Rebuild a Schrade 8OT Old Timer pocket knife

[@southernknifehobbyist]

Good morning! I am working to be able to post a new video every Thursday. Thank you all for watching!

[@BarlowBrigade]

This was Totally Awesome!!! Never thought about dog bone chews as a source for stag...😎👍🙏🔥

Knife Doctor sent me to you and I learned a lot from this video. Thanks, going to watch it again

[@southernknifehobbyist]

Thank you!

[@waynemiracle8928]

WOW! That knife turned out wonderfully! I really love your channel. I learn so much from you. You have such a precision approach to knife restoration. Plus now I find out you are a fellow preacher! May our Lord greatly bless you my brother!

I see different people fixing knife me one of those but you the best I see.

Great looking knife and my favorite model. I carry a Walden version everyday and they've been my favorites since the seventies. I have an old NIB NY tang stamp stored as a back up as well. I bought a book 30 years ago and learned how to repair pocketknives. I've done several Schrade knives over the years. The one thing I would never do is to put a stainless steel blade in a frame with carbon blades... I don't like stainless for one thing, but I also like my knives to age well from the backsprings to the blades. I don't like modern carbon steel pocket knives because they use stainless backsprings in every single one of them I've found.

Great video. The Knife Doctor said you have a great channel so I checked it out and I agree. God Bless. ☮️

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@rickgreen6358 Thank you!

[@reggieheidelberg2363]

Great video brother! The Knife Doctor was right, you have a great channel. I used your razor blade technique on an old Ulster last night. I also made a really thin bladed knife with a square tip that is working well too. Thanks for the great idea!

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@reggieheidelberg2363 I am glad that helped! I am still learning new things as well, and experimenting with new things. Share your own tips & tricks too!

That turned out beautiful! I really like the G10 at both ends of the scales. i’ve looked several times at the antlers selection in Petsmart and considered buying some now I think I will. Have a blessed day!

@@terryhodgson2357 Thank you! Post pictures and videos of your work when you do repair that one!

[@timcraft8238]

Preacher Man, and I say that with all respect, I love and appreciate your videos. I greatly enjoy seeing Christian men getting out into the world and representing Christ thru their words and actions- which is what we’re called to do… I’m sure your love of knives are a far 2,3,or4 from your love of the Good Lord, and if you explain God’s Word like you explain knives your knife videos, then you are an awesome pastor! God bless you my friend. Keep up the great work.

[@southernknifehobbyist]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

I just found your channel and enjoy your videos. I’m going back and watch them all. I just watched the first one. Very informative. Thanks There’s one thing I love more than a good knife video, a good sermon. Do you have any videos of your sermons? Thanks again.

[@dennispedicone5125]

Beautiful work, you do master work!

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@dennispedicone5125 Thank you! I appreciate the sentiment, but I can name half a dozen people that I know who are far more experienced and better at this than I am, and I know that there are many, many more whom I do not know. Still, I appreciate the kind words!

[@dennispedicone5125]

@@southernknifehobbyist doesn't matter what others do you yourself do great work and should be proud.

[@larrynason8716]

I just ran across your channel. And now I'm a new subscriber. 👍 Have you ever noticed how man made antler looks fake? I believe it's because God has the original design.

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@larrynason8716 I agree! I enjoy yellow plastic handles on knives. Other than that, natural materials are the only way to go!

[@jth56]

This is such a great video. Thank you for sharing. Could you share what grit you use on the belt sander? Thanks again!

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@jth56 thank you! I do most of my sanding with a 400-grit belt. I move to a 220 grit on occasion, and keep a couple of 80 grit for really aggressive material removal. I used to keep higher grits, but found that I can go from 400 straight to the polishing wheel.

[@howardkayecrabyman]

Very nice 👌 👍 GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙏

Nice work on the Schrade restoration, I appreciate the bible verse at the end of the video!

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@knifecoop001 thank you!

[@KevinCummins-n3j]

Do you have a method for repairing hairline cracks on bone handles. If so I would be interested in seeing it.

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@KevinCummins-n3j The best that I know of is to clean it with alcohol several times, picking out any dirt with a needle. After drying, use a thin super glue. Apply multiple layers if needed. Some people swear by Zap-a-Gap in 3 different thicknesses. Sometimes you can still see the crack, but it keeps it from spreading.

[@KevinCummins-n3j]

Thank you!!! I will try that.

[@diecastflashback]

Thanks for sharing ✌️😎

[@j.r.hutchinson1897]

Love the videos. Where do you find the knives that you are working on and what do you do with them once they are complete?

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@j.r.hutchinson1897 thank you! I buy some on eBay (though even parts knives are getting too expensive!) and find some in thrift stores and antique consignment stores. When I do sell them, I usually do on AAPK (allaboutpocketknives.com)

[@Chevyv8man1]

Hey Scott, I think that the 8ot is the best stockman that Schrade came out with. I really love it. You have made a very nice looking knife out of a good knife. I love the way you show how to go thru the processes to get the outcome that you want. The covers came out great and I would be proud to carry that knife around. What is the long pin material that you use for your pins and where can I get them? Do you sell your knives or are they just for your personal collection? Thanks you for any help you can give me - later

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@Chevyv8man1 Thank you! I buy silver nickel and brass pins from Jantz supply online. Sometimes I can find brass pins at Ace Hardware and Hobby Lobby.

[@NGMountains]

Scott in your opinion what would you consider the most durable of natural handle materials. Cattle bone, deer stag or hardwood like hickory or walnut?

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@NGMountains Great question! Hardwoods are probably the most durable, as they are more pliable. Antler would be a close second, then bone. Bone can make some of the prettiest handles to me, but it does crack easily.

[@1anthonybrowning]

What are you using for pin stock for your pivot pins?

[@southernknifehobbyist]

@@1anthonybrowning I buy pin stock from Jantz, a knife-maker supplier. Occasionally I will get brass rods from Hobby Lobby or an Ace Hardware store, but they may only have a few sizes.
