I watch an enormous amount of restoration videos. I have to say that yours are some of the best. Thank you

[@RestorationbyGOAT]

it was one of the best knife restorations I've watched. especially the part where you made a wooden handle was very good . I'm looking forward to the next video with excitement . ❤️👍

[@graysengriffin7012]

You have no idea how happy it makes me to see that you actually restored it and not just reused the blade, you returned to the knife to its former glory. Amazing work also!

[@KHorowitz]

You should restore that red vice next!

[@frantiseklaluch6605]

I like how it feels old even restored...

We all need to pitch in and get this guy a blasting cabinet and a bench grinder! Nice work👍🏻👍🏻

Looks like a knife I lost in the late 80s as a kid. My Dad, Grandpa & me were hunting morels, when we got back to the truck my dagger was gone. Sad day but we did find a bunch of morels so I guess it was worth it.

I'm glad you liked it. It turned out better than I thought with so much metal rusted away.

[@mercuryrising9174]

@@lostandrestored I'm not critisizing you efforts at all. Very cool little knife the problem is mainly those are 3$ at the swap meet and sometimes even less in perfect shape/condition..

[@michaelpatterson7645]

I had dozens of those daggers, they were cheap Pakistani knives from the 90's about 10$. Still well done, great job restoring it.

[@xaw4570]

Awesome restoration awesome work , but the threaded end cap is a giveaway that it’s not a 1900s knife my friends and I used to buy these at flee markets every summer for like $5 and play with them all summer till they broke or we lost them lol definitely some nostalgia for me !

[@crouchingjaguar]

I was just going to say the same thing. Made in Pakistan.

[@markjust86]

It might have been made in the 90s. That would be 1900s if you go by the common usage of the term 1900s

[@GooseArg]

Im from Argentina and i have the exact same dagger...i've always assumed that it was my fathers letters opener

This reminds me of a boot knife I bought out of the back of Boys Life when I was a scout in the ‘90’s. I loved that knife! Couldn’t take it on any camp outs because it wasn’t regulation. Not sure where I put it, probably lost it in a move.

[@ryanmcgrath339]

@@francissobotka8725 what i ment is when the Dagger was being made the tang was to short and there was an extra piece of metal added you can see it when he takes the handle off.

Good restoration I actually had one of those boot knives back in the early 90's it was garbage testing its strength tried to puncture a tire and it just snapped

[@TylerSnyder305]

Yeah this isn't from the 60's, ut was made in Pakistan in the 1980's + and you can still get then today. The welded on rat tail tang is kind of a dead giveaway.

I had one of these, they were fairly common years ago when i got one, sadly mine was a fairly cheap Chinese thing. I bought it for about £10 at a steam rally/fair when i was around 13yo :) Knife used to fall to bits all the time, the pommel used to come loose very often.

The restored handle looked great. Too bad there wasn't more that could be done to make the blade look better.

[@lostandrestored]

Yeah, the blade is so thin now it’s good to open up envelopes.

[@danhansson409]

Hmm, pitted blade with a welded on tang that look ready to snap...

[@TylerSnyder305]

This Dagger isn't actually from the 1960's. These have been made in Pakistan since the 80's and are still available today for under $20 at many flea markets and discount cutlery retailers like BudK. At least it came out looking better than it would have when new, they are just not made or finished well at all.

[@sandorgordonlipcsei6718]

What type of polir paste did you use?

[@remjoleea5560]

Anyone have any idea what happened to original handle? Is that water damage or… (Also beautiful work!! I really love the way the pitting in the blade adds character and contrast to the nice shiny metal :o

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

I had one of those way back in the early 90's, the metal was softer than baby shit and would not hold an edge for long at all.... In fact I've done farts that lasted longer than the edge on that knife did 🤣🤣😂😂

You did as good a job restoring the knife as almost anybody could, but I don't know why you bothered. This is a very thin steel, rat tail tang knife with very heavy pitting. Really not worth your time or trouble to restore it.

[@tylerdunker4131]

Quit watching as soon as he put the vise handle over the table and not the free end.

With how my camera mounts, the vice would stick out too far and you wouldn’t see the shot.
