Bowie Knife Restoration

Hello folks! Today I will show you the restoration of the Bowie knife. I tried to complete it in a purely classical style of American Bowie knives. My friend asked me to restore this knife. Therefore, tomorrow he will receive it, well, well, we are going to completely restore the knife.

19:52 Forest and cooking
As usual, I cleaned the surface of the knife with a rust remover, washed, dried and oiled. Due to the surface was relatively eaten by rust and there were deep pits. I decided to polish the blade, but without completely removing the dents.
The blade and all the places (bends, holes and the back part) I sanded 80 to 800 grit. with sandpaper.
The handle of the Bowie knife, here I used the classic parts of the composite handle of the Bowie knife. These are brass, black leather insert and deer horn. The guard was also made of brass. The handle of the knife was slightly sanded and polished.
I made the Bowie knife sheath out of thick genuine leather. I also made a rough test of the knife itself, and of course I made a delicious, interesting and pleasant knife test for you, but already in the forest.
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

Очередной раз, мастер порадовал нас восстановлением ножа из ржавой железяки! Успешно применил приёмы работы с металлами, кожей, деревом, а способности аппетитно приготовить мясо, вызывает обильное слюноотделение! Прекрасно исполненный боевой танец, заслуживает отдельной похвалы! Сразу видно - джигит! Искренне рад увиденному! Творческих успехов тебе!

Необычный ножичек!Представляю какой запах стоял когда рог шлифовался на гриндере...я отчётливо почувствовал запах дыма в конце и чуть слюной не подавился)))

[@ScrewsAndTools]

Да ножик и мне понравился, на днях воссоединится с хозяином) А запах как в стоматологическом отделении)

A Bowie knife with a bottler opener? How clever! You never know when you’ll need to crack open a “cold one” after a while of loading and reloading your flintlock and fighting off Santa Anna’s army!

[@user-js6mr3cv4u]

Спасибо Алекс - великолепная работа!!! Особенно зацепило изготовление ножен - неординарно и оригинально!!! P.S. Я видел, что многие при изготовлении деревянных ножен в их окончании делают технологические отверстия для слива влаги, в Вашем случае, видимо, компенсируется симбиозом древесины и кожи (излишки впитываются).

[@ScrewsAndTools]

Добрый вечер, спасибо за внимание. Все верно, в деревянных делал сам пару раз.

[@Alex27krsn]

Да у вас руки мастера рабочие в порезах. Нелегко даются такие работы. Такой труд достоин уважения.

[@VegasMikeP229]

Beautiful job - love the handle!! I don't like leaving pits in the metal. Has anyone tried sandblasting the blade to get the rust pits clean, then try some Spray Welding to put a little metal on the surface that can be sanded / ground off, leaving metal in the rust pits and a smooth overall surface? I've seen journals or axles that are only a few thousandths off have some spray welding applied, then machined back to the right size.

[@ScrewsAndTools]

Hello, thank you for your attention. You're right, maybe if I had a sandblaster and a welding spray machine, it could be fixed, but at the moment I don't have such tools. It's expensive, thanks for watching my content! ^_^

[@VegasMikeP229]

@@ScrewsAndTools I was thinking that someone in your city might be able to do that for a nominal fee. You're right, while sandblasting wouldn't be expensive, the spray welding might be. Maybe. Just a phone call question and if they get some advertisement / exposure on here, might do one or two for free. There are two questions for the welder - 1. what color is the metal sprayed on? If it's pretty much the same as steel, then the pits could essentially disappear, and 2. How much heat is involved with this process? Is it done on cold steel or heated steel? Obviously would affect temper if it's only done on heated steel. Wonder if you could lay down a spray steel that is NOT the same color as normal steel and then temper the blade. Might make a very interesting pattern, depending on where you've lightly grooved the blade. Lots of options / ideas. Take care.

[@ScrewsAndTools]

@@VegasMikeP229 This is very interesting and useful. Thanks for the advice. I will ask and find out where it will be possible to get such a service and whether the hardening of the knife will be damaged. Take care.
