Kyle please if you don't mind me asking where may I find those little pommel nuts that tighten down the pommel ? It's at 12:09 in the video , I've called every Knife store hardware store and even a company that only makes nuts and no one has them can u help btw I have the exact same knife my uncle found with his metal detector 45 years ago .
Your video has given me hope. I am starting my first knife restoration project today on an old stag handled Hunting Knife I picked up at a garage sale this morning. Very rusted and Stag handle is extremely oxidized and very loos on the tang and missing spacers. Thank you for sharing your process. Very helpfull.
Its a Gorgeous knife now Kyle! You really made a huge difference in it . I really love the way it turned out. Great video as always Kyle! Take care and stay safe my friend!!
Kyle if I may recommend labeling your multi-part videos. I didn’t realize this was the second video you had done for this knife and I like to watch them from the start
Kyle, I can say with good authority that your restoration looks as good as new because I have a very similar knife that I purchased in new, unused condition sometime in the late ''70s at a flea market in central Georgia. I bought it from a guy with a table full of knives, so I have no way of knowing if my knife was a recent production, or an older model he picked up wholesale as factory close out. I did a quick check online and I came across a number of similar knives that say they are made by Edge Brand. Mine is stamped "Edgemark" and Solingen, Germany on one side, and 426 on the other side. I never noticed until you pointed it out, but the sheath is stamped Solingen Western Germany. The stitching threads are very thin, I think the manufacturer relied on the rivets to hold the leather together more than the stitching. There is a stamped image of a stag on the sheath. The guard on mine is a large rounded oval shape, it does not have the little knobs on the ends. My knife came as a set of two. The second, smaller blade is a caping blade that rides in a smaller sheath affixed to the front of the sheath. The blades came uncoated with sort of a satin finish, not mirror finish, but bare metal. The stag handles are one piece on both of mine, I just double checked. They have the same decorative red spacers and the same pommel construction as the one you feature. I couldn't find anything on a steel called 426, so I assume that 426 is a model number and not a type of steel. Years ago I used a Lansky system to put a very fine edge on the blade, like one would put on a filet knife. My bad. It was scalpel sharp but it was easy to turn the edge slightly when cutting through deer and hog bone joints. The metal didn't chip, if that gives anyone an indication of the steel type. I went back and put a steeper angle on the edge, whatever the middle setting is on a Lansky, I can't recall right now. After that, the knife held a great edge and I have used it to clean a good number of deer and wild hogs. I eventually switched to a drop pointed blade for cleaning animals, but this knife is still my backup. The upturned, Bowie style blade is not great for gutting animals, but it's nice for skinning them. Edge retention is very good, I can clean several deer with it before I have to touch up the blade. Often, a few passes on a strop are all it needs to return to hair shaving sharpness. The handles are nicely shaped and they really fit the hand nicely. It's a very comfortable knife to work with. Based on how well the edge has held up I feel like the steel is good quality. Stag antler handles are not easy to come by, or affordable nowadays. If the style of the knife suits your needs, I think the quality and beauty of the knife for the price is very worth it.
Nice job. If you don't have a belt sander, any tips, for getting those black marks, ofg old antique carbon steel. I have a dremel. Got what i could, off with steel wire wheel. but antique blade still has blackish grey pattina on the oldest penknifes, i have.
Hi Kyle. Been a subscriber fellow Canadian, and watched your channel for years. I like to dabble in knife making and refurbishing. Although, definitely not on the professional level that you’re doing. I did have a quick question though. I recently came across an older German hunting knife with a stag handle and a pommel similar to the one in this video. It’s turning out quite well, but I find that when I tighten down the brass nut into the pommel, it seems to come loose with very little force. My question is, after I tighten the pommel down with the brass night as tight as I can, there is a little bit of the tang left sticking out just proud of the brass nut, should I heat that up and peen it over the brass nut? Just trying to think of ways to stop that brass nut from backing out of the pommel and making the pommel loose. Thank you Kyle, keep up the amazing work. We’re all learning lots out here.
Well done, im restoring an old 50s era solingen germany rhino blade hunting g bowie made by edge brand. The glade cleaned up well with minor pitting unfortunately.
I don't know if you used Locktite to secure the nut on the aluminum end. I have discovered a product called Vibratite that allows removal of a nut or screw but is very secure. I like it better than locktite.
The specialized tool for carving the handle from the inside out was very clever--but is there a reason you wouldn't just file the tang slightly instead?
Too glossy for my taste, kinda makes it look chinese or plastic instead hehe but I understand on the other hand wanting to end up with a spotless shiny product. It's a good quality restoration, that's how I'd aim to do one as well A fully functional knife once more and for many years to come as well. And I'm jealous because early german and swedish knives are my favorites. Specially with stag. Currently putting some stag handles on a fiskars blade and a mora companion HD.
Am I the only one who is curious about the tang stamp? I have a knife nearly identical. I read 'Solegin Germany' on one side but couldn't make out the opposite side tang stamp.
Kyle. Where did you get that forked tool to set the screw in the end of the tang to secure the pommel to the leather handle. If not available retail, is there an alternative method. My old German hunting knives need some restoration. Thanks, Norm

Amazing job! So cool that you were able to harden the marrow and bring it back to life.
That turned out so nice, I wasn't sure about reusing the antler, but it worked out perfectly. Great job as always man.
In all honesty, that knife probably looks better now than when it was new! Good job!

You should patent the reamer design for orthopedic surgery. There is probably a use for it. Different sizes and shapes.
That knife is just beautiful.
You do masterful work, a true craftsman.
Its a Gorgeous knife now Kyle! You really made a huge difference in it . I really love the way it turned out. Great video as always Kyle! Take care and stay safe my friend!!

Stunning job
Good lord that came out nice!
Beautiful Knife! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
13:33 .. I think that is very, very sorted :) just shows how a knife can be beautiful & practical at the same time
👍 Nice work.
Beautiful!
Wow,thats amazing
I knew this was going to be stunning 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
Beautiful restoration! I was afraid you were going to put a new handle on it. Would it make sense to spray lacquer the brass parts?
Nice job. If you don't have a belt sander, any tips, for getting those black marks, ofg old antique carbon steel. I have a dremel. Got what i could, off with steel wire wheel. but antique blade still has blackish grey pattina on the oldest penknifes, i have.

Ugh, I know the feeling of having a messy shop. Whenever I start a new project, the first thing I do is clean the shop.
This is a knife handle restoration video. What did you polish the knife with?
Du très beau travail, bravo.
I don't know if you used Locktite to secure the nut on the aluminum end. I have discovered a product called Vibratite that allows removal of a nut or screw but is very secure. I like it better than locktite.
The specialized tool for carving the handle from the inside out was very clever--but is there a reason you wouldn't just file the tang slightly instead?
Peening with two hammers…….learned something new. Thx
Nice video.
What was that spray you had on the glue about 6:27?
You should get the client reacting in your videos. I think it would elevate the videos!
Very nice
Nice! 🤙🏻
Craftsmanship!
Beautiful knife design How many inches long is the blade? How many inches wide is the blade? How many inches long is the knife handle?
Perfect!
great video , turned out beautifully, who was the maker of that knife by the way?
Emil Voos Solingen
what is that type of guard called?
Too glossy for my taste, kinda makes it look chinese or plastic instead hehe but I understand on the other hand wanting to end up with a spotless shiny product.
It's a good quality restoration, that's how I'd aim to do one as well
A fully functional knife once more and for many years to come as well.

Specially with stag.
Currently putting some stag handles on a fiskars blade and a mora companion HD.
smallest chainsaw file could open that key followed by a women's nail file for the 90s
Gorgeous
I would have ground the handle a tiny bit thinner instead of opening the keyhole ...
Great job but I hate that handle, should have just got you to do a leather stack, would look so much better.
that fuller though
Am I the only one who is curious about the tang stamp? I have a knife nearly identical. I read 'Solegin Germany' on one side but couldn't make out the opposite side tang stamp.
Solingen
You have an interesting local accent. Is it Canadian?
Kyle is from Newfoundland, Canada.
Deberías callarte un poco y trabajar más hermano 🙏 ,ya q realmente son hermosas piezas y tus restauraciones muy buenas, Pero mucho bblablabla
Dang son
Gee, I wonder if that box is from Amazon?🤭
Would you look at that.
Thats a purdy knife
Is that a marbles knife?
That’s a sword, not a knife…
😊
meeeega
I’m glad you reused the stag.
I've got a soligen knife it's 13 inch with the handle and the blade is 8 & a half inch it's number 46 and says robin on it is it any good
Kyle. Where did you get that forked tool to set the screw in the end of the tang to secure the pommel to the leather handle. If not available retail, is there an alternative method. My old German hunting knives need some restoration.
Thanks, Norm
