Pocket Knife Refurbishing from World War 2 | COOL RESTORATION

Pocket knife refurbishing from WW2 is a challenging project to do without any power tools. In this refurbishing video I will show you how I refurbished this WW2 pocket knife and made a new wooden handle from olive tree (it came out gorgeous). This WW2 pocket knife is produced in Solingen in Germany. One of the knife’s blade has a mark “G.M429221”, second one a “barrel brand” which means it is produced in 1934. And third and last one is marked with “magnetic”.
The handle was in terrible shape (looks like a rotten paper) and I had to make a new one. Since this is a knife used by military it deserves special handle. So, I made a beautiful wooden handle from olive tree. I had to replace metal pins with brass one and fixed broken smaller blade. Overall, this pocket knife refurbishing from WW2 was very successful. I am happy that I restored and saved this pocket knife…

Hey Richard, only if you feel that way, but remember the key thing is will. Everything is possible no matter of age or skill level. Give it a go! Even one small thing and after seeing joy in that you will become unstoppable! Stay safe and take care 👋😊

[@FFD_Restorations]

I am really sorry to hear that Richard. I feel bad now! Fingers crossed to go everything smoothly for surgery and keep up good spirit. Take care my friend!

Very nice job. I have a very similar pocket knife from my father, soldier in WW2, which I want to restore now. Thanks for your inspiration.

That olive wood was a great choice. Love the graining on it... just beautiful!

Glad you like it! It is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely my favorite... Thanks for watching 👍

[@ichinoize3978]

@@FFD_Restorations maybe you should protect the wood with oil before assembling to get a better protection of both sides of each piece tho :P

[@FFD_Restorations]

That is a good point 👍

Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? God Almighty, the Creator was manifest in the flesh. He came into the world to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. This is the Gospel which means the Good News. John 1:1-3,10 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Isaiah 44:6 KJV Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Revelation 1:17-18 KJV And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. Acts 4:12 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John 5:24 KJV Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 1 John 5:13 KJV These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Matthew 28:19-20 KJV Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
