I Restore A Rusty 1953 M5 Bayonet - Korean War Restoration

I restore an m5 bayonet from the Korean war. This 1950's bayonet was all rusted and a broken handle. With the right restoration tools this m5 bayonet went from being lost to restored.

Restoring knives like this is a rather unique way to honor those who served, @lostandrestored!

[@Jin_Sakai]

I don’t know why but I really love the restoration of bayonets. It’s like history becomes alive again.

[@grandpaweber2097]

The final version of bayonet for the venerable M-1 Garand rifle. That blade shape/style was in style for a long time; my M16A1 rifle bayonet had the same blade and grip style, only the attachment "bits" were different. Very well done restoration, Sir.

СТИЛЕТ‼️👍🔞👏

[@AandB1998]

Fantastic restoration! Better than new.

[@robertparous7285]

I like how you used like every tool you had

[@MeatyController]

What a refreshing ending lol!

[@lisapino6739]

Wow! What a fantastic restoration. Really enjoy watching your videos.

[@pomnichowski]

good stuff...

[@georgebenta3435]

The M5 was developed during the Korean war, but it was not used by the deployed troops during the war. They designed this bayonet based on what they learned during the Korean war.

[@davidjohnston330]

So much violence 😂🤣😂🤣 Great job 💰💰💰

[@xnazzylove]

Wait, why does the knife have a clicker? What is the clicker for?

[@melanciagamez11]

Good question

[@lostandrestored]

It's to attach at the front of their gun.

[@joyaljoy145]

[@СергейШ-р7к]

what's the reason mount and dismantle the vise?

[@nordicson2835]

Looks in pretty good shape compared to some of the things you have saved. Wonder if the old girl saw any "inside" action ?

[@lostandrestored]

That’s a really good question. I always wonder what’s the back story on these lost items.

[@robertfreitag1319]

Very professional restoration. Especially impressed by how you restored the scales...Well done!

[@lostandrestored]

Thanks, I’m glad the handle grip turned out so well.

[@laurentdevaux5617]

It could have been more professional if the metal parts were parkerized, and not blued. Good job anyway.

[@garymucher4082]

I realize so many like to "cold blue" the blade of knives, but I like a very nicely polished blade myself. But otherwise you did a great refurbishing of this knife. A highly polished blade is a lot harder to start rusting again...

[@masonrains5010]

I have one from my great grandfather that was his in ww2. He was in the navy.

[@carrestore]

that was perfect

[@johnnygonmor8421]

Increíble reparación. Tengo una y vine a encontrar oro.

[@gianluigimarino8264]

Great!

[@paolomichielin4849]

Bel lavoro! Bravo!

[@promasian9090]

Does anyone know what that orange liquid is that he soaked the knives in after applying Blueing fluid, currently working on saving a couple of these myself with a buddy of mine and would really like to know. Thank you!

[@marciodr1963]

WOW! Seems like a brand new bayonet! (And in the final sequence, a "subtle" message: "Subscribe, or..."😅)

Фантастика

[@nahimibrahim107]

What was the button for on the side?

[@patrickmines8099]

Are the inside part's the same as a M-6?

[@Austeration]

Cool restoration 👍you do great work.

[@khristoosmoove8087]

What was the button for🤨

[@claymore440]

To release the bayonet after it was placed on the rifle.

[@mushfiqurrahman2515]

[@SharpForceTrauma]

Whilst the use of plastic weld and superglue may be alright for a superficial repair, it wont hold up to extensive use. still, a nice display piece

[@ВячеславЕгошин-у3б]

super!!!

[@GT_Racer347]

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

[@joserubensdossantos509]

ok It's valid.

[@longrider42]

Well done, I have the US M6 bayonet, by Imperial, with scabbard. You did a first rate job. Too bad you could have parkanize the blade, its really not supposed to be blued. More of a green color. But non the less very impressive.

[@АндрейЕфимов-ю8е]

настоящая реставрация

[@stephenkent8903]

Wonderful restoration of military weapon. I have my uncle's ww2 military knife. He was a navy signal man.

[@teacheme]

Another job well done. Good restoration and yes, another "lost" now restored.

[@ХизирХумгаев]

Actually a bayonet wouldn’t have that cross guard that is a switch blade

[@lawrenceforman6999]

He’s great knifemaker 🔪 I think this knife is very valuable!!! Great job, fellow!!! 👍

[@nathanschmidtke5901]

It’s not very) valuable.. maybe worth 120 150$

[@bustergipson5380]

@@nathanschmidtke5901 Not now after his type of restoration maybe 20 to 45 dollars

[@lawrenceforman6999]

Lol 😆, it’s valuable because this knife is very rarest item in the world. I’m sure bidders will motivate to get this cool knife 🔪

[@tanrdaglar7882]

Why are your videos fast? We can't see anything. 12. 22 ?

[@cristinacosta1507]

Que maravilha!!!

[@SoggySandwich80]

I have one just like that my great grandfather used when he faught in Korea (he faught in the Second World War too). Mine is in near mint condition. Just a bit scratched no rust

[@KaraOrrs]

How much

[@persioboni9373]

Bom !

[@joserubensdossantos509]

Good job. But, if you agree, I think the blade shoud be better worked

[@lostandrestored]

I wanted to keep some of the original wear on the knife and its history.

[@georgiycarikov4319]

👍👍👍

[@rdking123]

Great video, 1 question where did you get the parts “screws and spring” I’m trying to restore mine 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@longrider42]

Try Ebay, They have parts. Possibly even a scabbard. Good luck

[@Steve_bombado2798]

Eu queria saber pra que serve o super blue

[@akoznasovajusername]

5/5 *

[@gallucinogenia]

От какого оружия этот штык-нож?

[@enalche2]

M1 garand

[@raoulvolfoni1800]

@ET Hardcorgamer Only M1 Garand . Bayonet lugs are not the same on M 16 or bolt action rifles . Sure you’re not familiar with weaponry .

[@GabyGibson]

Huh. So you had to grease then heat up the metal in order to break the handle

[@sintin9419]

what is the button for in the handle? 12:27

[@lostandrestored]

It detaches it from the rifle.

[@hottoddy1971]

This was not a restoration. You destroyed the peen on the pommel and drilled out the rivets on the lug guide, along with the rivet for the guard retainer. This was completely unnecessary. Then you refinished with cold blue. Should have been bead blasted and reparkerized. What little collectability that knife had when you started, it was gone by the time you were done. As a US military bayonet collector, this was truly cringeworthy to watch.

[@alnerra1374]

Странно. Мастер оставил один скол на рукояти.

[@Nogard666]

Feels odd seeing someone put that much work into restoring a tool that I was able to find in basically new condition for $40 at my local antique mall a few years ago.

[@firehawk5962]

Its not the value of the knife it's the vid that makes him money

[@spearheadinc]

The M5 is not from the Korean War because bayonet was adopted by the U.S. military in 1953 when war was end,,, :-)

[@lostandrestored]

Check Wikipedia on the M5.
