Restoring a USA Made Kershaw 1620 Scallion Knife: Repairing the Broken Tip Blade & Spring Assist

[@knivesiguess]

I like that you approach these the same way I approach restoring tools from the 1800s. Get it back to working like new but leaving the history and battle scars on it.

Very nice. I'm sure you know this, but if you don't or anyone else doesn't, you can send your Kershaw knives back to the factory and they will replace the blade for you. It's very, very inexpensive. I have a 20+ year old Leek that I have managed to keep up with. Several years ago, I broke the tip, just like you see in many of your Kershaw finds. I emailed them and asked them about replacing the blade. They said to send it in... I included a note that state that I was doing something stupid with it, certainly prying something and was not asking for warranty assistance. They sent me an email about a week after I sent it to them, said to send them $7 for return shipping and my knife would be on the way back! I got it back and it had a brand new, razor-sharp blade in it. Still carry it everyday.

Thank you for sharing. I like making the new tips. If i didn't enjoy it that much I would probably send them in. Another possible issue with this though, if you send in a USA made Kershaw you would likely get a China made back if they couldn't repair it. Thanks again for sharing and the support!

Nice restore on the Snap On Knife and a very expensive knife if you bought it off the tool truck trust me their prices are insane ... As for listening to the weather forecast Please put it in all your videos i have no issues with it but i was listening to your forecast sounds like you are from Georgia LOL Hey if i am in the Garage doing something i listen to local talk radio i find it relaxing .. BTW i found your Channel by accident and love it so you got another subscriber a HUGE THUMBS UP from Rhode Island

[@theknifedoctor]

Awesome!! I find the weather channel relaxing too. It helps keep me focused. I'm glad you're here and i hope I don't disappoint. Thanks for watching!

[@tbarto100]

Hello, I enjoyed your videos but just wondering why you listen to the weather forecast all day?

[@theknifedoctor]

I’m sorry. I just enjoy listening to it. Is it annoying to you? If so I won’t do it anymore. Thanks. I always welcome feedback.

[@tbarto100]

@@theknifedoctor it is kind of annoying but don’t change because of me. I thought you were a weatherman or something?
