This knife is not that old. 100% sure. The slipjoint didn’t become popular until the late 18th century. Before that it was mostly friction folding knives, but fixed blades were much more common. Just because it is found with some old coins doesn’t mean it’s from the same time.
I think, you are using the coins to make the pocket knife to look older, than it is ! You did it once before, this is the second time and what happens two times, gives already a pattern!
Cool, however if the coins were rare, you completely devalued them. Never, never clean / restore coins. You can take a coin worth thousands and reduce the value to zero. Always consult a numismatist before doing anything to coins. Otherwise fun to watch. 😊👍
A basic scrubbing with mild soap and a good electrolysis bath will do the same as major museums do. When people break out the wire brush first I get worried.
This is positively amazing! Just imagine having this knife and these coins in your hands, as old as they are! I find it more than phenomenal that they even *exist* after all this time! I'm usually just blown away when you do something from the 1800s or very early 1900s, and now, I'm speechless. 😄 Thank you so much for sharing these marvelous pieces of the past. I'm glad it interests you and you find pleasure in bringing us such surprising things. By the way, FANTASTIC JOB!! Take care. Blessings.....💖
I love watching you restore knives they are truly beautiful. It would be about 100 years before my family came to America when someone was carrying that knife. My line has been traced back to 1740.
Cleaning old coins with a wirebrush. Jesus. That almost makes me cry. Just use citric acid in high concentrations for a few minutes and then neutralize in a baking soda solution. Clean with a soft toothbrush. If they are silver you can leave them as long as you like. If they are copper, half a minute max or they will turn red. .
Mooi gerestaureerd dit zakmes, zeker daar doe ik niets aan af. Maar 17de eeuw loopt vanaf 1601 tot 1700 ik schat dit zakmes jonger, rond 1860 op zijn vroegst denk ik zelfs, mening gebaseerd op de verregaande industrialisatie van de bouwwijze ( bijv. de vering) van dit mes.
Amazing to think when you first opened the blade it was hundreds of years since it was closed and the owner is dust now .lf he only knew we'd be looking at his knife across the world .
I see you've switched over to some modern day tools. I think that is good to combine some of the new with the old ways. The shop was a good idea, but next time use a nylon brush. That is what they would use at the Museum.
Nice job OP!!! For some reason I'm more interested in the coins rather than the knife. Can somebody rec a channel for medieval/Roman coin stuff like this?
So interesting that 360 years ago, they had the same knife design as todays switchblades. The metal might not be that refined but the design is pretty much the same.
@Jay M Do you have any problems? I only wrote as a comment to @Manny Khan that this type of pocket knife has been around since the Roman Empire. What do you not understand about it or are you just bored?
I love this channel but as an avid coin collector I nearly had a heart attack when I saw him scrubbing those coins. That would have taken around 90 percent off their value.
7:40 I cringed to death. You removed 99% of those coins' values. They're now ruined and full of micro-scratches. Patina is gone forever. Coins are cleaned with neutral soap and a toothbrush only, gently.
)))) the brush I used with soft plastic bristles. Copper is a hard metal and the field of the coin is non-uniform, so there will be no scratches even when enlarged. Only dirt is removed with a brush and soap.
@@ReXtorer Yay! Better now. (Despite, I'm a chemist and copper is definitely not a hard metal. Take care still!). Aside from that, I loved the restoration and I would buy a knife like this for sure!
The fact, that tey were found together, not necessarily means, that the pocket knife is also from 1664! I don't think, that the pocket knife is so old! I think, somebody found old things and stored them together! By the way-i'm archaeologist!
The knife can be no older than the newest/youngest of the coins. You should have shown ALL of the coins. It would give you more credibility. If you deliberately chose the oldest coins to feature in your video, you are doing what is called cherry picking. Zero credibility.
Not exactly what I’d call a “restoration”. I think the better choice would be to do a mild cleaning and leave her be as a display piece. In my opinion you ruined the history of it.
Wow, this is a great video, thanks for posting. It's interesting to see that today's pocket-knife technology goes back 350+ years (at least)! Why the bluing? How old was that "iron rod"? The coins also turned out nicely.
Clasp knives, or pocket knives of this sort were carried and used by Roman soldiers waaaaay longer than 350 years ago. It's quite an interesting history.if you want to look into it.
Євгене, дякую за відео! Цікаво було б, почати відновлювати і сам метал, а не знімати шар. Як варіант - пайка Кротовини на металі - це, звісно, добре, але побачити в первозданному стані було б ще краще

I totally agree with you Lorbera ! Slijoints did not exist in the 17th century.
Slipjoints were invented in 1660 maybe not incredibly common until later but it's not out of the realm of possibility
I was wondering about this.
I'm convinced half this stuff is fake
In Jean-Jacques Perret's seminal 'The Art of the Cutler', pub.1771, the slipjoint mechanism is already popular.
I think, you are using the coins to make the pocket knife to look older, than it is ! You did it once before, this is the second time and what happens two times, gives already a pattern!
That knife is just a piece of art, great job as usual!
A terrific lesson on how NOT to handle old coins.
Cool, however if the coins were rare, you completely devalued them. Never, never clean / restore coins. You can take a coin worth thousands and reduce the value to zero. Always consult a numismatist before doing anything to coins. Otherwise fun to watch. 😊👍
I don't know if the knife is that old, but it's cool to imagine it is. Great job!
There is no chance that this is that old !
why?
@@bentleyrevis6038pin location, construction style, blade tang, etc. To me it looks like something from the mid 1800’s at the oldest.
Amazing !
Interesting historical work !

Never ever clean coins
Вы большой молодец ! Золотые у вас руки .
Добра и Мира .

P
Wire brush to those coins may not have been the best idea.
this is not a wire brush. I used a plastic brush
I was more interested in the coins then the knife
❤❤
Nice restoration
Дуже приємно бачити таку працю !!

Now that's a knife ... top marks.
☺☺
I like the way you left the handle. It keeps it original and makes for a better grip.
If it is really old, I am not sure, that this is the correct way to conserve it. And if it isn’t…
✌👍
Awesome 💪
☺❤
Love it.
Were did you find it that was amazing
Have yourself a 1664 beer after that one!
Thank you! Good idea)
@@ReXtorer Find a numismatist who has one. You can probably pay him with the coins! 😃
)))
☺❤
Отличный нож.Немного не верится что он 17 века.
Very cool.😊
very nice🙂🙂
Благодарствую за науку.
Those coins are rare AF! I would donate those to a museum!
❤❤
Friend, there are a lot of these coins in museums.
Not really rare at all just old
Very nice knife 😂

Ótimo trabalho. Tenho uma pergunta. Porquê usou sabão nas moedas? Não seria ideal a solução de vinagre?👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

What material are the coins made of?
These are copper coins
@@ReXtorer thanks!

Спасибо. Отлично!

What's that on the engine instead of a whetstone? Brush? Or a rubber circle?
Nice job OP!!! For some reason I'm more interested in the coins rather than the knife. Can somebody rec a channel for medieval/Roman coin stuff like this?

Check out the channel "Classical Numismatics"
Postapo slipjoint...
Супер! 👍👍👍
❤☺
عمل رائع احسنت 😁👏🏼
nice job. personally tho, i wud have welded it all up and then grinded it bak 2 shape then polished it. great job again.
NEVER clean old coins. Especially with an abrasive wire brush. The value plummets
it's a plastic brush
Great Work👍
Polish copper coins "boratynki", eagle on one side, on the other side-face of king Jan Casimir.
Amazing!
So interesting that 360 years ago, they had the same knife design as todays switchblades. The metal might not be that refined but the design is pretty much the same.
It's not anywhere near that old. It's a 20th century folder. He just makes stuff up.
Such pocket knives have been around since the Roman Empire.
@Jay M Do you have any problems? I only wrote as a comment to @Manny Khan that this type of pocket knife has been around since the Roman Empire. What do you not understand about it or are you just bored?
What do you do with the coins??? I can't believe my eyes...
the eagle on one of the coins is the Polish eagle of the Waza (AKA Vasa) kings (Vasas' Arms - heart shield)
May he live another 400 years
Ridiculous, there were no pocket knifes like this at that time.
Great job! I’m a blacksmith, and I would love to have a pattern of that knife to try to recreate it on the anvil.
❤☺
Haha that was excactly what I was thinking ;)
Was 1664 the youngest coin?
I think you really damaged the value of those coins by cleaning them.
❤❤
From what I can tell he did devalue them by a moderate amount
Tell me. When did you see any old coins at auction or a museum that were dirty, moldy, etc.
I love this channel but as an avid coin collector I nearly had a heart attack when I saw him scrubbing those coins. That would have taken around 90 percent off their value.
I think so
Do you look through the garbage dump to find junk?
It’s perfect

I'm more interested in the story than the knife. Can you provide more information?
❤☺
Coins form the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth.
How do you know it’s from the 17th century
No debería haberse restaurado, solamente neutralizar el óxido y nada más. (Es mi humilde opinión).
Niatjok
Restoration? That was probably nothing more than a little derusting.
17th century knife?
not by a long shot.
if the find story is true, all you can say that it is most probably no older than 1664.
vary cool but don't clean coins it hurts me on the inside
This is a video on everything you shouldn't do to restore a knife
Are any of the coins for sale?
Слава Україні! Слава українським майстрам! Гарно вийшло.👍👍👍🇺🇦💪
Героям слава! Дуже дякую!

Залишив коментар до відео з розкопів «чекаю на відео з реставрацією», а ось воно

Great Work bro:
Well done.
I wish you more success ☺❤
Now you have me curious… why did you only clean 4 of the coins? Amazing work on the knife, and the coins!
☺❤
Super
This knife was made before America was a country!
What country are the coins from?
The eagle looks like the Polish eagle from that time period.
Jakaś bzdura. Nożyk ma kilkadziesiąt lat najwyżej. Ktoś go schował ze starymi monetami i tyle.
you can only conclude it's from after 1664
Another amazing job. Beautiful outcome. Thanks for sharing.
If they could only talk We might hear some fantastic stories 😀
Be safe
Please name of liquid
500 BCE was when the first pocket knife was created holy hell I didn't know that
👍👍
Why dont you just change rhe blade with vik blade🤣
😍
How do you know it’s 1664 specifically?
Dating from the latest coin)

Anything that's 358 years old wouldn't look like that
So there were muskets, but no one would make this knife in those times? You really think so?
Wow, this is a great video, thanks for posting. It's interesting to see that today's pocket-knife technology goes back 350+ years (at least)! Why the bluing? How old was that "iron rod"? The coins also turned out nicely.
The iron rod was 150-200 years old. It is also wrought iron.
Clasp knives, or pocket knives of this sort were carried and used by Roman soldiers waaaaay longer than 350 years ago.
It's quite an interesting history.if you want to look into it.
Bit of a letdown,coins should never be "restored"........the 🔪 was not that old by it's design.
Євгене, дякую за відео!
Цікаво було б, почати відновлювати і сам метал, а не знімати шар. Як варіант - пайка
Кротовини на металі - це, звісно, добре, але побачити в первозданному стані було б ще краще
