When I was a kid, my grandmother, who had a lot of grandsons, thought every boy ought to own and know how to use a pocket knife. While helping her on the farm, I needed my pocket knife numerous times daily. I’m now 67 years old and still always carry a good pocket knife. She usually wound up buying Hammer Brand knives on her trips to town because they were affordable and good quality, I still have one now. Thanks, Dave, you made me smile.

Try prep n’ etch at Home Depot. It’s phosphoric acid and will clean that up easily with less sanding. Use an old tooth brush you will be amazed. I just cleaned up a WWII navy rope knife. Looks awesome and kept the patina. Used my work sharp with a strop, it slices phone book pages like a hot knife through butter. Next, oil like you do. Please try, you will love the method. Rinse well with hot water and then use WD40 to disperse water, as it was designed to. Have tools restored that are 100 years old from my great grandfather. They don’t make tools nearly as well as they did back then. Love your channel!

My grandpa gave me a whole bunch of great little pocket tools over the years, several antique but pristine pocketknives, my first real belt-carried "deer knife", his beautiful Korean War-carried zippo with a big jewelled coat of arms of our family on the front, and a little double barrel .45 derringer when I was a kid. I was way too trusting as a kid and often had lots of friends come over to my house to spend the night and have parties and stuff. One night I had a buddy come over with a kid tagging along behind him I didn't really know that well but had seen around at daycare/middle school throughout the years. I will never forget the morning I woke up and my friend's "friend" had left already...but not before he cleaned out the entire knife / keepsake chest I kept on my dresser, as well as almost all my video games. I think he must have been moving soon or something, and took the opportunity to rob me blind beforehand because I never saw that kid or my stuff again. Years later now that my grandfather is long gone it breaks my heart that some little POS kid stole his things I had to remember him by.

I’ll make another suggestion you might appreciate: next time you come across a beat up shell handle knife, pop the shells off and knock the pivot pins out of the frame. Completely clean all of the liners and springs and the blades to bare metal. Use the liners as a template on some of your exotic hardwoods and pin the knife back together and profile down the handles. You’ll have a totally clean and rebuilt knife with nice wood handles vs old celluloid covered sheet metal. 👍

Hi Dave, you are a man of patience and with attention to detail. Last year, I restored a knife from 1980s and one from mid 1990s. I used Freeze Off by CRC, and it got most of the rust off, as well as restored much of the snap. I also used a warm bath of dish washing soap solution for cleaning out residue with a nylon brush. I used a ceramic sharpener for the blades, and lubricated the joints with oil for electric hair clippers. I gave the larger knife to my younger brother and I kept the SAK style knife for myself.

Dave I have a remedy I use for cast iron skillets you may like. I put a couple of cups of Arm and Hammer super detergent in a topless steel barrel. Fill it halfway with water. Lay a board across the top and attach a copper wire long enough to go into the water and center it. I would attach the eye of the skillet to this wire. Take a manuel battery charger and clip the positive to the wire with the skillet. Clip the negative to the barrel rim. A couple of amps for a day or two will take the buildup off the metal. I wirewheeled the skillet until it looks new and season it. This should clean any metal like a knife or handtool. I made a lot of money reconditioning old cast iron and reselling it too. Just make sure not to short out the center circuit against the barrel while charging.
