Beautiful work! I would ask you leave up your comments for just a touch longer though, as it can be hard to read them so quickly.
More of a refresh than a restore, but still cool. Sometimes, old things need to retain their character. Thumbs up!
I loved this restore. Thank you for taking it in your care. When you began on the sheath, I loved how you said, 'it needs some love.' And you loved it! Taking it apart, cleaning it and re-sewing the seams! A treasure, for sure, in my book. Wouldn't you love to know the history of this relic? I would. ❤
04:43 "I think *this sheath was originally made for the trench knife* 🔪 before it was broken and then repaired..."
05:51 " *Cold bluing* will help *protecting the pits from rusting further* and also, *strengthening the aged look of the knife's blade* ...🔪"
06:06 "There's *something that's engraved on the knife's blade* 🔪 that *I can only now really see* here...👀"
Saddle soap is used for cleaning hence the word "soap" .
Take your leather and brush dirt off.
Take saddle soap with a brush , rag , some kind off applicator and wet it. Then using tight circles in the saddle soap tin create soapy suds and work into leather.
Allow to dry and brush again.
Use leather conditioner and or a wax based protectant ie. Obenauf's is the best.
Saddle soap is not a treatment nor a conditioner.

I’m sure your customer is so impressive again!
See ya next marvelous maker!! 👍
Did I miss the part where he made a knife or made leather? He did neither of those things.
An Impressive Knife and a lovingly Restoration👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Well done !
The shield to protect the hand is on the wrong way. The longer part is supposed to go towards the hand and the shorter piece towatds the thumb (blade side).
The handle discs are usually leather. Compressed by the nut on the ernd and then sanded down to shape.
Worth the effort. Looks to be a good blade for a butcher or hunter. I wonder if it gets use in the kitchen or other. Splendid utility ware.
That repair of the tang is a repair that happened in the field. I have found a few like this myself and have asked around. Repairs like this were commonly made because getting a new replacement was not always an option and every soldier needed to have a knife of some sort at all times. Having a knife or not was a matter of living or dying in most cases so they repaired them if they could not get a replacement. Really wish you had left this one alone. More historic significance in its as was state than in its restored state
Fantastic restoration on this rusty WW2 trench knife. Wow! You are a true Craftsman/Artist. Your talent is amazing. Thanks for sharing this video. I'm sure that the owner is going love it.
I'm looking forward to seeing your next one.
Stay safe and stay healthy
Nice looking rebuild.
Wow this is awesome. Lately ive been going to second hand stores in Santa Cruz County and finding old stop watches from 18th 19th century. I managed to completely separate each component found that it was the main spring that was not powering the escapement and balance wheel so, i took the old spring, heat tempered it to spring steel Rockwell, then stretched and re balanced it to fit in the housing. Then configured it back into the components setting. Re engineered the watch to 2023. It also has sun and moon dictation. I did this while working 67 hours a week. Building my own business on the side and taking my new dog to the park. Also i knew nothing about watches three weeks ago. Its doable and i love seeing old things brought back to life, i say to all men put the phone down, work a little harder and create something or fix something.
I couldn’t help but think this was rushed i didn’t think this was your best
Beautiful knife beautiful restoration good job well done mister
Love your channel brother, I would really like to thank you for taking history and keeping it alive. You're awesome brother,
Wow I can't believe how well that cleaned up 👍 many hours spent getting it back to the condition that you got it to. Well done great job
Beautiful restoration, thank you.
Did you dye the sheath! That was genuine distressed leather. You might as well have coloured it in with a permanent marker.
thank you for your work my friend, you did a great job
Nice work, l enjoy seeing history preserved.
Great restoration, thanks for sharing.
Hey man, i love your work, it’s truly amazing what you do. Keep up the amazing work!
Beautiful Knife👍👍
Sewing any kind of thick leather suppose to draw the thread on bee wax or parafine (before sewing) ,not let it ,,dry '' like i see it here . Have a good day.
Those disks, if I remember correctly, are leather that's been hardened with something before stacking and compressing them into the handle. I may be wrong, but I had an uncle who fought in WW2 that had one of these... only the crossguard was smaller and it was flat black.
Really well done . . . but yet . . . another knife
Def historic knife previously owned by John Jacob Jingleheimer….
Wonderful restore!
Seems like a great knife for a pirate! 😆
Aye-aye, sir ☠️! That a *great knife 🔪 for a pirate to plunder the Seven Seas* ...🌊!
Another incredible restoration! Thank you!
Нууууу, я ещё поверю, что это использовали в КАЧЕСТВЕ траншейного ножа, потому что какому-то гефрайтеру Шмидту не выдали нормальный (и он спёр ЭТО у герра Фогеля из гаража). Окопные ножи вроде больше походили на стилеты и кинжалы, нежели на кустарные кухонные рубилки, или я что-то путаю?!?
Funny to see a trench knife, I know it was part of the weapons and ammunition allocated but trenches were avoided in ww2 because of the lessons learned in WW1.
I would guess the army nr, brigade, section etc would be on it.
Those style of knives were generically called "trench knives" up to and including WW2. "Fighting/Combat knife" is the modern generic term.
Another great restoration! Keep up the good work my friend.
That’s not a trench knife. Trench knives are a specific style of knife.
Love your stuff pal, amazing!!!!
very nice 😆😆
That was so painful to watch. Misused products and a lack of understanding about the materials you’re working with.
1) the handle is stacked leather that has hardened from years of abuse. replace them.
2) that’s a high carbon steel knife so you need more protection to keep it from rusting.
3) saddle soap gets applied before you apply new dye. You should have scrubbed it with a medium bristle brush until you make suds so you actually clean the leather.
4) after cleaning the leather, you would then oil the leather to rehydrate the fibers. Once the leather stop absorbing new oil, then you can apply the dye.
4) after you apply the dye, use a wax to seal the leather and prevent the fresh dye from bleeding
5) don’t epoxy the handle, noooooo!!! WATER YOU DOING?!
Very cool. 😊
You absolutely destroyed that. Can't believe you hammered a fake patina onto the guard after destroying a real one for no reason. And then you go and weaken the tang by filling down the brazing.
It was already destroyed . no knife besides a cheap tourist or fantasy knife is brazing any tang to the blade. The blade probably was an original something debatable if it was a WW2 blade but everything below it including the soft copper guard was someone else’s attempt At fixing it.
@@dustyak79 you don't have a lot of knowledge about antique production knives, huh?
@@samziegler4957 apparently you think you do? How many actual WW2 era or before knives do you own? If the blade says made in Pakistan it doesn’t count . Go ahead and lie you know I can’t confirm it but I’d guess you’ve never touched one . Oh Brazing that should be left for jewelry something someone should know if they are going to call out someone else for perceived lack of knowledge.
@@dustyak79 I'm a bladesmith and knifemaker by trade. I've disassembled and restored many knives of that period and older. I personally own about a half dozen WW2 period blades, including production and trench made knives, though my study of them isn't limited to the knives and blades in my collection.
@@dustyak79 I'm guessing you're more familiar with later 20th century production knives which have a tang poorly arc welded on as a cost saving measure. These do have a tendency to break at the weld, but this is due to the extreme heat of the welding changing the crystalline structure of the steel, as well as the bad construction forming a stress riser. Tangs were commonly brazed or solder onto production knives of the late 19th and earlier 20th centuries. This method requires a much lower temperature that doesn't affect the steel structure the same way as an arc welder. The cutlers of these periods also tended to take more care with the quality of their design and construction. These tangs aren't as naturally prone to brittleness as the ones you might be familiar with. Also, get off the internet, you're as loud and opinionated as you are an idiot.
Enjoyed your restore. What knife sharpener is that?
What a great job buddy is it for sale
...lookin'' good, nice work, keep well...
Could you keep the txt on the screen for a bit longer, there's no time to read it
Mate, a tip for using an unpicker. Turn the knob on to the underside n push. That way you can control the thread cutting n not pierce the leather n make an unwanted cut. Have a good one mate. 👍
Excelente trabalho.👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
I was pretty pissed when I saw you restore the scabbard. ‘There’s no way that leather that old can be restored. just replace it.’ Man was i hella wrong. Great job. Just wow.
It looks great but the only criticism I have is that you should have cleaned, conditioned and dyed the leather of the sheath before you stitched it back together. Still a great piece though!
Yeah the epoxy will hold them together and completely destroy if anyone ever restores it in the future.
I think the engraving said Zachary...I paused it to write this... we'll see 🙈
That sheath looks like it needed to be soaked in leather conditioner for a year
Great looking restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
06:13 "Now the *sheath's needs some love* it needed here..."
Класс 👍👍👍
Nicely done. Find one buried 50yrs. in the jungle and restore.
It must be exciting for the viewers that send you items to see you restore them.
That is a very nice knife handle and now it looks even nicer! Great job once again!
This red vise almost need a restoration too... Hahaha
Hi, great job, well done Cheers:)
Well as for the markings I took the Liberty of searching for ww2 combat knife makers and could find any Schmitt
Why the dishonest thumbnail. Just show it how it came without BSing us and making look worse than it is. Thumb down for dishonesty.
Phenolic handle?
Good restoration video❤️ your what? thubnail making mobile camara phone 🤔
What’s the make of that knife sharpener?
Well that's the easiest channel sub of all time.
Nice
Saddle soap After dye ? ....it's a cleaner ...should have been used before the dye .....you just colored and drove in all the dirt.
what is the name of the knife
Muito linda
Nice.
👏🤩💕
😎😎😎👍👍👍
Awesome
I think the items in the handle not leather are probably Bakelite, the 40's precursor to plastics of the 50's and 60's,
Not a trench knife from WW2, nor did it need restoring, but cool ig.
Dobra prace! Ale nemohu se zbavit dojmu, ze ten nuz j e nejake ,,amaterske dilko,, ......na trench knive se mi to nezda....sorry.
Not a WWII trench knife
Your videos are too fast and you dont seem to all the care you ca with everything. I would love to see a slowed video, with your tools clean and you taking your time looking for all the details. I am sorry but I always leave your videos thinking yoi are sloppy
*It's a Krueger knife.*

When I saw you were leaving the pits - stopped watching. There are many of us that want to see items look new again, not left looking old and pitted.
Definitely not an American knife, I own 3 originals and they aren’t that thing.
