Chill dude
That’s hella work to get a pocket knife. But, if you have to pull it in self-defense, at the very least you’ll give your opponent tetanus.
Beautiful. Well done
Thanks for sharing
Вподобайка це мабуть за мало. Любов до реставрації велика справа👍. А я й кращі колись в метал викидав, але Евгене ваша робота надихає на,, подвиги''. Але це все буде потім - наразі перемога.
Well done, I am torn between cleaning it up to prevent further decay and filling the pits to make it like new. I think it depends what it is
Wonderfully done. Why did you decide to keep the indents of corrosion instead of filling it to make it smooth?
Great restoration. 👍👍
Amazing restoration with just the right amount of original character left in place. I would have liked to see a true edge put on it though.
Beautiful work. I really loved that pewter color after you cleaned it though....
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires.❤
I always wanted to trade crypto for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me although I have watched many CZcams videos about it but still find it difficult to understand.
It makes sense that BTC and crypto are of helping to regulate, rather than pretend it won't ever happen.
The big institutions getting In is the catalyst that will laugh us made they grow used to it becomes a nonissue usually because of their fears never materialize.
And benefits they were unaware of before turn out to be more beneficial
Trading is easy, but trading the right coin without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard.
My advice, never do shorts or longs on stocks or #crypto
most people went bankrupt better buying in parts monthly
I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I got into the market. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over overboard and been making about $1 500 bi-weekly, What I'm trying to say is the 5% of traders in the world that are consistently profitable are very reserved, they are just random/lowkey people no one even expects.

Esses vídeos me ajudam muito a acalmar a ansiedade, obrigada pelo trampo
Eu estou aqui pelo mesmo motivo kk ^^
Arroz televisão maçã verde disponha;
@@olho_do_ku ??????
I had my doubts sir. Well done
Боже,это очень красиво!
Not sure if this is more of a rust removal video than a restoration video since the knife was sooo pitted.
There are different types of restoration. I didn't do something new
@@ReXtorer yeah it wouldn't make sense to add metal to it but I would have left it in the ground, no offense to you, my opinion is not a reflection on your skills.
4:47 wow.. like a chilly chutney ❤
She lives to serve another day. One more cut, one more groove. One more mark to leave behind, all before the void calls back. One last wound, deep and true.
I'm usually impressed by your work. But this one was too far gone.
Wdym by that?
I don’t know man. I would’ve loved to add that knife to my collection. The old aesthetic looks gorgeous on it, considering when it was made
@@Dr3wskee14
The end result looked like a few dilapidated pieces of metal. It had no character.
Lol. Were you expecting mint 👍
@@benfrost8697 There's no way this one could ever be mint. It was FUBR. Do you think every piece can be restored?
Przepiękna jest ta zrobiona robota i elgencko jest odrestaurowany ten zabytkowy nuż pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku 👍👍👍👍
I'd love this knife its beautiful.
