Old Knife Restoration - S&S Helle Knife Restoration

On first look this old knife appears as Mora, but it is not. This is a S&S Helle knife manufactured in small town Holmedal, Norway. I am not sure that this leather sheath came originally with this old S&S Helle knife but anyway I will try to refresh it and make it look decent.

Superb Job! It is so relaxing in your videos: no words, just the sound of the tools and materials at work, pure joy! Btw nice S&S Helle knife and what a beauty blade.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Many many thanks Luis, glad you liked it 😊👍 Yeah, it is gorgeous blade! Stay safe

See this channel is interesting because this guy reuses everything whereas other channels won’t even bother with the washers and handles sometimes and will just make new ones that’s pretty cool

Great job! Love that you do everything by hand! What did you use on that sheath because im trying to restore one right now!.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thanks. I used a bio paste for leather shoes. It refreshes the leather and protects...

[@illshowyouyoullsee9103]

@@FFD_Restorations I couldnt find that is leather filler the same?

[@FFD_Restorations]

No, it is not a filler. It serves for refreshing and protecting the leather. Also for polishing. It is a Norwegian product, not sure it is sold worldwide...

[@oldnuts4123]

good job! how did you get the knife so sharp? are you smoothed on sandpaper and finished on leather? Or did I miss something?

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thanks, yeah that it right. Sanding - sharpening in same go and then I finish it on leather. It does take a lot of time to sand by hand, but I don't have to sharpen it afterwards 😆 Thanks for watching 👍

[@oldnuts4123]

@@FFD_Restorations cool, but I thought you were sharpening somewhere behind the scenes)))

[@FFD_Restorations]

Nope 😉

[@milanradak269]

Excellent restoration. Looks like a great shop knife. I think it would have looked a little better if you had replaced the old brass washer with a new, hand crafted one. But that decision belongs to you. Thanks for the video

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thanks Milan, I probably should do that! Thank you so much for the feedback, I appreciate that 👍

In restoration, replacement is the last resort. It must be avoided to the last.

[@rafiquegardee3546]

Small learning point do you ever clean/polish inside the old wooden handles? And if so how, as I’ve seen you clean inside the caps at the blade base.

[@FFD_Restorations]

When I can, I do cleaning with a small file, but the thing that I always do is to blow out the lose dirt and rust. Polishing inside, no I don't do that...

[@rafiquegardee3546]

FFD Restorations thanks for the explanation. I have a little rust showing at the base of my mora and handle cap suggestions to treat/remove that are not drastic welcome

[@FFD_Restorations]

It needs to be sanded done, most likely polished and protected...

[@rafiquegardee3546]

FFD Restorations thanks , should I worry about the possible rust behind the cap.

[@FFD_Restorations]

@@rafiquegardee3546 It should be removed if is any rust under the cap (bolster), most likely there is rust...
