Hello everyone!
This old knife restoration was definitely a fun and easy restoration with my new vice. Funny thing is that I got it in the middle of the video. Hey, better ever than never, right 😊
Stay safe and see you next Monday 😊
Boris, Norway
Nice.. Mora knife. Made in Sweden.. :D ha de fint Timmy, Sweden
Hei Timmy!
Takk det samme 😊👍
@@FFD_Restorations I've got the 125th anniversary edition of this knife it's not nearly as impressive as this older model. It's really boring. And the handle stains very easy just in moderate use. I've cleaned and sanded it multiple times.
@@mercuryrising9174 handles need to be sealed/treated. Bare wood ofc stains
@@FFD_Restorations эх
Nice to see old knifes saved. I.m born and raised in Mora and i had practise on one of the knife factorys a short while. Based on that logo on the knife it should be from around 1930-1950. Good job.
Wow, that is amazing to hear, thank you so much for info! I appreciate that very much! Beste hilsener fra Norge
Wonderful restoration. I didn't realize until the end of the video that it was an old Morakniv. I have to get that vise! 👍 Also I very much appreciate that you preserve every piece on the restoration that you can, that is the true mark of a faithful restorer of antiquities and relics.
Cool, thank you so much Brian! I try my best, thanks for noticing that 😊👍
Of all the repair or restoration videos I’ve seen, I believe this is the first craftsman I’ve found who’s been willing to take the time to clean up and repair the handle on the piece being revived. I’m very pleased to have discovered your work. Many thanks!
It’s been a while since I’ve had time to just sit down and watch one of your amazing videos it’s been much needed. Phenomenal work Boris keep it up hope you and the family are doing good.
Hey Robert!
Thank you so much my man! It is a pleasure hearing from you 😊
We are all good, thanks. Hope you and your closest are well.
Stay safe 👊😊
FFD Restorations thanks all is well just trying to stay busy and stay sane 🤙
Kudos for keeping the handle. Most youtube restoration channels would have tossed it.
😃👍
Not ''My Mechanics'' . He would have done a much better job.
@@manuelaffonso2191 by hand or with machines?
@@FFD_Restorations probably with a lathe. Offset mounted to get the curvature right. I have respect for both versions. In your case, the end product justifies your decision.
Nice work, old knives deserve respect, 👍
Вот это настоящая реставрация!!! 👍Огромная благодарность мастеру за то, что сохранил все оригинальные детали предмета. Смотрел и душа радовалась. Здоровья и благополучия Вам. С уважением.👋👋👋👌👌👌🙌
Большое спасибо, мой хороший друг 😃👍
Отличная работа, золотые руки. 👍👍👍
😃👍
@@FFD_Restorations Какая историческая ценность ножа?
Every new video, a new gem, I really enjoy these restorations very much.
Thanks Boris
Wow, that is so nice to hear Nesdel! You are welcome 😊👍
Mora's are excellent knives , I have 2 of them. My first was the Wilderness model which I bought for 13 dollars from Smoky Mountain Knife Works. The 2nd one I bought from the same place and it was a blade blank of which I think is the same blade as the Clipper. I put a cedar wood handle on it and I made a leather sheath for it. Now I carry it as part of my EDC.
Awesome, thanks for sharing 👍
Old knife someone wouldn't want. Turned into a knife everyone one would want. Great job well done.
Thank you very much sir?
I'm glad you kept the old handle. There's history there that shouldn't always be tossed aside. Nice job!
Thanks Isaac, I couldn't agree more 👍
I always save the wood if possiable
Nice,nice,realy nice.
¡Que madera difícil para lograrle una terminación más vistosa! De todas formas se nota que ha cumplido perfectamente con su función y lo seguirá haciendo. Muy interesante.
Well done man! I wish I could find so many beautiful old knives like you do!
Thanks Grant! I am chasing them all the time. I have a pile of old knives now and for at least one year shooting material ... which is nice. I don't have to stress too much about finding a good candidate for a video :)
Cheers
This is the FIRST honest to god full restoration I have seen that I can sware to...❤👍 keep up your good work...👌
Wow, thank you!
Nice work, I also liked that you used classic locksmith tools, especially the file and no electrical aids.
Thank you for sharing such an challenging restoration ... didn't think it would be anywhere close to the beautiful results you achieved ... Wow amazing
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Вот это действительно реставрация. Сохранены все детали ножа, никакого новодела. Хорошая работа, особенно ручной круг полировальный позабавил.
🤗
Awesome! Thanks for restoring the wood handle as well- most of other UA-camrs just replace it and kill the history with it. You coul have split the crack completely, clean the split area and glued it together first (I would use bone glue mix with some rabbit skin glue) to avoid using the 2K fix. If you prefer the used look fantastic (I do) but you can refresh wheathered wood too.
Love your work!
That is a great suggestion, thank you so much Tomtom. I am so happy to read comments like this and learn. Thank you for sharing!
New vise is sooooo freaking cool. And I agree with your decision to resand and change oil. Looked lots better. Another great video and restoration ❤️
Hell yeah, my favorite 👍
Awesome! Super happy to hear that, thank you so much Latessa 💚
FFD Restorations if you uploaded everyday I would watch them all 🤣 I love your work and I support you all I can.
Привет мастер Борис👋👋👋 как обычно радуешь новым видео👌🏽 хороший нож и хорошая реставрация , на этой неделе буду отправлять тебе посылку🤝✌🏻🇷🇺
Привет легенда 👋👋👋
Спасибо вам большое 😆👍! Не беспокойтесь, все хорошо 🤝!
3 cheers for the hand-cranked grinding wheel, and where most people throw the handle away, you kept it, and that was a good move.
As close to original as it gets.
Thank you very much Lug!
Great job man I personally would have just made a new handle but I love the fact that you even though there was a huge crack you were actually able to repurpose the original handle and I love the new bench vise I would love to see if you could find a self turning screwdriver to restore
Thanks 👍 I try to save every piece that I can. This handle is at least 60 years old, so it would be shame to throw it away...
I really do appreciate watching!
@@FFD_Restorations no problem man keep making great videos LOL
🙂👍
Adoro guardare gli artigiani del restauro di oggetti antichi, ci vuole tempo, pazienza e amore, ho la stessa passione. ❤️ Grazie. 🙏🏼
🤗
Impressive that you were able to salvage that old wood handle. Very nicely done!
Thank you sir, much appreciated 👍
Love seeing the old Mora restorations. I am MagnetMan and I have found lots of them in the water in Sweden. I'd love to restore mine but don't have the tools and skill you have. Keep up the good work and I will continue to learn so maybe one day I can restore the many I have collected magnet fishing in Sweden 😁
That is awesome, thank you very much! Hey, do you sell some of them? I am always looking for challenge to restore by hand 😃
@@FFD_Restorations where are you based? I am in Sweden 🇸🇪 obviously.
Norway ☺️
You gave that old Mora a 2nd life very nice job on the restoration. I believe it’s a Mora #1, I own several when I go to the woods I wear a Mora 1or 2 around my neck Mors Kochanski style.
Very cool! Thanks 👍
I have a knife similar to this the handle I believe to be blaze orange 🍊 very good skinning knife for hunting...😏
this is better then 99% of other youtube so-called restaurations! With exception of possibly to much material loss of the knife-blade, the other channels should follow You.
Thank you sir!
Excellent work! One of the few that did care to save the wood. This gives an extra quality touch! Perfect! Also the care of saving the original markings is correct! Great job!!!
Many thanks, I appreciate your kind words and of course watching!
Take care
You are exactly restoring the whole knife, not just the idea of a knife. Great loyalty!
😊👍
Благодарю за ваш труд! Очень приятные и интересные видео))
Огромное спасибо!
Very nice work and a great end result! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much Ken!
Реставрация, это когда старую ручку в эпоксидной смоле пропитал, и так и оставил👍👍👍👍👍.
👍
As always mate, it's AWESOME!!! Ihave one advice if you don't mind : with the next wooden handle, you can use the dust after sanding with white glue. It will be strong enough! See you soon!!
Much appreciated mate 😉
Thanks for the tip! Always happy to hear and learn something new!
Actually I have stopped using wood glue (white glue, I hope we think the same) because if it comes often with water and such it wears off. I am not talking one or two times, it takes some time to wear off but it is not long lasting. At least from my experience...
Take care mate!
Good work! I like that you didn't use electric tools and that you keep the old handle.
Thanks a lot 👍
Magnifico trabajo como siempre Boris !!! Saludos 💪💪🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
Gracias Jorge!

Another nice one! Am standing by for your next one.
Awesome, thank you Mike!
Un super Mora classic 👍👍👍
☺️👍
Well done!
Mora knife is a good one. especially such old.
Great job. Would love to see you make a nice leather sheith for it too
Coming soon! Before end of this year I will start making some leather sheaths...
Thank you for watching!
Dude thanks it's the real restoration,not like 90% of scam here on youtube, a little tip: drill a tiny hole on the end of the crack before you do anything else. And one more,back in a days they didn't use a fancy wood on these handles so they painted them, mostly black, sometimes green,paintjib was good with primer and all
☺️👍
@@FFD_Restorations Я только что посмотрел у вас про нож белку ,и по молотку догадался что вы говорите по русски ))) у нас в америке так не делают рукоятки )))
Very nice Mora knife. Good job! 👍
Thanks Mario 🙂👍
Good old Swedish Mora,three sizes of them,this is midlle one.A carbide core
was implanted in the blade,so sharpening needs extra care,with correct angles.
Sheath was made of black plastic with a leather belt loop.Handle is always
painted in burgundy.Back in a day,or even today,its a good puukko.
☺️👍
Bien hecho hermano 👏💪
Very nice work! Nice job keeping as much of the original resources as possible👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Clear epoxy looks great on handles to bro, and it polishes put nice, i sometimes thread tip of tang and put small brass nut on them... great job on knife. Awesome vid!
У моего прадеда точно такой же был, почти новый, в предбаннике валялся, им веревки подрезали и ветки у веников. Последний раз его видел ровно 20 лет назад.
And you did it again another beautiful mora.
Wish I can give two thumbs up
Oh wait actually I can👍👍
BTW I like your new vise
Sweet! Thank you so much Richard 😀👍
Cool 😉
Fantastic job ! That blade came up great, you did a sterling job on it.
The minute i saw you use that hand turn wire wheel and polisher I subscribed. 👌
Greetings from England.
Much appreciated, thank you kindly!
Oh and great job. Beautiful knife
Thank you sir!
Una restauración PERFECTA Feliz Ano Nuevo. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia

El cuchillo quedó realmente hermoso me gusta mucho tu canal ya que haces todo a mano sin ocupar herramientas eléctricas pero tengo una duda que liquido ocupaste para limpiar el óxido de la hoja del cuchillo y que materiales mesclaste con el polvo de la madera saludos
Muchas gracias 👍
7% de vinagre blanco...

I have 2 Mora knives as my wife comes from that part of Sweden, they carve like a dream!
Awesome, thanks for sharing 👍
ЗдОрово, что детали все остались! Ножу подарена вторая жизнь!
А в какой жидкости изначально отмокал клинок, в прозрачной колбе?
☺️👍
белый уксус

Hey Latessa 👋😊
Thank you, I could't make it without best fans like you 😉
Your wishes are highly appreciated 😄
Knife came out great. You kept the original handle. I wonder if the handle could be sanded, oiled and polished, even better to show the actual grain pattern instead of what appears to be dirt or soil.
Thanks, probably yes 👍
Nice job on restoring the old Mora
Many thanks 👍
Moras are great knives with really excellent steel.
👍
Another great job!
I appreciate that John!
Борис, добрый день. Вопрос по реставрации: Я так понял, что лезвие Вы опять отмачивали в уксусе. С этим всё ясно. Но, на мой взгляд, имело смысл остановить реакцию при помощи раствора соды, а этого я не увидел. Почему так? Даже мельчайшие остатки кислоты продолжают разъедать металл уходя в каверны.
Привет Владимир
Да, ты прав. Если потом не перемолоть, то надо замачивать после уксуса. Но затем я шлифую и удаляю большую часть металла, включая все места, где могут быть остатки уксуса.
Thank you for the video. A meticulous effort on hopefully a good old knife. My thought is this; first thing I would sharpen the knife to see if would hold a good edge no matter what the provinence, then put the effort in a known quantity. I spent a lot of time on a similar knife and feel I wasted a lot of time, but it's ok if you don't need a keen edge. Best of luck anyway!
Hey Frank! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience. Definitely is wise to do as you suggested!
Stay safe!
@@FFD_Restorations I had to go dig mine out; it appears identical to the one you restored, probably a more recent Mora with traces of red paint still on the handle but either it wasn't stamped or the stamping is rusted out. I had to do a lot of work on to get to smooth metal as it was in my woodshed in Nova Scotia for perhaps fifty years and the climate did its damage. I can put an edge on it enough to cut paper but it won't last. It's a good all purpose knife for someone who doesn't mind if it's a little dull. A lot better than no knife.I also found, stuck in a floor joist in my house, a similar knife with the same style handle and ferrule, with peened washer holding handle on but the blade is just over an inch and much thinner; probably used for wood carving, and it holds a remarkable edge so it's in my wood carving kit...lol. Thanks again for the video; good ideas and you're onto a good product with the Teak Oil. I use it a lot, and like the finish.
Awesome, it sounds like you did an amazing work on that one. I know how hard is to get the shiny blade that still have enough strength to be used. Those knives are really simple in design but great for many occasions. Thanks again for sharing your story here and that you are willing to restore things, not just to throw them away. That is for respect 😊👍
Take care Frank
Ein wirklich schönes und lehrreiches Video. Perfekt gemacht. Respekt!

Very nice job. I love old things, from vehicles to tools to furniture to kitchen implements. I fix everything till it wears completely out. Good job

Obrigado!
Eu comprei isso ...
Отличная работа! 👍
А где можно приобрести такой гриндер?
🤝👋😄👍

Hi, this is a very nice video, thank you. I do have a question: do you think this knife looked as nice when it was sold for the first time?
Thank you so much! yes I definitely think so even though it was produced in huge numbers at the time.
I see the blade was made by Mora. That is definitely worth a restauration.
😊👍
О, это же старая Мора, круто.
👍
*Another option is to screw in a brass washer on the end of the handle, but in general, everything is beautiful and wonderful!*
Thanks for the feedback and watching 👍
Holy Moley! An old Mora knife and it doesnt have a Scandi grind on it! How old is it? Great job too. You kept the handle and I love the basic look of it. A tool that performs and looks good.
Thank you! Around 1950's 😉
You kept the wood! Nice job!
Thanks 👍

Im glad you kept the handle looks really good well done
Thank you kindly!
I love that you saved the wood handle, I would have rather you tried gluing the handle and drawing it in as much as possible. Great job!!
Thanks for the tip and watching 👍
So excellent job restoring the mora knife!
I'm wondering how much to purchase it? Do you have a sales page?
No, sorry. Thanks for asking
amazing job on the knife dude😀
Much appreciated 👍
Very nice work. On this model I would have put the classic red on the shaft.
Cool, thanks
I like Mora knives. Nice job👍
☺️👍
Broken handle and it was still a pain to get it off. Really well made knife, only if it was taken care of over the years. Nice that some one takes the time to give it longer life.
I agree, also pretty happy that I could save it 👍
На это вечно можно смотреть👍👍👍
😃👍
I would like to ask
Why aren't you making new handles?
and where do you find all these old things?
Sure!
Usually do, but for this one I decided to keep. It is quite an old knife...
I am finding them on local websites for ads...
