Have that exact same knife. Handle was originally stacked plastic and leather washers with a notch to clear the tang. Your take looks much nicer. I was lazy and double laced mine with para cord. Looks alright but its no wood.
4:35 does anyone remember that really weird phase on youtube when everyone was heating up knives to a red hot temp and then cut up a bunch of different stuff? That's what that reminds me of lol Anyways, great work! So pleasing to watch
Nice work! That turned out beautiful! I have a Western hunting knife, similar to that. MIne has the stacked leather handle. This video gave me a good idea of how I'm going to have to make the leather washers for a new handle. Thank you.
I just got almost the same Western knife and I have to replace the original stacked leather handle. Thanks for this video. I wanted to know how it was put together before it came in the mail I think I’m just going to replace it with new leather stacking.
That was a very nicely done restoration. I had one of those back in the late 70's. It didn't survive college I lost it on a camping trip. I don't know how or where. It just wasn't to be found when I unpacked.
A most excellent job of giving an elderly knife a second life. 👍 And while the deep pitting on the blade gives it character, sadly, it will become the home for new rust unless that knife is diligently cared for.
I've had a few like that. When you start cleaning them up it becomes obvious that you will not be able to grind out all of the pitting and still have a useful blade. I soak them in Evapo-Rust and then cold blue them.
The pins are riveted, center punch followed by a drill bit of the same diameter to shear the head off then drive them out. Evapo-Rust to remove deep rust. To lower the pits, clap to a block of wood longer than the blade, rap a piece of 60 grit to a rubber sanding block and work tip to heel. The sanding belt takes way to much material off at once. switch to 120 then 240 and final 600. finish using a cotton polishing wheel and metal polishing rouge sticks to achieve a mirror finish. apply Renaissance micro-crystalline wax to steel to seal and prevent rusting.
@@TwoHandsRestorations excellent. It does wonders. It was developed by the British museum to preserve all manner of items as listed on the container. to apply, use either an ultra soft toothbrush, or your finger after gloving up with either nitrile, or vinyl gloves. and only a bare minimum is needed to cover a surface, allow drying time 5-minutes then lightly buff.
I cringed when you cut the rear bolster off, but you sure did a great job of replacing it! Did you ever retemper the knife or did you just leave it oil hardened? Nice looking knife!
I have some knives that need a similar overhaul. I kind of falter when I realize there is more labor involved here than most average knives are worth in $$. That's gotta be a real labor of love. Edit. Brass is so much better than aluminum for guards and pommels. I like the classic 20th century look of stacked leather and aluminum, but brass is still the best material.
Hah ! I said to myself this restoration is too long to watch I’ll just swipe thru it , and then I must have been mesmerized because sat thru it to the end , it came out good, sure was a lot of work for a knife that cost $3.25 in1965 but then again it will last 100 or more years if taken care of
Those pins were flared on both sides from being hammered in. Should have pre-drilled a small hole in one side to allow the metal to collapse as the punch drove it through.
My grandpa passed on an old Western hunting knife. It's still in decent shape other than needing a new handle because the guard and leather strips are loose
To be honest, besides not properly tempering, the heavy grinding to get rid of deep rust pits compounds the lack of serviceability of the knife. I was interested because I have the very same knife. I wouldn't take this one in the field. Handle looks nice, however.
Last time I popped a butt cap on a blade I had to drill the Pins .. I ust to buy K Bars by the box load years go and do custom handles .. and sheaths when I had to . You did not need to take the temper out of that blade . Know what not bad for an amature . After taking the temper out of that steel that blade will never keep an edge but western never kepted an edge worth a quater anyway 99& of there blades were made from 1050 to 1070 carbon steel. Just steel and carbon nothing ells .. no chrominum moly or anything .
Sorry, but the handle looks better than the blade. Sometimes when there is just too much pitting, ask your self, is it worth it when the blade still looks like garbage after all the work you put in?
@@matthiasweigel311 - yep that’s right. I have a 2003 Mustang GT I’ve put in over 10 grand in the last five years. One of the body shop guys, who removed some rust ($850) last summer asked me the same thing “Why not just sell her and buy yourself a new one?”. Peace

Beautiful restoration well finished
The character of the wood really popped once it was oiled, fantastic job all round.
I have the same knife I found that’s in about the same shape. Thanks for sharing I’ll definitely be watching again.
Very well done, I learned a lot from this thank you.
Been wanting to replace the rotten leather handle on a western knife I have had since I was a kid. Thanks for the vid on how to do it.
Pleasantly surprised at the result. 👌

Perhaps people wanted to see if they really did cut "like a hot knife through cheese"?

Amazing difference in the before and after. 👍😎👍😎👍😎👍
a great job and that handle is beautiful
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Boss, y are...a true Boss. Respekt!
I bought that very same Western knife at K-Mart almost 50 years ago - and still have it and the sheath. Pretty cool to see how it all goes together.
Ditto. I’ve had mine just about that long too.
Great job!!
Hell of a job! Looks amazing!
Well done! One of your best videos ever! Great job editing too. Riveting and interesting to watch from the first minute to the last.
Love the handle!

beautifull knife design plus a good handle..excellent work sir.
Yes, that was a lot of hard work. I like that the blade still has pitting - it's part of the character 😄🛠️👍🏼
WHAT, NO BLOOD!?? WHAT-EVER......., YOU DID THAT KNIFE PROUD! GREAT JOB! THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
Very satisfying. Great restoration work and video! 👍🏻 Super relaxing to watch!🤟
The handle outshines the blade
Great stuff THR!! Loving your work!
Much appreciated!
That's beautiful
Beautiful result!
Well done guy.
Great job. Beautiful handle! 👌🏼

Gorgeous!
I have a old knife that could use a new handle. Good work.
Brilliant! Fine art.
Great channel hope all is well. Come back soon and do your work it's awesome!
I have a very similar Western skinner, they're virtually indestructible knives.

Great job
It would be awesome if you made a nice sheath for the knives too. That would be interesting to see
Very nice
very nice
Nice one son👍👍
If you put the Sanding straps behind the metal strip it works better to tear off. Try it.
The pins are riveted, center punch followed by a drill bit of the same diameter to shear the head off then drive them out. Evapo-Rust to remove deep rust. To lower the pits, clap to a block of wood longer than the blade, rap a piece of 60 grit to a rubber sanding block and work tip to heel.

@ 0:58 When they don't come from one side...
Try attacking them from the other side...
I didn't think of that. Next time I will.
They’re steel rivets, not pins. You have to drill them out. You’ll never get them out with just a punch.
@@brianjohnson1519 ...
Correct they R;... but some R ever so slightly tapered...
@@ElTelBaby Looked to me like they were peened.
@@ozarked2363 Thats it...
Peened;... I just couldn't remember that word...
Rivets with spiral shafts;... shanks

Put a bevel with the belt sander then go to a sharpening stone
amazing
Good job, good content at all.Greetings from Germany
Look into a product called Evapo-Rust it's really good at removing rust, you can also boil it to convert it.
I cringed when you cut the rear bolster off, but you sure did a great job of replacing it! Did you ever retemper the knife or did you just leave it oil hardened? Nice looking knife!
Nice!
Nice pommel

Не стоило делать термичку заново,не знаешь ведь что за сталь
Those pins were flared on both sides from being hammered in. Should have pre-drilled a small hole in one side to allow the metal to collapse as the punch drove it through.
Well done bro! Maybe knifes also interesting for my content😁.Greetings!
Muratic acid 3 parts water , one part acid will eat the rust off but not the steel .
was this blade made in pakistan? i have one in a very similar style.
Show!
Wow
It's a very good job, but you must to build the sheath now.
👍👍👍
I need a pommel just like that,can you make one for me
My grandpa passed on an old Western hunting knife. It's still in decent shape other than needing a new handle because the guard and leather strips are loose
I am sooo high now...sleepy too

Cutting metal like a pleb. Where's your high pressure cutter?
@@matthiasweigel311 high water pressure cutter. Missed an important word. Just joking with him of course.
@@matthiasweigel311 jeez that lame joke just fell to pieces. Just terrible. Can't even get the names right.

I think heavily pitted blades kinda look great in their own way..

New handle - restoration failed
You can do a better job with the blade...don`t looks neat...
