Old Rusty Knife Restoration

I set out to restore this antique knife using the same methods and tools that would have been used 128 years ago. I abstained from modern conveniences such as electric tools and instead relied on the tried and true methods of hand and pedal-powered tools.

Ey BJIKKE! er du norsk as??

[@organiclungs]

how is this channel not absolutely booming with subs?! well done, man! as a lover of history, i appreciate this channel more than you can imagine, bro 👍👍👍

[@FFD_Restorations]

Much appreciated! Thank you kindly 🤗

[@williamsmith2633]

This is the best restoration channel on KZbin. I love journeying back in time and seeing the way things used to be done. Definitely appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos!

[@FFD_Restorations]

@@williamsmith2633 much appreciated

[@RichardColwell1]

This is so incredible. It’s like old school restoration on old school items

[@FFD_Restorations]

😃👍

[@daveturnbull7221]

Quite a transformation! The original shape of the blade reminded me a bit of a paper knife (essentially a blunt blade used in bookbinding) but it had obviously been sharpened a great many times so probably not one of those. I agree, that new handle is really lovely and I don't blame you for wanting to just look at it - such a lovely looking thing.

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@tristanbarnett6271]

Wow man I can't stop watching your videos cuz everytime I watch one you blow me away you are awesome I love seeing old techniques being used again your whole equipment is awesome I can actually say I've never seen another KZbinr use as much old tools as you do you are awesome my friend God bless you and keep it up

[@FFD_Restorations]

I appreciate that!

[@chrisgenovese8188]

I love it! I just found your channel from a Short, and was immediately drawn by the dedication to 19th century craftsmanship. Very unique, love the aesthetic. I'm gonna watch all your videos.

Awesome, thank you and welcome 🤗

[@marklammas2465]

You worked hard for that mackerel and onion! Nice one.

The handle you made is really sweet, outstanding figuring in the wood, good choice from my view point, the knife came out and keeping the original collar(ring), well sir that made the whole project come together. Thanks for the video young man.

excellent, old and hard used knife brought back to life to your now usual high standards, love the curly Birch handle, perfect for the blade and very traditional, you now make this sort of thing look easy, so different to the start of the channel, you have learned a huge amount and improved your tool collection unbelievably well, becoming the master of the trade now, no longer the apprentice

[@FFD_Restorations]

👍

[@IchNixHabenUsername]

Why did the oil soaking of the handle took a month in the past compared to the day it took you? :)

[@FFD_Restorations]

Because they build things to last. They would soak wood for 24 hours and dry it one week, sand it down and repeat the process 3-4 times. Today is a different story and time is a luxury...

[@jathre.]

Where do you find all these old man powered tools? I do small metalworking projects by hand tools but these would make life much more fun!

[@FFD_Restorations]

From people who sell them

[@mikkelbjerkmann6856]

I think it's a butchers knife, for parting out different muscles on a animal. the tip is supposed to have a steep angle towards the end like it had but not broken like it was. nicely done, with the masur birch!

[@FFD_Restorations]

You are probably right about the knife type. Thanks for masur birch correction, that is 100% correct 😉 Thanks 👍

[@abgebrueht]

Wonderful work as always. curly Birch is one of my favourites. Is it hard to sharp these blades? especially, when the wield is bad?

[@FFD_Restorations]

Thanks a lot. With appropriate sharpening stones or tools it is not that difficult. But on the other hand sometimes it can be tricky because of laminated blade, especially transition between soft steel and hard steel.

[@19Bmiller]

Now I know it was your skill and hard work that restored but I can't also help but think some magic was involved. Was that a face on the new handle?
