Back in the days, 25/30 years ago, when we still had mandatory army service (≈ 1 year after high school), we all got one of those to our gear, exactly that kind. Great channel 🙂
The 3 crowns on the sheet, is the Swedish Army stamp of approval, yet its the basic kit knife. Later on if you had signed up for trench foot and really loved eating mosqitoes cause you watched too many rambo movies you recived A1 fällkniven a much larger pice.
You were lucky to have been issued such knives in the Swedish army. In the 1970s and 80s, we were issued with either R1 or R4 assault rifles and handed them back after two years’ conscription. My nephew in the Swiss Army got a knife and a rifle and kept them after one year of service.
@@niclasedelsten6428 yes, i really know ferro rods.. thats most stupid equipment nowadays. Who is so stupid, at get his lighter wet?🤦♂️🤦♂️ There is ways protect lighter against moisture. Its more easy protect lighter, than make fire with ferrorod. Most ankward thing in youtube videos is that ferrorod fire starting. All tubers do that on every videos🤦♂️🤦♂️ no one want see that all the time🤦♂️
We have several of these in our summer house. I've always looked at them as being old memories, but basically junk. But this has inspired me to see that they could be given a new life.
In 1972 i saved money to get my very first Morakniv, the handle was made of green plastic and it was very cool back then . Later in life when you bought around of 50 meters of 2 by 4 they throw a Morakniv in for free.
Quality is not that good though. These are knifes bought by construction workers, used for a short time and then disgarded. They are nice when knew for as long as it lasts
@@philiplaurell1163they make the knives for different applications. The newer knives with plastic grips are made for the construction worker market. They are cheap, but made from high quality tool steel. They are edge-hardened and will retain an edge for longer, but are difficult to re-sharpen. Older knives with wooden grips are usually of a different steel quality than the plastic ones and are easier to sharpen. You can even find Mora knives with laminated steel. They've made dozens of models over the years and made changes both in terms of materials and also visual design changes. It is sometimes hard to say what type of steel is used in specific models, just from looking at the handle and sheath, but the old ones are always worth a closer look because some of them are superb quality blades.
I have this memory that this was from the mid to late 1980s based on the plastic sheath. The belt loop would break within the year and people hated the plastic design of the sheath as it made the knife feel cheap.
I couldn't begin to tell you the year in which that particular knife was made but I give you a 10/10 on the knife restoration. The one thing I didn't understand about the sheath was why didn't you heat it up to make the belt holes flat, or was that the way it was made? I'm not a knife or restoration expert so I have to ask.
The belt slots on this model of sheath were flat from the factory, but they were a bad design and you needed to pry them apart real hard in order to thread them on a leather belt. The belt loop used to be a separate piece made from leather or pvc and riveted to the sheath. These were much softer. Later models were re-designed so that the middle piece was offset from the others, making room for a thicker belt. Most workers would not carry the knife on a belt though but hang the knife from a button on their overalls, either on the bib, by the hip or on the thigh. Hanging the knife from the belt is pretty awkward when you sit in a car or on a chair. It's also in the way if you want to use a tool belt or if you work outside and wear a jacket. So most guys actually carry the knife on the thigh pocket next to the folding ruler. Swedish work clothes usually come with these dedicated knife buttons so you can choose wich way you want to carry your knife. You can see the top of the slot has a wider hole to go around a button.
Этот нож ещё до реставрации был в хорошем состоянии! Не сильно повреждён корозией! Поэтому мастеру не составило большого труда довести его до идеального состояния! Мне понравилась ваша работа
Awaome! Good as new! :) Too bad you weren't able to keep the engraving. 90% of stuff made nowadays is not made to be able to be fixed/restored... A shame.... :/ May I ask how do you come across so many of this knives? 🙏💪
AWESOME RSTORE/REFINISH JOB.Crazy I have the exact set up in a E.Jonsson,funy thing my scabbard belt loop is broken as well ;] .My scabbard seems to be a molded over leather plastic coating,I've not seen this before.
Amazing work on that very rusted Mora. I hope to discover on in the future. I would rate that a 10. E veryone of those I have seen has that broken section on the sheath's belt loop.
чудовий ніж. Маю такий у користуванні багато років. Не знаю яким чином - але ніж довго тримає заточку, хоч сталь загартована не на високу твердість. Також зменшив підпальцевий упор, щоб поліція не причепилася за ХЗ
Very nice, I give it a solid 8. Have you considered nickel plating the small parts? A new sheath would have made it a 9.5. I have Mora knives and I always throw the plastic sheaths away and make a nice one.
Great outcome! If it had heen me, I would have treated the handle, and soaked the interior with linseed oil. But then I would have needed to solve the coloring…

Kids today would be better off if military service was still mandatory

Swedish Army standard knife is Mora 2000

@@petter5721 It is now. But back in the day when conscription was mandatory this is what we had. And it's not a bad knife.
Gotta give it a 9. If you engraved the made in Sweden back on the blade then it would be a 10
Mora makes great knives. Awesome restoration. They have made the Classic number 2 for over a century.
That turned out better than new. I’m giving it a 10 plus! Awesome results. I’d be proud to own that any time!
Found my grandfathers old well used mora knife, must be 50 years old.
I have restored it and use it often now.
Wonderful piece of quality!
Sorry but the quality of a morakniv is absolutely worthless.
And why for hell do you remove the mora lettering ? That was the best part of a restoration, mate you make me crazy 😅😊😊😊
also why wreck the 90-degree factory back of the blade, which is needed for firestarting?
Firestarting?? There is lighters nowadays😂😂😂
@@JanihonkalaxxxFerro Rod = Eldstål.
It makes sparks when scratched with an sharp edge, even if wet.
So what do you do when your lighter is wet?

I’ll never unsubscribe - fellow knife enthusiast/ collector/ lover etc 😅 👏 Thanks 🙏
A solid 10.
The sound quality on this video is truly immersive!

Usually I like patina but in this case making it look better then new was the way to go. 10 out of 10!
10/10. Now I want a restored Mora knife
Amazing. Looks like brand new🤘🤘🤘. My dad had exactly the same knife. Had been amazing to make it shine again.
In 1972 i saved money to get my very first Morakniv, the handle was made of green plastic and it was very cool back then .

I love my Moras, best knives I ever own. Feel good in the hand, size is baby bear just right. Sharp. Just great knives.
Who throws away the star when restoring a Mercedes?
Hello, super resto project. You did a great job. And never turned it into something its not. Super good value knives.👍
Beautiful, easy 10/10. Love that model!
Красивый нож, и разбирать удобно. Вещь! 10/10
Wonderfully done! You definitely have an affection for Mora knives.
Mora is my favorite knife. Sharp as a razor, light and has many options all at a great price.

I'm going to give you a 9/10 for that Rextoration. That's very close to the best I've ever seen. Looks like new. 😎
Good work. This knife is looking better now. When this knife was new from a general store.
A beautiful restoration. 9+. You erased the stamp on the right side though.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhmazing!! I know that hand sanding takes forever,,,,,,done a few in my time!! Good job!!!
Another amazing restoration, I believe that knife looks better than it did when it was new! Great job!!
Awaome! Good as new! :)
Too bad you weren't able to keep the engraving.
90% of stuff made nowadays is not made to be able to be fixed/restored... A shame.... :/
May I ask how do you come across so many of this knives?
🙏💪
Beautiful knife Beautiful restoration good job well done
Amazing Restoration 👍🏻👍🏽👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Very nice work once again a definite 10 !! The shine is amazing it looks and cuts fantastic!!!
Its always awesome to see a master at its craft, amazing video, enjoyed it throughly!!!
10/10 probably sharper than a New one.Great job👍
As always, another awesome restoration, keep bringing new life into old items bro 👍👍
Only down fall is nobody's going to know if it was a Frost knife you sanded of the maker's mark😮
AWESOME RSTORE/REFINISH JOB.Crazy I have the exact set up in a E.Jonsson,funy thing my scabbard belt loop is broken as well ;] .My scabbard seems to be a molded over leather plastic coating,I've not seen this before.
I rate it 9.9, the sheath repair is as good as it can get, but a new sheath would be better.
I'll give you an 11. The extra point is for fixing the belt loop on the sheath. I didn't think that was possible.
Lovely restoration!
Unbelievable. Great workmanship.👌
Sanding off the makers mark😮 restored😂
Beautiful video! 10/10 if you had kept the lettering :)
the ones we had in the airforce 1980 had a wooden handle and no finger guard and a very carbon steel blade.
Excellent job as usual!
Well done! Personally I would've kept the Mora-lettering. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing work on that very rusted Mora. I hope to discover on in the future. I would rate that a 10. E veryone of those I have seen has that broken section on the sheath's belt loop.
9 out of 10, all the engraving needs to be restored to!
A 10 from me. A lovely restoration.
Well done
10 for sure , I enjoy watching your channel !
trade mark at the blade desapear, but ok, nice restoration.
чудовий ніж. Маю такий у користуванні багато років. Не знаю яким чином - але ніж довго тримає заточку, хоч сталь загартована не на високу твердість. Також зменшив підпальцевий упор, щоб поліція не причепилася за ХЗ
Але ці моделі і зараз продаються. Здається, по товщині клинка по ХЗ не проходить
Very nice, I give it a solid 8. Have you considered nickel plating the small parts? A new sheath would have made it a 9.5. I have Mora knives and I always throw the plastic sheaths away and make a nice one.
Love mora knifes
great work 10/10 , love me a mora got more than a few
10/10. Hello from France 🇨🇵
10 out of 10. Great restoration. You definitely are very skilled at this.
Such a great restoration.
11 just nice and elegance 🇻🇪👍🏻💯👏
Looks like brand new, so here's an 11 for ya!
Beautiful work!
Beautiful work, have you ever tried sending videos like this to Mora and asking if they'd be willing to re-stamp the trademark back onto the blade?
Thank you! No, I didn't try
Супер,я в захваті...10!
That’s a 12! 👍😎👍
Only thing I can complain about is the glossy handle, the were matt. but a great job. 👍
Great restoration bro.... 10/10
Amazing! Rating 10.
10. Excellent job 👏🏻
Great outcome! If it had heen me, I would have treated the handle, and soaked the interior with linseed oil. But then I would have needed to solve the coloring…
Laminated carbon steel perfection!
Mantab sekali bos...kelihatan bagus sekali...
Gut gemacht 9,5/10😊
Nice work!
Great job 10/10 👏🏻👏🏻
9/10 great video!
Everyone that is not a fan of cleaning has one of these in some toolbox in Sweden
Nice
Flat out 10! 👍
as a restoration that is a 10/10, but personally I would have just oiled the wood instead of painting it. very good content
The finger guard, the red handle and the sheath together with the Frosts blade indicates that this knife is from around 1970 or later.
good job man.
Very nice, 👍
10. Great job.
Amazing!
9/10 Points. If you had stained the handle it would’ve been 10.
Eugen, du hast ein echtes Talent!!! 👏👏👏 🇺🇦👍👍👍
10 for job well done.
This is a 10/10
Крута робота! 12 балів!🙂👍
Nice!
Restaurada faca 🔪😉
Definitely 10
When I was a boy scout it was a sport to try sharpen the Mora to razor sharp, I never made it.
Amazing 10 points
I’ve seen you say it takes 10 plus hours to sand some of these things you restore, how many days all together does a restoration take?
WOW 😃😃💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I give you a 9 because 10 is perfect. It’s very hard to make something perfect.🇺🇸👍🤪
Thanks)
