Rusty Swiss Army Knife Left To Rot...Knife Restoration!

[@Redrik811]

These knives are made from stainless steel. Apparently the knife was deliberately immersed in acid. Blades made of the best steel remained almost intact and corrosion appeared on the spacers.

[@WrenB111]

i noticed that.

[@Loran6772]

Je pense exactement la même chose; un couteau suisse ne rouille pas. Je pense qu'il y a supercherie et qu'un procédé chimique spécifique a été utilisé pour obtenir un tel niveau de corrosion !!!

[@khalsasikhpunjabda]

Is a fake

[@natsterjam]

100% agree!!! So many of these vids are set up and made to look worse with some inventive rust action. Nearly every single one is clearly fresh/new rust clearly induced! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the restoration but find the fakery to be extremely dishonest and not required.

[@serphvarna4154]

Exactly

[@Eagle48]

How did those aluminum liners get rusty?

[@filouphilippe7680]

Lol ...and how stainless steel 1.4110 get rusted lol

[@Plutopongovideos]

It's fake

[@Eagle48]

@@Plutopongovideos Gee! Ya think so?!😏

[@Plutopongovideos]

@@Eagle48 yeah

[@Plutopongovideos]

Some more reasons the video was faked is because the aluminum and plastic on the knife are "rusted" and the stainless steel which sometimes has chromium on it to protect it and make it shinier and chromium DOES NOT RUST also the knife was kept in jeans which he would probably find the knife sooner before it was "rusted"

[@wolfkremen]

I have seen one of these knives found in an excavation of a wet garbage dump. Stainless steel was intact.

[@NLSkooch]

I have run Victorinox Swiss army knives through the wash many times and they do not rust.

[@luigiprovencher]

There's no way that's a real Swiss Army knife. They're made of Aluminum and Stainless steel and wouldn't rust like that.

[@Steaknstuff]

he put it in acid

[@kdailey4315]

Pretty cool that it was left abandoned to rust with all items fanned out so you could see each one.

[@darrellwhite302]

Even the aluminum spacer plates seemed to rust as well.

[@ZoofyZoof]

​@@rvlingWe know this video in particular is fake because these tools simply do not rust. There is also unusual corrosion on it. It was likely soaked in acid.

[@masudashizue777]

How do you get a stainless knife to rust like this?

[@aaroncostello8812]

Fun Fact: Victorinox knives do NOT rust like this when you run them through the washing machine. In fact, I have never had one rust and I have carried and used them for 40 years. 😂😂

[@jamesrichardson771]

How can this be so "Rusty" I always thought the Swiss' had the finest' steel in the world, not to mention stainless steel 🤔

[@lostandrestored]

From the manufacturer: Victorinox Knives are manufactured using Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel has a high resistance to corrosion. However, this does not mean it is resistant to rust or corrosion if not looked after properly. Regular cleaning and oiling are important for your Swiss Army Knife to function properly. I can email the owner of the knife and ask them how it got this rusty. What we can see is a lot of surface rust that points to neglect.

[@laurentdevaux5617]

​@@lostandrestoredEven if you leave it outside for a year, a genuine Swiss knife will NEVER rust. At worst, the plastic grips may decay, but nothing more.

[@matthewjones6010]

The liners are rusty as fuck. Please explain to me how aluminium gets rusty….? Obviously faked for this video.

[@filouphilippe7680]

It can not lol ...except if you paint it in rusty orange. That's why nobody has seen 1.4110 steel so rusty before this fake lol

[@terrygreene1395]

Aluminum doesn’t rust…..but it does oxidize I think and get a white powdery crust. So I think that is legit.

[@etherealbolweevil6268]

A few years I spotted one in a seawater rock pool. Fairly recently lost. Washing in clean water, several times. Bit of metal polish on a rag for the metalwork, and oil on the joints. Good as new.

[@shrug53]

Did not know plastic could rust 🤣🤣🤣

[@MyName-nx1jj]

I was going to call BS on this but, I've detected for years, and this looks very much like items I've found in the red clay soil of California's gold country. I've found plenty of stainless items - flatware, fishing lures, etc. - that look just like this knife. You'd swear it was rust but it's just the iron oxide from the soil deposited on the item. The way the "rust" layer comes off and reveals a shiny, unpitted surface is totally consistent with what I've found.

[@HauntedCJ]

Wow, even celedor plastic scales were rusted. So genuine.

[@garymucher4082]

Nice. This is very odd. I found one today going through my 3 year deceased dad's cigar box and it is in pristine condition...

[@fireymkb1234]

It was stored in a different environment than this one anything can change depending on where it is

[@Dragon64646]

Victorinox are the best. Still made in Switzerland (Ibach) 🇨🇭If you treat them well, they can be used for decades. Sharpen from. time to time, but not too often.

[@spacepope87]

​@fireymkb1234 The plastic scales and aluminum spacers shouldn't have that rust. Also the steel is super stainless. There's not way it would rust like that unless if left under water for a decade.

[@PapousWebNode]

I had many of Victorinox/Wenger knives. It could never get so rusty. This video is definitely fake.

[@criomat]

I agree. Stainless steel can't get rusty.

[@alexanderalbach468]

Victorinox has a lifetime guarantee. Complete restoration is not expensive either.

[@khoaptran]

No way, I have a 25 year old Swiss knife (previously daily use for about 5 years) that wound up just sitting in a box and it had built up mildly rusted blades, nowhere near bad looking as this one in the video. Well, when these 'stainless steel' blades rust, they are not just surface rust that you can wipe off. It is pitted into the blade and leaves craters in the blade after detailed cleanup. You'll have a scar face blade, not a perfectly smooth blade. This knife is staged.

[@michaelthomsen4919]

Agreed. I have had several of those knives and they could never ever end up like this one ... even the aluminium is rusty on this one. Fake.

[@davidm4270]

Pretty neat trick to get stainless steel to rust & to such a degree.

​@user-ff4qz7iz6w It's a WORKCHAMP. Made by Victorinox in 1983. They were available with black or red grips. I've got the one with black grips, which I guess is rare. (Everyone wanted the "red one"... 😉)

Its impossible for victorinox steel to rust like this normally, this knife has obviously been setup to be in that state, probably using chemicals. Also notice how all the rust is only superficial meaning the rust is recent, no rust in the moving joints either

[@stevewilliams2895]

everyones talking about how "the steel never rusts that bad" and are skipping over the fact that the aluminium liners and the PLASTIC SCALES ARE RUSTED

[@StuHutString]

Found a half buried swiss army knife in the bush last weekend. I'm trying to restore it but it is in very bad conditions. The blades are okish but the internal steel is disintegrating. It must of been half buried for many years.

[@OrwellwasaProphet]

Looks like this fakeo got called out by the audience. Was going to point out that Victorinox SAK's are made from 420J2 steel. A steel that is known in the industry for it's resistance to corrosion. It would take an elaborate mixture of rust inducing chemicals to produce that much scale. As others have mentioned, the lack of deep pitting and damage to the steel is also telling.

Great job on the restoration. Im just curious why you didnt send it into Victoriainox it has a lifetime guarantee on it and customer service here in the usa told me even if something was outside of warranty such as worn out by years of use they would onky charge a small amount to fix it all ,replace broken pieces and such . They said that some things on the alox series might have to be sent to the factory in Switzerland to be fixed and could have a four month turn around time .

[@PhillipStu09]

So i have a few knives of Victorinox and i only have one with matte scales. And i don't know why it has those. (Im suspecting that it is because it's made for the army, so the matte rough scales don't shine and aren't glossy.) And i have never seen another knive with matte/rough scales, that look like mine. And your knife seems to have some. So pls let me know if i'm right or not.
