Hello folks! Today I will show you a new restoration project. I restored the Caucasian dagger, which had been lying in the ground for apparently more than a dozen years. And who has already left this world, but hope has not left him. The work was difficult, painstaking and time-consuming. But I did it. Well, let's start the restoration!
First step is to get rid of huge rust growths with a spatula and a vd40. After cleaning large areas of rust, I placed the dagger in a rust remover. After that, I washed, dried and began to clean from deep corrosion with a cord brush and solvent. As soon as the crack was fully opened, I moved on to welding.
The crack was a rotten fuller on the blade. Having welded the seam, I went to the workshop to my friend, where the complement had already welded the crack and forged twice. Not about what kind of hardening, of course, there is no speech. Just saving the blade. During forging, the handle broke off and I welded a new one.
After that, I moved on to the formation of fullers on the blade with the help of an cutting circle and a milling cutter. The fuller cut new ones in place of the old ones on both sides.
I hid the handle in wood, chose oak wood and brass rivets. I also strengthened the handle with a brass clip. Furthermore, I made the dagger sheath out of wood, glued it with natural leather and soldered brass fittings.
Of course, we are not talking about the test, but I returned it to where it will delight visitors for a long time and continue its story. Thank you for your attention and interest. Please share this video and leave your opinion below it.
