Old Knife Restoration - FMM Stamp on the Blade

[@FFD_Restorations]

Hello everyone! This old knife restoration was definitely a fun and easy restoration with my new vice. Funny thing is that I got it in the middle of the video. Hey, better ever than never, right 😊 Stay safe and see you next Monday 😊 Boris, Norway

@@FFD_Restorations I've got the 125th anniversary edition of this knife it's not nearly as impressive as this older model. It's really boring. And the handle stains very easy just in moderate use. I've cleaned and sanded it multiple times.

Nice to see old knifes saved. I.m born and raised in Mora and i had practise on one of the knife factorys a short while. Based on that logo on the knife it should be from around 1930-1950. Good job.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Wow, that is amazing to hear, thank you so much for info! I appreciate that very much! Beste hilsener fra Norge

Of all the repair or restoration videos I’ve seen, I believe this is the first craftsman I’ve found who’s been willing to take the time to clean up and repair the handle on the piece being revived. I’m very pleased to have discovered your work. Many thanks!

[@MR.B00_]

Wonderful restoration. I didn't realize until the end of the video that it was an old Morakniv. I have to get that vise! 👍 Also I very much appreciate that you preserve every piece on the restoration that you can, that is the true mark of a faithful restorer of antiquities and relics.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Cool, thank you so much Brian! I try my best, thanks for noticing that 😊👍

[@isaacsoderlund9677]

I'm glad you kept the old handle. There's history there that shouldn't always be tossed aside. Nice job!

[@stevencunningham4680]

Mora's are excellent knives , I have 2 of them. My first was the Wilderness model which I bought for 13 dollars from Smoky Mountain Knife Works. The 2nd one I bought from the same place and it was a blade blank of which I think is the same blade as the Clipper. I put a cedar wood handle on it and I made a leather sheath for it. Now I carry it as part of my EDC.

Thank you for the support Chris, that means a lot to me 🤗 Best wishes 👋

[@TomtomTomtom986]

Awesome! Thanks for restoring the wood handle as well- most of other KZbinrs just replace it and kill the history with it. You coul have split the crack completely, clean the split area and glued it together first (I would use bone glue mix with some rabbit skin glue) to avoid using the 2K fix. If you prefer the used look fantastic (I do) but you can refresh wheathered wood too. Love your work!

[@FFD_Restorations]

That is a great suggestion, thank you so much Tomtom. I am so happy to read comments like this and learn. Thank you for sharing!

Dude thanks it's the real restoration,not like 90% of scam here on youtube, a little tip: drill a tiny hole on the end of the crack before you do anything else. And one more,back in a days they didn't use a fancy wood on these handles so they painted them, mostly black, sometimes green,paintjib was good with primer and all

As always mate, it's AWESOME!!! Ihave one advice if you don't mind : with the next wooden handle, you can use the dust after sanding with white glue. It will be strong enough! See you soon!!

[@FFD_Restorations]

Much appreciated mate 😉 Thanks for the tip! Always happy to hear and learn something new! Actually I have stopped using wood glue (white glue, I hope we think the same) because if it comes often with water and such it wears off. I am not talking one or two times, it takes some time to wear off but it is not long lasting. At least from my experience... Take care mate!
