It’s obvious that the reason why the Naval Jelly didn’t work because the bayonet was made for the Army….😉

This video was just a 10 minute love story about a man and his letter opener.

[@aukula1062]

Great video! It is in fact an M4 bayonet produced by the Case knife company for the U.S. military. The M4 was for use on the M1 carbine. Early WW2 carbines lacked a bayonet lug and the M3 fighting knife was issued instead of a bayonet. Late war and subsequent refurbishment of M1 carbines post war added a bayonet lug. The M3 blade profile was adopted for the M4 bayonet. We kept that blade profile for the M5A1 (new production M1 Garand bayonet), M6 (M14) and the M7 (M16A1 and M16A2). Why would a civilian have a bayonet? Bayonet collecting is a hobby all by itself. Here in the U.S. we can own firearms. Some folks will get a significant military firearm and collect all the issue accoutrements that were issued to troops. Slings, cleaning kits, holsters, etc.

Nice work , your efforts paid off. This looked great when it was done.

[@MASI_forging]

The handel looks good. Great work.

[@PerfectRestore]

Wonderful work! I advise everyone to watch the work of the master! Interesting and fascinating! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@klwdesigns]

Nice job! And the comedic adds were appreciated as well. I'm hoping to restore my own USM4, your video gives me instruction and inspiration.

[@marklammas2465]

Don't drink your sludge neat. We don't want you to start using the bayonets. Mix it with the pink stuff. The "Pink Restorer" cocktail!

[@glarrymoreme]

The handle was nicely done 👍

[@excessive8314]

Mood is important. And you have 12 toes. That's the 2 important things in this video.

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful restoration mister good job well done

[@plankman6408]

Have you ever considered getting a dry ice blaster for cleaning off the rust?

[@mikebetts5532]

beautiful knife, well done and your humor is awesome too.⛏️⚒️🛠️🔧🔨👍

[@geraldstamour1312]

Rather unique way to honor those who served!

[@johnfix5]

Love seeing these wonderful old things lovingly restored and brought back to life. The attention to detail and trying to keep it authentic is what appeals to me the most.

[@zou6492]

Another great and beatiful restoration. Congratulations and greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪🖐️

[@npfrestoration]

Great job

[@user-dz8dg6ey8g]

Чётко сработано, реставрация класс. Спасибо за видос, лайк.

[@ElizabethFranquiEsq]

I'm a big fan, and the struggle to get this apart was real. I didn't get the Monday-Dilbert reference.

[@andrzejporeda7281]

Świetnie jest odrestałrowana ten cały nuż pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍

[@suejenkins6005]

Absolutely love your videos your banter makes me laugh and the restorations are brilliant best wishes love sue and Andy 👵🏻🐶🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿♥️❤xx

You need to play music to get that pink slime to start bubbling

[@GT_Racer347]

You're a riot. Great style. 👌🤓

[@wuprrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

nice powder rust. no wait paint dust.

[@carrestore]

good job 👍👍👍👍

[@user-br3ou2cs9o]

Project Farm (KZbin Channel) did a rusty nuts and bolts test in 2018. He used heat, homemade mixture of acetone/transmission fluid and various penetrating oils you can purchase at stores or online. $4.00 can of "Liquid Wrench" won the competition. Next time maybe soak the object in "Liquid Wrench" for a while before trying to separate the components. How long is best? IDK 😁

[@re-fix9678]

Good

[@divineglitch9550]

whats the spring mechanism used for?

[@jamesdolan5236]

To attach the bayonet to the rifle

[@divineglitch9550]

@@jamesdolan5236 of course!! thanks

Are you ok that was a lot of minerals you drank

[@darlong9917]

reproduction usually sold for collections

[@jamesdolan5236]

Usually sold for people who can't afford to buy the original or who want to use it for reenactments.

[@paolopicarella5536]

[@luckyrashes]

Thought about a sand blaster?

[@Tokoto952]

What is naval jelly supposed to do?

[@dougadams9419]

Rust remover.

[@Tokoto952]

Ah

[@Garyhitch56]

What was the pink stuff?

[@user-ol4nd4fl1b]

naval jelly - expired rust remover

[@dougadams9419]

Not a knife, it's a Bayonet for a rifle. The M4 bayonet was introduced in 1944 for use with the M1 carbine. It was built on the M3 fighting knife.

[@matthiasbisessar8137]

hey mister if you had a special video that has bayonet make one for my birthday on 14 of july please

Very good restoration, I always wondered why you wore gloves? Now I know your a Yank.

[@dougadams9419]

Reproductions of the M4 Bayonet are less expensive than and original, and can be used on the M1 Carbine rifle that collectors may have. Personally, I would only buy an original WWII Bayonet for my M1 Garand, no reproductions.

That's not a M-4 knife it's a M-4 bayonet for the M-1 carbine the knife you are thing of is the M-3 it had a different palmal to the M-4 and the garud didn't have a muzzle ring

[@runarja]

You make same mistake as others. Gun blue is not aplied in just one coat. After first coat,rub with rough cloth and than aply another layer. After 4 or 5 layers it gets black like its factory made.

[@jrherpin]

The sludge drink was stupid and dangerous, now some kid watching this will try it because the guy on you tube did it!

[@jendrarambharos4379]

I hope the Dilbert reference and support isn't what I think it is. The Dilbert comic has been disgraced and pulled from nearly all publications after the creator went on a racist rant. The deliberate acknowledgement and prominent placement of the Dilbert comic implies support of said comic and creator, and I honestly hope that wasn't the intention.

[@pfadiva]

Maybe this was filmed before Scott Adams stuck his foot in his mouth up to his hip.

[@jendrarambharos4379]

​@@pfadiva timing is suspicious, I don't recall him ever including a dilbert comic in any other video.

[@lostandrestored]

I filmed the video a week before. It has nothing to do with that guy.

@@lostandrestored I don't really care what your thoughts are on any political topic,that's not why I watch your videos,secondly you don't have to explain yourself to jendra,me or anybody else

[@jamesdolan5236]

You would do better to use an acid brush and paint on the navel jelly rather than trying to soak things in it.

[@ApoorwVikramDwivedi]

This was a waste of time, at least mine if not yours. I think it was a waste of your time too though. You've done so much better in the past. Didn't seem serious about this one.

[@mitchellbush4145]

Why are you wearing gloves

[@Alfie-mauriceCassar]

why did you say 12 toes

[@stanleycarlock5624]

Dang, you are so hilarious...just a barrel of laughs...not!
