Clumsy Shaving Knife Restoration - No Power Tools

Welcome in today’s video where I am doing shaving knife restoration. This project is done only by hands and without using any power tools. First, I took the knife apart and start removing rust. The steel is very hard as expected on this knife, so, it took awhile for removing all rust by hand. During the disassembling one handle snapped :(.
That is not worst part, after a little bit I managed to break the blade. Hmm, lucky me! From shaving knife restoration, became knife saving project! There was no other option and I made two new wooden handles and new shape for the blade. The end result is not bad actually. I like it, but now is more like a knife in a shape of shaving knife. Anyway, it will be great peace in my knife collection, not because it is perfect, because it has a story behind. I will always remember this one.
Project took me 7 hours. I used old rusty shaving knife as a knife for this restoration and tools such as: files, sandpaper 180, 240, 320, 600 grit, wet stone, table clamp, handsaw, small planer, hand drill, small hammer…

You did a nice job making the wooden handle. Pity you had to modify the blade though!
