Old Broken Automatic Knife Restoration. Making a new blade

I found an old broken automatic knife and decided to restore it. Restoration is not easy. The knife is similar to the Switchblade Knife, Shur-Snap Colonial. The blade in the knife was broken and I made a new blade. Made a new knife. Removed the rust. I hope you liked my restoration.

Круто сделал👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 отличная работа, но эту ржавую, кривую пружину ты не мог поменять🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@georgepretnick4460]

Excellent choice of restoration subject. I've seen enough bench vises, coffee grinders, and rusty wrenches being restored. An old broken switchblade is a welcome change. Good skills too.

[@robinknight333]

What about wire & tubing bender

[@markedworthy6829]

Impressive restoration! The blade grinder was cleaver and ingenious 👍😊

The effort and honesty to put in 'failures and further adjustments is really impressive. It would be so easy for you to just cut it down and be like "Oh I did it first time". Instead you really show the process.

Outstanding restoration of a very interesting piece!!! Your mastery of multiple skills provides an excellent result!!! Incredible job!!! Thanks for sharing your work with us!

Real nice job.❤❤

[@armandosalinas312]

honestly, i liked the way it was... even with the broken blade... had that handed down a few generations feel to it

[@joejones9520]

I could tell it had been used for many yrs after the blade broke, imagine someone still using it instead getting a new one, sentimental value maybe or too poor for new one or maybe didnt care.

[@teetop5776]

That's the coolest knife I have ever seen. Awesome job.

I love the jig you made to get that angle ground in. Magnificent job on this restoration. All of your work is amazing.

[@goat5635]

This guy has a very unique blacksmithing technique that I never seen before

[@lamproknives]

There's no blacksmithing in this video, and all the technics he uses here are fairly basic in knife making

[@goat5635]

@@lamproknives that what I meant, most video I see like this the restorer usually forge the blade not repurpose a file

[@goat5635]

On top of that file tends to break once you mess with the structural design

Amazing job brother. Like from India

[@ReXtorer]

[@oculusangelicus8978]

That's quite the knife, the construction was significantly different from all the examples I have seen, the handle was made out of solid steel, and filed beautifully, I can see why you chose to grab it, regardless of the blade, this is a rare one, and the blade design you chose was perfect for it, a nice clip point design, beautiful and intimidating all at the same time. I would have chosen replacement Brass screws, but I have to say the polished steel ones look good too. So good work! I was expecting you to make a new sliding block as the lock to replace the one inside, it looked pretty rough. But all in all, I'd say you came out with a significantly better knife that when you started the video with!!! :P LOL

[@ReXtorer]

Thanks for watching my videos! Next time I will consider my mistakes

A very, very special knife--- of apparent Spanish manufacture: those of unsurpassed design. A knife I covet greatly, and worth every second of this painstaking restoration. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could find one like this, but it is likely only a few such were made by one dedicated artisan. What a find!

[@user-vw7cx6zz7b]

Обычная тюремная самоделка из России. Грубость изделия связана с минимумом доступного инструмента при изготовлении.

[@Tipi_Dan]

@@user-vw7cx6zz7b I am surprised. Perhaps a Spanish influence, then? The design is impeccable, regardless of finish.

We call that a switchblade, and they are highly illegal, LOL. However, for an antique collectors item, wow. Beautiful.

[@daddy-o8680]

Switchblades are not illegal in the entire USA. Each state has their own laws regarding knives (including switchblades). Based upon my research, they are legal in most states.

[@user-sz8wp6ky7q]

Гарна праця. Механізми у ножах, замість мастила краще використовувати стержень звичайного, простого олівця. Покращує тертя і не накопичує пилу. Це не наполягання)), а порада. Спробуй і відчуєш різницю. Дякую за відео.

In Germany you need a weapon license for this kind of "devices", because it's actually not just device - it is indeed a weapon, but well done job then after all ... ! 😉🦊

[@julianreast5425]

I would have liked to have seen how you put the coiled spring back as I would imagine it to be pretty difficult. Good vid and nice knife deserved the work

it wasn't hard. One end is fixed on the axis of the knife, the other end is wound around

[@jnstanford]

If you ever need to quench something again. Heat up a piece of metal and throw in the oil. For example take that old piece of blade and either throw in the oven or even heat to orange with the blow torch. Will save you some time. Just a thought from a hobbyist blades bladesmith. Great video btw!!

[@canerandagio104]

I'll give you some news on this flick knife. It is Italian and probably from the 19th century given the manufacture. It was called "The Spaniard" "Lo Spagnolo" and was produced in Naples, in the region called Campania. During that period the Kingdom of Naples was under the aegis of the Bourbons, who you may know were Spanish. It was also known as "white pocket weapon" among the Guappi, minions of the Camorra lords of the time (1850).
