While the type of knife you refurbished isn't to my style of knifes, I have to say you did a remarkable job of rebuilding it. It looks great and seems to work like new. I do like the wood scales way better than the cheap plastic. And I do like making and refurbishing knifes as well. I just never wanted a switch blade knife. Thumbs Up!
Your restorations never disappoint. For that reason, I'm not going to give you a 10. Instead, I'll give you an 11. ANY repairer would simply restore the plastic shell, but you replaced it with wood, and oak at that. There's something about wood that adds a touch of class to it.
10!!!!! I love the wood! I keep thinking I’m going to see everything and be done watching but I find myself checking off and on to see if another video has dropped and even going back and watching your old stuff.
Beautiful....just Beautiful and certainly a 10 . I love the wood and yes so much better than plastic . I always wanted a Stileto like this when I was young. My dad would not let me have one .Looking back I understand I was to young . Great work as always!! 👍👍
However, it's not a stiletto. A stiletto is a late 15th century thrusting dagger with a slender, fixed blade that has a triangular or square cross-section. This kind of knife is called a "coltello a scatto" in Italian.
20 outa 10 You Are an Excellent Craftsman & a Real Buzz for Me it's Just Like The Ones We Had as Teenagers They were Thick on The Ground in the 70s & 80s Now, They Are Illegal in my country Like All The Fun Things. Wood is Much Better Look Thank You for The Memory
I own a stiletto type knife, also a switchblade comb 😆. They're a cool knife. It was interesting to see how the mechanisms work in this knife. The scales look a bit thick, but as long as its comfortable, that's all that matters. I look forward to looking at some more of your videos. ✨️🗡✨️👍

bro, don't keep flicking the blade out, either leave it open or leave it closed, multiple openings in a row will snap your spring, i've carried a micov switch for the past 15 years, and the reason the springs have lasted, is because i never let people play with it, it stays closed in my pocket, and i only open it when i use it, and i use it at least once a day.
@@jasonsumpter1197 yes, i know that mikov is not an antique, and neither is the switchblade in this video, it's chinese, if you look closely at the locking tab that the swivel bolster pushes against, you will probably see a twist in the spine at the locking piece end, because it was stamped , then heated, then twisted 90 degrees, italian knives are a lot more nicely done, its hard to spot any flaws on an beltrame or akc knife, in saying all this, any switch blade knives are rare in my country, and worth a pretty penny to collectors, and it could be from the 80's, also the feel is different when comparing a chinese knife to an italian or any other european made knife, i used to own one of these italian styled switchblades, the novelty wore off after replacing the spring 4 times
i used to own one of these, the first thing i did was to pull it apart and replace the shitty plastic scales with blond buffalo horn, the second thing i did was make replacement springs, because the springs on that particular model are replaceable by pushing out the pin near the rear bolster, roadside imports used to sell them, they are made in china
I just learned about this not to long ago. My 2nd amendment rights protect my beloved sword collection ⚔♥. Unfortunately, it also protects all the gun nuts as well 😅. I hope you'll be able to legally own all the blades you want someday.
I apologize if this question has already been answered, but where to you find replacement pin material? Inspired by this video, I took apart an 11" stiletto of dubious make (Rostfrei?) and after grinding the pin heads, they're not long enough to reuse. To respond to a few comments, I've been carrying an auto pocket knife (non-stiletto) for years and find it invaluable when one hand is full and I need to open the knife without putting what I'm holding down for any reason. As I said, this video inspired me. My compliments and thanks.
8. The scales are a little thick but overall a pretty nice job. I would like to have mine fixed. The blade is hard to get to stay closed. But it is from the 60's
I’ve never liked the that style of stiletto, I guess everyone I’ve seen looks cheap with cheap parts. But I do have one that I use for a letter opener.😮🇺🇸👍
10 on the restoration all day long. I especially love the wooden handles it gives more of a vintage look. 👍🏽
Better than a 10, the wood handles put it up in the high
end category!!!
Nice work. Especially with the basic tools you use.
great work - wooden scales indeed look better than plasticfantastic!
I rate it as a 10. I would buy that if I saw it in a shop. That would be an excellent piece in my collection.
10 for sure
Gorgeous wooden scales! 🔟

I love them as I collect knives. And in the UK, they are illegal. I have no use for one, though. But just to have one would be good. Nice work 😊

Looking at the measurements and only the text “stainless “ on the blade, I have exactly that knife. Got it as a kid.

A Mikov isn't an antique and a replacement spring on an antique doesn't need to be as strong as the spring on a Mikov.

Would love to own a knife like this. But here in Great Britain there are strict knife laws.
Great resto though. 10/10

Your quality is never less than 10 to this ametur. How long does a restoration take you, I wonder?
Good job! Where was that knife from?

I personally think it’s a 10. Big handles-scales for big hands…👍🏻

10. Beautiful. Great job!

Good work but if You insist on using thick scales You should taper the ends into the bolsters and round off the side edges a bit…👌🏻👏🏻💯🙂
