Pocket Knife Blade Replacement

[@DragonHeart5150]

I can't believe he would take the time to make another but didn't clean up the rest of the pieces of the knife.

[@DeconstructedWithJosh]

He didn't? Thought they just looked dirty because of them being carbon steel.

[@chrisw422]

Agreed. He had the knife all apart, but didn’t clean and polish the rest when it was the perfect time to do so. Perhaps he was just wanting to make the knife useful. Good blade replacement however, without the original tang stamp. All is in the eyes of the beholder.

[@grahamparr3933]

Thought the same myself😏

[@norherman]

I'm surprised you didn't clean up the other blade's . Thanks for sharing.

[@seanrobinson6407]

I'm surprised you used an apostrophe when "blades" was merely plural, not possessive

[@drakedorosh9332]

Such a useful video and not a word spoken. Loved the tear down. It showed everything I needed to know but your photography during the tempering process is top notch. Thank you for posting.

[@Denverscorpio]

It's a cool video 📹 😎 But 🤔 why not just buy a knife from ebay or something, and take its goodies 😉 instead of making one ur own 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@timwegman5776]

@@Denverscorpio if you have to ask the. The video was lost on you. It's an art form and a chance to make something beautiful instead of buying something mass produced.

[@d.g.n9392]

Good video. I’ve been cleaning up and repairing several old knives. This inspires me to try to do something more intricate.

[@Mr1Blacktooth]

Impressive work with that torch. Especially when you brought the blade color up to blue. Nicely done.

[@timwegman5776]

Yes you have to temper the metal first you heat is then cool it fats in oils to make the metal stiff but fragile then you heat it and cool very slow with heat bringing it down slow this tempers and makes the steel strong

[@timwegman5776]

Oh um I may have posted that on the wrong poster if so sorry I've had a couple beers I was only trying to be helpful

[@Kodiak_Edge]

@@timwegman5776 It was all done wrong lol!

[@tristanbarnett6271]

Got to say I'm very impressed I take apart and put together pocket knives all the time as part of my job and I got to say you're the first video I've seen where somebody actually filmed taking apart a pocket knife and replacing the blade and putting it back together that alone is awesome to see but yeah I would love to see another video of the whole knife being restored

[@Raggafarian]

I want more of this content as well. Specifically recovering traditional slipjoints with the jigging and cover sanding etc. and some more info on the pinning work.

[@jafethsalas6561]

You missed the nail slot

[@richardweinberger2756]

That's some fine workmanship.

[@Kodiak_Edge]

All done wrong he needs to do it right so you can learn right!

[@jayantilaljpatel4678]

Simple, solid and yet innovative restoration, All the best .

[@seanrobinson6407]

Innovative? How?

[@duaneross9271]

Great job,make it look easy, but I guess that's youtube. Still good job, I'm glad that ol knife found someone to take care of it. He didn't look very tired anyway, just forgotten.

[@timwegman5776]

Very nice and I like the fact you did not restore every part because an old knife like this needs to show it's age it's like a book telling it's stories and what it has seen in its life.

[@DeconstructedWithJosh]

What a cool little knife.

[@schesterrz]

Muy buen trabajo elaborando una nueva hoja y reemplazandola 👌 pero porqué no aprovechar para quitar oxido y pulir las otras piezas ? Eso no tiene perdón 🤦‍♂️

[@patanvalle9379]

nice work greetings from Buenos Aires. Argentina

[@PappyHolliday]

Great job. The Cub and Boy Scout knives are great knives. I have many of both the Imperial and Camillus models. Why didn’t you put a thumb nail cut in the blade? To each his own. Great work.

[@oldmanfred8676]

I was wondering how he was going to cut that?😊

[@BD12342]

Great work but blade profile is a little off, needs a nail notch and bigger tang to get more spring tension. I have not made any blades but replaced a few. I haven’t mastered a good looking nail notch, just used a dremel cutting wheel, effective but ugly.

[@joehead1294]

Nice Imperial. Never seen one like it.

[@johnw1328]

That's real nice the way you did that.

[@pedropalma7604]

I have an old "corvo" from my late grandfather and i'd love to be able to do something like this.

[@Bowhunter1300]

I like that blade profile.

[@jerryphillips5112]

The new blade looks great. But, it has NO SNAP!

[@Kodiak_Edge]

because the kick on the tang that makes the snap on the bar spring was worn down and he used the old blade as a pattern! he should of made the kick on the tang stick down further now his blade is hitting the spring to lol

[@r.mercado9737]

Outstanding!! Quick question, “Will you a vid on the complete cleaning and wood restoration?” I’m certain your audience will like that as well. What say you? Semper Fi

[@therealjammit]

On the "heel" of the new blade (where the edge meets the rotating pin there's a bump) I would have made that a little bigger. It prevents the knife from smacking into the spring when you close it and it's easy to file it down after assembly.

[@devatwell334]

There is no springs but ok

[@johndilday1846]

@@devatwell334 The steel spacers are also springs, that’s what allows the blades to snap open and closed and provides the necessary tension for the knife to function properly. 😊

[@동두천두꺼비]

Dear Mr. I have "Camillus pocket knife" in 1966. and restoring now. As you know those pocket knives had spring(leaf spring? or something.),and have to make one. cause broke. If you do this, what kind of steel you choose? stainless or 5160 steeel like this video. Thanks, From S.korean. viewer

[@petek1pml746]

Great work

[@mtmchenry]

Good as new great job.

Amigo, ya que desarmo y recupero la hoja , lo que esta muy bien, devio aprobechar el desarme y limpiar las otras herramientas y dejarla toda bonita , falto el trabajo completo , a seguir trabajando y no cometer el mismo error👍

[@bernyamador2896]

Muy buen trabajo....

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Nice work.

[@АлександрОлонец]

As a collector, it would be more important for me to preserve the mark than to make a new blade.

[@reedlampe7375]

Are you taking on new projects? I have a Remington RS3333 with a blade broken exactly like this one I would love to have repaired as it is very sentimental

[@pitsnipe5559]

Nice job on the new blade except the point profile is incorrect. A By Scout camp knife has a what I believe is called a drop point. Also, you should cut a thumb nail slot as in the original.

[@wizardofahhhs759]

Spear point.

[@pitsnipe5559]

@@wizardofahhhs759 Yes! That’s it! Thanks. 😊

[@frankferrara4407]

I feel like he changed the profile from the original blade to the new one

[@tonydemaria186]

Camp knives like these usually have a spear point blade like what's on a Swiss army knife. The replacement blade he made is a slight drop point or "skinner" blade almost like what you see on an old hickory butcher knife

[@RogerPurser]

Love that knife.lost mine in 2011 F5 tornado. Is it for sale?

[@Тотсамыйчеловек-б2ч]

Хорошая работа!

[@bulldogtonyyt1116]

You should cut the pins instead of punching it out of the bolsters! You will minimize widening the counter sink holes and expanding the pin inside the hole!

[@nixonwasframed]

Yeah that hurt to watch. Use a narrower punch. But impressive, I can't do that.

[@reginaldwilkinson6019]

Nice job, but I can’t believe you didn’t clean up the rest of the tool once you had it in pieces.

[@k9six185]

It’s called patina...some things should show it’s history

[@schesterrz]

Exacto 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 porqué no ?

[@Raggafarian]

At least where layers meet and pivoting occurs

[@adams13f]

What type of steel?

[@ghost6500]

Yep. it was a BLADE REPLACEMENT! Heavens forbid if he would CLEAN IT and restore it.

[@lucianopasquini4905]

Bellissimo cortellino si puo'acquistare uno uguale e dove?

[@Anvil-wg2je]

Did you get the closing of the blade to snap?

[@fisherman5572]

Это очень хорошая работа , но неужели, разобрав полностью нож нельзя было почистить лайнеры и другие инструменты ?

[@jimdennis9328]

Nice work. On disassembly, did you pre-drill the rivets before punching them out? Also, on reassembly did you reuse the same rivets or replace them with new rivets? If you replaced them, did purchase them or fabricate them yourself? Also, it looked as though you were going to fabricate a new blade spring as well, did you do that or did you reuse the existing spring? Again, nice job, thank you for posting.

[@flyingwforge4628]

I didn't predrill the rivets, as I was worried the drill would wander. The punch allowed me to be much more accurate, though it was a bit more tedious. I made new rivets on the lathe from mild steel since the size of the originals wasn't readily available. I tried to reuse as much as I could from the knife, so other than the new blade and the rivets, everything else was kept as is.

[@chrisbliss2034]

@@flyingwforge4628 Great job on the penknife Mon Ami. I discovered a really neat way to push out the rivets on these knives : on the stationery jaw to your vice, drill a hole inside the jaw to receive a hardened ,pointed pin (broken drill bits are ideal) whose diameter is just less than the knifepin. Offer the penknife up into the jaws placing a suitably shaped washer (old bicycle brake washers are perfect!) over the other end of the pin to allow it to travel when pushed. Hope that's clear enough. It's a very controlled and non destructive way to push out the pins------ and the same technique will also remove cotter pins/ tool handle pins, etc., all without ever striking a blow. 😄

[@carlmorgan8452]

Labor of love 😊

[@frankburcham6991]

I think you should of re-platted the blades and polished the brass.

[@jimgrun6473]

Great video! Love how you gave this old knife a new life. Why no nail nick?

[@roshankumarasamy294]

Hi, how can I got a knife across to you for a blade replacement?

[@wacherwolf4519]

A knife blade does not become hard just by annealing, for hardening the blade must be surrounded by carbon so that the iron absorbs the carbon and thus turns from iron to steel.

[@seanrobinson6407]

Nice knife that one.

[@МаксАндреев-о5и]

Я бы сделал по другому и клеймо бы сохранил с оригинального лезвия. И да, почему не почистили нож и другие детали, всё равно был разобран?

I need a similar size blade for an all stainless miliitary camp knife. The entire blade is missing. I am ready to snap everything back together if I can find a blade.

You spend all that time and effort to carefully take the knife apart then craft a new blade and while you have it apart you don't clean it all up, why?
