- Restoring old Swiss pocket knife. In this video I showed the restoration of an old vintage pocket knife. This is an old Swiss Army knife from the 1950s and 1960s. The knife was broken. I restored the knife and removed the rust. I hope you like my restoration.

I'm glad I don't hear a bunch of stupid music with your videos. It is nice to hear what is going on. I also like that you start with the least amount of cleaning necessary and only work up from there. Well done.
Nicely refurbished. With so many blades and items to use in such a knife, I am sure it wasn't so easy to get everything back together. Thumbs Up!
Thanks!
What a beautiful combination knife. Thank you for giving it so much TLC!
ДОСТОЙНО И АККУРАТНО
TLC! what does it stand for?

I thought it was a chemical compound lol. Thanks for the clearfcation
nice restauration, for your information this knife is'nt a rare Swiss Army Knife , it's a french made knife, around 40's to 60' and common in France
I knew it wasn't an SAK, but I didn't know this was a french knife, thanks for that. :)
Victorinox are purists with their designs and this strays too far from what they usually do.
Good job Rex beautiful restoration well done
Awesome job men ! I know that it has the Cross on the scales, but this looks much more like a France Pradel pocket knife. Plus it has no other mark's on the blade tang or the other implements, so maybe it is a Pradel pocket knife made for the France part of Switzerland. And that is why it doesn't have Pradel written on the blade, and no tang stamp either. Because it clearly isn't a Wenger or a Victorinox knife. But more like it copied some feature's from Victorinox, because Pradel used to copy som implements designer from them. And their logo is similar to the shield with the Cross on it, like the one Wenger and Victorinox used. But the Pradel logo it is actually a flag with a Cross on it not a shield, like it is confused with.
Yes, usually I see these pradel knives with the flag behind the cross, and they are not as rare as ReXtorer says, I've seen plenty of these being sold in serveral online 2nd hand sites, usually for quite cheap, like around 20€ but they also thend to be in bad shape, but this is beacuse these knives are not very high quality, cracking scales and rusted/broken blades are a very common occurance. I still want one in my collection though, but finding a good one proves to be quite hard.
Fantastic viewing. Thanks so much 🙂
That's a knife I'd be proud to own, especially if I had done the work! I've got few in my collection I've 100% restored, and I know the feeling! Excellent work and keep at it!
Вітаю!!! Робота супер як завжди! Складні ножі тобі вдаються супер, роби побільше, можна таких цікавих, зрештою інші речі в тебе супер виходять. Ну деколи може втрачається трохи автентичність, ну але це вже хто як любить. P. S Ніж скоріш за все не швейцарець а француз, Pradel десь 60-70 вони такі хрести тоже ставили.
Дякую! Прогуглив, так, мабуть Pradel) Знайшов схожі в старих каталогах і подумав, що швейцарець)
Wow! The knife started as a something that had seen better days, but it really turned out nice!
Excellent restoration.
Awesome restoration ! Thanks for the show. But I don't think it's a genuine swiss army knife though, not even a swiss knife : it has no stamp on the tang. It's rather a french (or german ?) knife, produced in one of these countless semi-industrial workshops in Thiers (likely) or maybe Solingen. These 50's, 60's multiblades are decent alternatives to swiss pocket knives. I have a few of them as urban EDCs. I like the choice they offer on their scales : metal, wood, horn, pearl... Name it and you can find a knife to match your shirt, your style.
Thank you! I was wrong. This is a Pradel French knife
Outstanding job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve done this, but not with the skill and attention to detail you have shown. I can appreciate the effort. Nice work.
Great restoration 😃👍 Congratulations and greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪🖐️
Excellent restoration job. You may have even finished it to better than new condition. I say that because I don't remember them being so well polished back in the day.
You are a genuine master of restoration! The knife is a real beauty.
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible work by the King of Restoration!!!!! What an exhibition of requisite skills to resuscitate an old implement!! Outstanding work sir!!!!
Very, very good !!! < Brazil >
Thanks!
First class job. Thank you !
Браво! Отличная работа! Подарил вторую жизнь ножу!
Well done! I envy you having such a wonderful keepsake such as this knife.
Дуже гарний став ножичок,як новенький!Вітаю!
Дякую!
Очень крутая работа👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful restoration and very glad you was able to refurbish the scales for it!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up for you
Bonito trabajo. Es francesa, una Pradel genérica seguramente.
Gracias por la info ✌🏾 sin duda un gran trabajo
Thank you! I was wrong
Great job, the scales are beautiful !
Thanks!
That is a thing of beauty ! Marvellous workmanship.
Looks great, nice job.😊😊😊
Золотые у вас руки . Очень хорошая работа .
Beautiful piece
Awesome work as always! You might check and see if there's enough of a point on the corkscrew though.
I do also have a swiss knife, but it doesn't need restoration, intreat it well)) this restoration made me feel like I also have this one)) it's shining now
Beautiful knife,restored with care. Good skills.
Victorinox!!! Nicely done, I have done a few//Lars
Файний ножик
Хоча, якщо чесно, реставрація ножів вже трішки надоїла, треба щось більш екзотичного )
Роблю, щось інше - мало переглядів(
I have to comment on the mad skills of grinding and peening the rivets without taping the knife first. My clumsy fingers would have scratched the scales up bad. Well done!
Супер 👍🦾💪 очень классный получился 👍👏💪🦾😍
Looks great!!!
Have a similar knife, the style of the tools is exactly the same, the only differences are my scales are white and it has the name brand stamped on the blade, Pradel which was a French company.
Невже, це Вікс?З іншими накладками було б не то, за збережений вид, особлива дяка, робота на 5 балів!!!
Скорее всего это Венгер
Це не швейцарець, це Pradel француз десь 70 тих, вони тоді теж такі хрестики на накладках робили.
@@user-mf2js2un6u Дякую за інфу, ніколи б не подумав на французів...
Well done! Nice to see an old knife brought back to life, love the scales 😃
Слава Україні.Дуже гарна реставрація,ножик після реставрації як новенький, успіхів вам і гарних знахідок на реставрацію .Смерть російським акупантам.📹👍💪🤝🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Дякую! Героям слава!
Could be nickel plated. In any case, good work.
Looks great , top marks.
Thank you!
Nice knife, but certainly not a swiss ARMY knife, none of them have a corkscrew, never in swiss army knife history
They weren't that color either, and the tools were all stainless steel (aka 'rostfrei'' in Swiss)
Beautiful
I watched a documentary about the manufacturing of Swiss Army knife's a few years back,mainly looking at one of those multi knives with 70 odd attachments and how they make all the components. Someone sent them a knife that had belonged to his great grandfather,a model from about 1908 that was very well used. Apparently when they say a lifetime guarantee they mean it. They refurbished the knife free of charge and sent it back.
That is only if the knife size in question is still in production so they have spare parts for in. Usually they just send you a new one if they have it because that is much cheaper for them.
I thought "lifetime" would mean the life time of the original owner. So 1908 knife might not be under warranty anymore.
@@vzaliva Its about the product not the person.
@@RiderOftheNorth1968 You can ask them not to. I've sent a few knives in Canada and I said one was from my father. They repaired it and sent me the old parts. I also sent them two knives with an unaligned corkscrew and they changed it on the rare knife and gave me a new one for the ordinary knife. That said I asked them for spare part for the Sportratchet and they said they couldn't since it is not in production anymore.
NICE...JUST LIKE NEW!!!
Thanks!
Beau boulot , je ne m'en lasse pas .
C'est tellement plaisant de voir travailler un bon artisan.
Sacrebleu!

Thank you! I was wrong
Good job bro.
Das Messer ist ein Traum geworden!
Really nice work
Joli !!
Нож интересный
That logo (cross) on the scale looks wonky. Have the scales and complications been ID'd with a model number yet?
👍👍👍
Italiano: La bravura per questa restaurazione, non consiste tanto nel ripulire il coltello e farlo tornare nuovo, ma riuscire a fare un lavoro di questo tipo....... Con i guanti!!!! io non li uso neppure quando lavoro con le spine, non sono capace.. 😃😉
Where did you get the corkscrew from? Too bad it's not a real Swiss Army knife because it sure is good looking!
Хоршая работа!
Гарно)
Nice work. Except I was always told not to open two blades at once on the same spring. You might break the spring that way. But what do I know?
Thank you! I didn't know that...
Дякую друже. Дуже добре зроблено, як завжди вподобайка. У мене дочка , онука и зять в Днепре живуть, було дуже важко сегодні. Слава Україні!!! Слава ЗСУ!!!
Дякую за перегляд! Нехай бережуть себе, ворог звіріє…
Зачёт! Класс!
