[@user-zd1sg6sl5y]

These knives are made from stainless steel. Apparently the knife was deliberately immersed in acid. Blades made of the best steel remained almost intact and corrosion appeared on the spacers.

[@WrenB111]

i noticed that.

[@Loran1972]

Je pense exactement la même chose; un couteau suisse ne rouille pas. Je pense qu'il y a supercherie et qu'un procédé chimique spécifique a été utilisé pour obtenir un tel niveau de corrosion !!!

[@khalsasikhpunjabda]

Is a fake

[@natsterjam]

100% agree!!! So many of these vids are set up and made to look worse with some inventive rust action. Nearly every single one is clearly fresh/new rust clearly induced! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the restoration but find the fakery to be extremely dishonest and not required.

[@serphvarna4154]

Exactly

[@fluffymacaw933]

Ummm, these knives never rust so this is bullshit

[@OdeeOz]

Agreed. I haven't had one rust yet, in over 50 years use.

[@ybplays1629]

They do corrode tho

[@amunra8510]

As a wastewater operator at a plating company I can confirm they do rust when used for repair work around industrial chemicals

[@peetsnort]

Thanks for saving me writing

[@wolfkremen]

I have seen one of these knives found in an excavation of a wet garbage dump. Stainless steel was intact.

[@Eagle48]

How did those aluminum liners get rusty?

[@filouphilippe7680]

Lol ...and how stainless steel 1.4110 get rusted lol

[@PongoVideos]

It's fake

[@Eagle48]

@@PongoVideos Gee! Ya think so?!😏

[@PongoVideos]

@@Eagle48 yeah

[@PongoVideos]

Some more reasons the video was faked is because the aluminum and plastic on the knife are "rusted" and the stainless steel which sometimes has chromium on it to protect it and make it shinier and chromium DOES NOT RUST also the knife was kept in jeans which he would probably find the knife sooner before it was "rusted"

[@rabbit6872]

How did aluminum, plastic, and stainless rust? Something isn’t right here.

I have run Victorinox Swiss army knives through the wash many times and they do not rust.

[@luigiprovencher8888]

There's no way that's a real Swiss Army knife. They're made of Aluminum and Stainless steel and wouldn't rust like that.

[@aaroncostello8812]

Fun Fact: Victorinox knives do NOT rust like this when you run them through the washing machine. In fact, I have never had one rust and I have carried and used them for 40 years. 😂😂

[@bobbiroberts]

Dude... You left the iron on!!!😂😂

How fake do you want this to be Him: yes

[@rvling]

how do we know if something like this real then

Pretty cool that it was left abandoned to rust with all items fanned out so you could see each one.

[@neohistoryfan1014]

I still have my dad's Swiss Army knives from the 90s. I'm planning on getting the XXL (all-in-one model). I always carry an SAK when I visit abandoned buildings.

[@etherealbolweevil6268]

A few years I spotted one in a seawater rock pool. Fairly recently lost. Washing in clean water, several times. Bit of metal polish on a rag for the metalwork, and oil on the joints. Good as new.

[@jamesrichardson771]

How can this be so "Rusty" I always thought the Swiss' had the finest' steel in the world, not to mention stainless steel 🤔

[@lostandrestored]

From the manufacturer: Victorinox Knives are manufactured using Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel has a high resistance to corrosion. However, this does not mean it is resistant to rust or corrosion if not looked after properly. Regular cleaning and oiling are important for your Swiss Army Knife to function properly. I can email the owner of the knife and ask them how it got this rusty. What we can see is a lot of surface rust that points to neglect.

[@laurentdevaux5617]

​@@lostandrestoredEven if you leave it outside for a year, a genuine Swiss knife will NEVER rust. At worst, the plastic grips may decay, but nothing more.

[@matthewjones6010]

The liners are rusty as fuck. Please explain to me how aluminium gets rusty….? Obviously faked for this video.

[@filouphilippe7680]

It can not lol ...except if you paint it in rusty orange. That's why nobody has seen 1.4110 steel so rusty before this fake lol

[@terrygreene1395]

Aluminum doesn’t rust…..but it does oxidize I think and get a white powdery crust. So I think that is legit.

Victorinox has a lifetime guarantee. Complete restoration is not expensive either.

[@garymucher4082]

Nice. This is very odd. I found one today going through my 3 year deceased dad's cigar box and it is in pristine condition...

[@fireymkb1234]

It was stored in a different environment than this one anything can change depending on where it is

[@Dragon64646]

Victorinox are the best. Still made in Switzerland (Ibach) 🇨🇭If you treat them well, they can be used for decades. Sharpen from. time to time, but not too often.

[@spacepope87]

​@fireymkb1234 The plastic scales and aluminum spacers shouldn't have that rust. Also the steel is super stainless. There's not way it would rust like that unless if left under water for a decade.

[@Polarbear2829]

Something fishy going on here. I mean its swiss army and they always use the best stainless steels.

Hola buenas tardes bonito trabajo saludos

[@williamdavidson3143]

Great job Jason, still have a original Swiss Army knife from the early 70’s in perfect condition since I was a kid

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

Yup👍🏼 I bought my own with my first pay... 1983 It's been in daily use ever since and has never let me down. (I worked on construction sites and was a truckie as well) I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world 😉

[@sterkriger2572]

Because they’re made of stainless steel and the one in the video was purposely ruined to make this

[@paul-sparky-sparr4160]

​@user-ff4qz7iz6w It's a WORKCHAMP. Made by Victorinox in 1983. They were available with black or red grips. I've got the one with black grips, which I guess is rare. (Everyone wanted the "red one"... 😉)

[@stevewilliams2895]

everyones talking about how "the steel never rusts that bad" and are skipping over the fact that the aluminium liners and the PLASTIC SCALES ARE RUSTED

[@nolanwebster1039]

That is neat. I saw someone else restore a Swiss army knife but they couldn't reinstall the red plastic handle scales, so they custom made some stag scales to replace them instead. It made it a beautiful knife.

[@lorrainemclay3343]

Brilliant work 👏👏 Thanks so much for sharing your talents 👏🌈😀👏👏👏

[@subramanianiyer2731]

Nice job brother. Like from Mumbai, India.

[@khoaptran]

No way, I have a 25 year old Swiss knife (previously daily use for about 5 years) that wound up just sitting in a box and it had built up mildly rusted blades, nowhere near bad looking as this one in the video. Well, when these 'stainless steel' blades rust, they are not just surface rust that you can wipe off. It is pitted into the blade and leaves craters in the blade after detailed cleanup. You'll have a scar face blade, not a perfectly smooth blade. This knife is staged.

[@michaelthomsen4919]

Agreed. I have had several of those knives and they could never ever end up like this one ... even the aluminium is rusty on this one. Fake.

[@andreacadman4587]

Totally using that joke btw. And that turned out so clean. I still would never use the toothpick.

[@ferd.6779]

That went out very well! l Like the vid's so continue ;-))

[@aethanchannell9131]

How in the- i didn’t even think it was possible for these things to rust- I lost a Victorinox just like this one in my driveway a few years ago and I found it recently and it’s still shiny. FAKE

[@cohen860]

Would help to know the solutions you used for cleaning and de-rusting.

[@OdeeOz]

I've had several Swiss-Army-Pocket knives for 50+ years, and they have never rusted. No I don't do a lot of WD-40 spraying on them either. But I use them daily.

[@darrellwhite302]

The next video will be a Delorean with rusted covered body panels. Just wait, someone will do it.

[@P.Claudio]

How did the white clothes turn out in the washing machine? Ha Ha something is not right here...

I suspect strongly that this knife was deliberately damaged. However, the restoration was entertaining.

[@PGoodmanCOG]

[@johnbroussard3666]

Looks like this fakeo got called out by the audience. Was going to point out that Victorinox SAK's are made from 420J2 steel. A steel that is known in the industry for it's resistance to corrosion. It would take an elaborate mixture of rust inducing chemicals to produce that much scale. As others have mentioned, the lack of deep pitting and damage to the steel is also telling.

[@Chevelle_addict]

The aluminum is ate up, as well as the rusted stainless. I call BS

[@KARAMBA.5111]

Да он из нержавейки. И где ржавые пятна на джинсах?

[@galootlovestools]

There’s suspicious lack of pitting on those heavily ‘rusted’ stainless steel blades. In the end, they polished up like they were new. Rust doesn’t come from nowhere. It comes from oxidation of the underlying metal. With moderate to heavy rusting you will always get some pitting and loss of the underlying steel.

[@emesser7087]

Good thing is victorinox is offering live long guarantee so they would maybe even do that for free or just replace it (but I do like the effort to not waste materials etc.) nice job
