Difficult to watch, all the originality / patina gone. All the history / scuffs of war use destroyed. In Britain collectors want the history there not removed. Not good Karma in my view.

Not a special forces knife, just a typical fighting knife for the Marine Corps. I got mine in 89 and it's made by Ontario. I still have it. You did an outstanding job at bringing this weapon back to life.

If that’s a K-bar it’s made in Olean NY. Not to far where I live from. Actually Cutco knife company is partnered with K-bar. So if it’s a true K-bar then it’s from Olean ,not Canada. Also fun fact in Bradford PA just across the border Case cutlery knifes and Zippo lighters are made there.

Yup. They still make those knives. Both Ontario & Ka-bar can be had on Amazon. Camillus made that knife all the way till about 2006 before they folded. I bought my Ka-bar in 87. Bought a new Ka-bar sheath about 10 years ago.

It looks great and you sold it for a good profit, so... success! That said, you polished a turd. Those knives are garbage. They break where the tang meets the blade, and usually just when you need them most. I hope you put your considerable skills to use restoring items that are more worthy.

Boris you are the best restorer on KZbin. When I restore a knife, I never go for shiny and perfect. I try to protect the maker’s mark to show the age and patina of the knife. Then I bring the knife back to excellent working order like you did with this one. I think character is important. Thanks 🎸🔪

It’s just a Camillus. $50-60(US)brand new at the Military Clothing Sales shop. So about that butt cap..did you weld it back up or did you shorten the handle by a washer thickness, drill a new hole and then pin it? Nice job overall and I liked the copper rivets touch to it. 👍🏼

I bought my Camillus at the PX at the MCRD Parris Island in 1970, it cost $6.00 which I thought was expensive brand new. I was in Vietnam for three months and the scabbard rotted away. I replace the leather scabbard with a Mk-1, M-7 bayonet scabbard.

Awesome story, thank you for sharing sir! I was curious and checked how much that would be in today's money. $6 in 1970 is worth $48.79 today 😀. That was actually an excellent purchase in my opinion. Unfortunate for the scabbard. Did you find out why that happened? Was leather treated with some oils to prevent rotting?

Did you forget to adress the fixation of the pommel to the lemmet from this beautiful knife. It is a important part of the structure. Greetings from The Netherlands.

I was shouting at my computer screen 'Stop ! - it's got the pinned-on pommel !..' but for some reason you didn't hear me !!.. Seems to be a US Navy Mk2, a version of the famous 'Kabar'.. The Kabar was made famous by the Marine Corps, but their version had 'USMC' stamped on the ricasso on the opposite side to the makers details. The rectangular tang end and pinned-on pommel came in towards the end of WW2, but your knife looks later than that, possibly even Vietnam War era..

I was at a loss as to why you would pound the tang out of the pommel that way. You can usually get them off by drilling out the pin from the side, which would keep the top of the tang from cracking that way. Otherwise, pretty well done job.

How did you fix the tang where it broke? Drilled a new hole and shortened the handle slightly? Genuinely curious because I have one my grandfather left me thats broken exactly like that and I want to fix it. Well done, beautiful work. No power tools and manually operated lathe was phenomenal!
