[@JUANMANUELOSPINA-ll3tu]

Beautiful knife, al least someone who takes the time to disassemble the piece and really restore it...your wood idea was really good...congratulations, keep the good work

[@NTRprojects]

I will continue to try my best

[@SeanBZA]

Beautiful job there, must be very old, as I do not think Victorinox has made wooden sheathed knives for a long time, but still the classic look on it, and a great job on fixing it as well. I have a similar one which I used regularly, till the knife itself wore out, and the clip for the lanyard wore through. Repaired that with silver solder, but eventually it had to become a drawer piece. Aluminium sides, with the NATO issue number on it, the proper military version. Great knives, and that it was still so sharp after so long in a field is testament to the great design and good material choice. Your choice of replacing the wood with the same is great, though you really made it shine with all the colours chosen in the selection of wood used. A top job on this one, showing your attention to details, even in small parts.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much for this detailed feedback and your story as well

[@thomaszarski5100]

Did you choose to stabilize the wood first, or not an option?

[@suisseanonyme1033]

I have a really sad fact to said... it isn't a victorinox knife, victorinox never produced these can opener, some can opener were close, but still not the same. But if you want a good new, victorinox still product knife with wood scales.

[@henryhendrixx]

I love that your restorations actually RESTORE the item to its original condition and aren't just 40 pounds of bondo covered with paint. Excellent job as always!

[@youhavenothingifyoudonthav9895]

You sound like me . I feel the same about how alot of folks do this work . I've restored over 200 + Knives . So I'm very particular .as to how to do a knife .

[@martyjehovah]

Using a bunch of bondo so you can skip the hard work of sanding is definitely a bad thing that some restorers are guilty of, but there are also times when bondo/filler is the right move, and unfortunately a lot of people are under the impression it is always lazy and bad. For example if an antique part is thin, and deeply pitted it would be better to clean/stop further rusting and then use filler to even out the surface rather than sanding the part to oblivion or outright replacing it with new parts and ruining the piece's originality. Bondo is just another tool in your toolbox that under very specific circumstances is the better choice.

[@kaufmanat1]

40 pounds of bondo? How big are your pocket knives?

[@saulrudolph7450]

[@mi1r2]

Looks very pretty.

[@patg73]

This was an amazing video. It really made me sad because my granpa carried a swiss army knife with the wooden handles. It was very old. But when he passed away, it remained. And unlike us, a knife can be reborn. Thanks for making this video. It touched me.

[@NTRprojects]

[@javanthomas4122]

When is the drawing for the knife.

[@Rumble600]

This channel really deserves a lot more subscribers! I'm always blown away by these restorations, and this one is no exception. Most people would have tossed that knife in the trash, but you turned it into something beautiful. Keep it up!

[@AliAbbas-tg3ec]

Watched with my daughter. She was not convinced to start with but was very impressed by the end.

[@panatteri]

Actually, I think it is you who is supporting the many of us as you transport us into a realm of craft, care with materials - with positive messages of longevity and giving new life into these projects as the present themselves. Thank you.

[@NTRprojects]

This gave me goosebumps. Thank you for this motivational feedback

[@panatteri]

Good things to you.

[@OfficialSparklyPig]

When I was a child, I was playing with a Swiss knife of my fathers'. I had not handled one before. I had the main blade out, and went to close it, and it was hard to close. It finally flipped closed - directly onto my thumb! I still have the scar now at age 38. I love your channel and work and beer reviews, it is a fun combination and I always look forward to your next video.

[@SharpMagnets]

I want to say you’re really talented, but that would undermine how much skill you have. Fantastic video as always man!

[@GraphicDesignerStephen]

Rally nice job. Enjoy the significance of the different woods used in the scales. Whoever wins this will be lucky to have it.

[@andrelaszlo]

Wow, beautiful. Usually old knife restorations look tacky or off somehow, but I think you nailed it making it look personal but still classic.

[@Dungeon_Nick]

A lot of restoration videos are faked

[@nakedhombre]

This is a tremendous video and I’m sure that the lessons learned in taking something like this apart and attempting to restore it is worth it just for the learning experience and displaying the steps one must do, however, went after laboriously cleaning up the main blade and then it snapped, into two pieces, it also reflects another valuable lesson which is that some things are too far gone to restore and you should just buy new!!! But the final product is just stunning and you have made a very high class video👍🏼

[@Iissafaith]

Beautiful. I dont even use knives, I just wanted to tell you what wonderful work you did.

[@The4ndres]

Love the fact you used wood scrap from past projects for the scales; That's some palpable storytelling right there! And it looks like a bad-ass coral snake! Amazing job

[@miarosie]

I think that probably the best part of this restoration is the history of all parts. Given the choice of quality used over new, i’d always go used. I love to hold wood in particular knowing its been held and crafted before. I love old watches for the same reason. Never having had a Swiss army knife, this old gal would be delighted to own this one - or buy any other you restore in the future. Tastefully done.

[@healthandwealthat6pm724]

I know you have long ago given away the knife, but I just want to compliment you on your outstanding talent! You have breathed life back into that knife...and the handle is a work of art! I have subscribed to your channel so I can see some of your future projects!

[@sallydevaux]

Absolutely exquisite, I found this very relaxing, probably because you did all the work. So gratifying to rescue something old and in bad shape and making it useful again. A piece of art. It’s a credit to you, worthy of a cold beverage. Stay safe 🙏

[@TheBigbrother47]

That is one beautiful piece of work. Does the heart good to see that these knives are being saved from the lanfills and given second chances at life

[@valspaulding8644]

Beautiful work, a real work of art and skill. Anyone who wins this will have a treasure for life

[@montanaylago]

The combination of colors on the handle is exquisite! And is such a cool thing to have different wood from your different projects… nice restoration!

[@ParanoidAndroid86]

there is nothing more german, than interrupting a video for a random beer tasting ;-D

[@janekb.666]

What a nice work-especially the scales! You deserve much more followers, man.

[@NTRprojects]

One day maybe. But the KZbin Gods do not appreciate the long time I invest in each project

[@user-qv9lj8jn2b]

​@Not Terrible Restorations your hard work and patience you will see fruits of, my dear friend.

[@raggedrobin2341]

I follow a few restoration channels, and I’ve looked at many others. What sets your work apart from ALL of them is the creativity you apply. It’s what makes me look forward to each video. My young daughter is starting to get into restoration KZbin. I’d love to be able to gift her this knife one day! (She‘ll have to wait a bit longer for the beer though.)

[@NTRprojects]

That sounds nice. I'm crossing fingers. Thank you so much for the feedback

[@notforposers]

I watched this to help me go to sleep. It did the opposite because it was so interested and cool to watch. Beautiful work.

[@davidwerley1864]

this video just made me question why im not doing more with my life this was amazing. absolutely beautiful work!

[@vickiefowler1429]

A beautiful restoration for a classic “multi tool”. The colors and textures of the woods are arranged nicely. This is something anyone would be proud to use and show off!

[@pamelabraman7217]

Beautiful as always The part I like the best about watching you is not just your skill with the restorations, but your ability to see the potential in a piece of wood that others would just throw away. I definitely agree with you about the fizz in the beer, just the fact that it didn't produce a good head was enough to tell that.

[@try7out]

This is amazing! I remembered exactly the same knife I used to make boats with as a child.

[@victorpaulino8078]

What a beautiful work! The combination of these types of wood made the difference! I almost cried watching this video because I remembered a pocket knife of my grandpa that passed away in 2018 and we were so close to each other.

[@LadyLeigh]

What a masterpiece. I am not a knife person although I have a couple of victorinox Swiss knives, this is superb and I would be proud to own such a knife.

[@patrickbuechel2599]

I love this kind of stuff. People have asked me why I take so much time on a "crappy old knife",,,well, here's the reason why.

[@FajarJasmin]

Instantly a new favorite channel of mine! The bloodwood provides the flair, and the whole thing is an appreciation to a deep idea that anything is possible, no matter how broken you think you are. Just beautiful.

Was in Deutschland back in the '60's. (Army) Fell in love with Bavaria!

[@alanbarbour5185]

I once visited the Laguiloe factory in France where each knife is hand made sometimes to your own specification. I was privileged to purchase my own knife, a simple one blade folding finished in Mother of Pearl. Their attention to detail was no where near the thought and passion you built into this treasure. My knife was stolen in a burglary and I was held at it's point by two guys with a third in my kitchen. I was stark naked having been awoken from my bed, regardless I attacked the two in my lounge with a walking stick and chased them off into the night. They sadly took my knife, my phone and wallet with all my cards etc. Lovely to see such craftsmanship. Thanks.

Congratulations on reaching 41,300+ subscribers! This proves that the things you do are great to watch, and always highlight your skill with metallurgy, woodworking, and restoral processes. The thing that impressed me the most in this episode was the making of the broken copper plates. You not only produced exact copies out of a copper sheet, but you nickel plated them as well for authenticity, as well as protection! I admire that you chose a multi laminated handle for this knife. This gives the finished knife a distinct personality, and uniqueness. Well done! I hope your subscribers continue to grow as the years pass. NO TO WAR.

[@abilangbridge3136]

Wow, this restoration is honestly so beautiful, the design of that wood cover and the history behind all of the wood swatches is really ingenious! Never stop restoring (or drinking beer!)

Watching your videos is the most relaxing moment of my day, we really appreciate the passion you put into making them. Seeing a man shift so effortlessly between metal work and wood work truly amazes me and, as a fellow diyier, I also feel a little bit of envy😅

Excellent work, especially the handle! I like that you are careful about keeping your excess wood pieces and not just throwing them in the trash, like so many other restorers.

[@pjhalchemy]

Outstanding save and restoration, Dr.! Your choices of the old wood were spot on, especially the 400yr old oak (richness of the grain) and overall the scales are beautiful and well fit. Always a treat to see what is possible to restore something so dead with care and attention to details. Thanks for all you bring to those who appreciate precision and integrity of restoration...and a good story! Cheers!
