Antique Knife Restoration

- In this video, I restore an old knife. I found the knife in my Grandmother's garage. She said it belonged to her father, and can remember him using it as a kitchen knife. It was covered in a pretty heavy layer of rust and the scales (wood handle) needed to be replaced. I have no idea how old it is and could not find any identifying marks.
I used muriatic acid diluted with water to help get the rust off. Muriatic acid is pretty strong stuff and I definitely don't recommend using it as a rust remover unless you know what you're doing around acids and also have the proper safety equipment.
As you can see in the end of the video, some of the pitting in the blade was too deep to grind away without making the blade too thin. So I just left them as beauty marks. :-)
The new scales are made of spalted curly maple. The spalting (black lines) is caused by different colonies of fungus that infiltrate the wood after the tree dies. The wood comes from a maple tree that was cut down in my backyard several years ago. It has been drying for about 3 years now.
Thanks for watching!

Przepiękne jest ten cały nóż odrestaurowany pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👏
Fantastic handle wood. A nice, simple knife given a new life.
Thanks for the video
As a native Vermonter, I can't help but be fascinated when spalted curly maple is used as the wood of choice for handle scales. With the right finish, the grain absolutely POPS! Insane job!
Same here! Every piece of spalted maple seems to be unique, which is one of the reasons I like to use it for projects like this.
I've found toilet bowl cleaner to be a decent rust remover too. Also, I like to finish the leading edge of the handle (the part that is next to the blade) before gluing the sides of it on. It makes finishing the handle a lot easier.
Great job you did there! If that knife, which is might commonly called a butcher's knife, was your great-grandfather's, then it is probably over a hundred years old, made around the turn of the century. This knife, given the size, shape and weight, could also have been used as a bushman's camp knife. Yep, damn fine job you did there!
That was painful to watch, next knife making class I’m showing this video to highlight everything that is wrong with what you have done. I thank you for that.
The end result is very nice. This knife is styled a lot like those common in the 40's and 50's. I recently revived one similar to this manufactured by Case XX but it was clearly marked and had blood grooves at the spine. I was able to preserve the handle but the wood you used is beautiful. Cheers!
Thanks! Yeah, I have seen a lot of knives of this style. I wish mine had some sort of identifying marks on it, but I think it's probably some ordinary mass-manufactured knife from back then. Still a nice knife and works well nonetheless!
Did I miss the part how the wood got attached to the metal? I saw the rivets, but I didn't see how it bonded. Otherwise great video.
Oh my! Tramontina!
That was fun to watch.
nice work !
Thanks!
Interesting way of working :D

Thanks ✌️
What potions do you use to impregnate a knife each time? Can you tell me? I would like to make some knives myself but I have no experience so can I ask for information?
Good work great result 👍

I don't know why you didn't batter the rivets. I don't know why you didn't taper the blade end of the handle. It seems you left a few rust pits in the blade. Still very nice almost cuts paper. Maybe next time you should demonstrate on a brisket.
I didn't peen the rivets on this knife because it's not really needed for a knife like this. This knife isn't going to be used that hard so the handle isn't likely to come off the tang. I didn't taper the tang because I prefer knives with a full thickness tang. Not a fan of tapered tang personally. Yeah, there are some rust pits in the blade. The only way to get rid of rust pits is to grind the blade thinner, and the pits were too deep to do that. If I did try that, the blade would end up being too thin, so I just left the pits as is. Gives it some character though! :-)
@@projectswithryan8174 ok great explanation. Now I get it. Thanks for your reply Ryan. Looking forward to your next video.
No problem! Thanks!
Did you film this in slo mo?
Nope! I filmed it in real time then sped up the clips during editing.
Нееее......
На это можно смотреть вечно... Как на огонь.. воду...
УСПОКАИВАЕТ.....
Okapi brand ??
Looks like a Ontario butcher knife
Not sure what company made the knife. There are no identifying marks on the blade, tang, or handle. The shape is a common butcher knife style from what I could find, so I can't really narrow it down that way either.
