I bought a Ka-Bar knife back in the late 80's and carried it during hunting season. When my son joined the Marines as a rifleman (0311), I gave it to him before his first deployment.

[@geraldstamour1312]

Thanks for your son's service, @russhoffman6301!

[@robertupchurch9639]

I number the spacers and washers on the same corner and side with a sharpie. You can get a KABAR leather handle rebuild kit that includes the steel guard, pommel, and pommel pin.

Put chalk dust in your files when using them with Aluminium, it stops them getting clogged

[@luckyrashes]

Is there a reason to remove rest manually when you have a sandblaster? Legit question, I'm just getting into sandblasting and it seems like it's the better route most of the time. And of course I'm not talking about the mess and clean up and everything, just the results

[@ianhobbs4984]

Take a rusty old KA-BAR to a thing of beauty, Worth a lot to a collector no doubt.

[@mikeflight9]

Brilliant work. I was wondering why you never kept a shine on it, then I remembered it is a military object and the shine would give your position away. I enjoyed this one a lot. 👌👍👍

[@butthedd0233]

FYI.The shoe wax can be lit and will burn. A few seconds leave liquid wax much easier to apply. Great job.

[@thecreativecardinalbyl.bet7012]

I had a knife custom forged and built in a K-Bar style using shrapnel and funeral bullets from my father who served in WWII

[@doukdouk2550]

Wow! That sounds super awesome, would love to see it!

Yes. 1095 steel. Military issue. Awesome.

Excellent restoration and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@lisapino6739]

Great job. The handle is incredible. The finished knife is absolutely amazing. ❤ My dads nickname was Rusty because he had red hair. Your cat is beautiful 😊

[@aminullah2628]

In the early 80s I was in the British Army, I swapped a Army jumper with an American soldier for K Bar k ife. I still have that knife I bet he doesn't have the jumper ❤🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@shimoda567]

Where did you find it?

[@vinceianni4026]

Beautiful knife beautiful restoration well done

[@CJ_7519]

Nice restoration, and a cute kitty to boot👍🔪😼!!!

[@tygrkhat4087]

Yes, I've been to Olean, NY. I attended St. Bonaventure University in the late 70s-early 80s. Bona is roughly 4 miles east of Olean. Although, my Ka-Bar was made in Camillus, NY; which is a suburb of Syracuse.

[@AmazingThings685]

amazing restoration

Thank you, my dear, very beautiful

Good work, & Rusty is very cute!

Great work !!

When you pointed to the map, you can clearly see the greater Toronto area. I'm from there, Hamilton in particular, born and raised.

[@sandoe41]

After watching this several times, I think this is showing 2 different knives. At the beginning of the video a pick is used to scrape rust out of the stamp marks, showing bright steel, then suddenly it shows a knife with the stamp marks filled with rust.

[@andreawolfe4998]

Whats the stuff you put on the blade to darken it?

[@gustavoulloque2798]

Que capo..! Excelente...!

[@lawrenceforman6999]

I’m sure USMC officers are so impressive of your work!!! Great Knifemaker 🔪 I believe Bulldog 🐶 want to be friend with your favorite cat 😺 Unbelievable…..knife is very cool style!! Perhaps, soldiers want to meet you and will discuss for your fabulous knife 🔪 Great job!!! SEMPER FI……🪖

Another great video. 😃😃

[@re-fix9678]

good😘😘

[@MarrockV]

I have several Ka-Bars and seeing one in that initial condition cause me some small amount of physical pain...

[@robertryden8036]

HA HA the Kabar spirits don't like aluminum.

[@tomswindler64]

Very nice 👍👍👍😎😎😎

No Bud Lite cans crushed?

[@lostandrestored]

You have to buy them to crush them.

“It’s perfect”

[@gayle525]

Don’t you add salt or washing soda to your water to remove the rust?

He probably had enough left from letting the previous solution evaporate. You can see a white residue in the bottom.

[@cathybenson5119]

Why was it called a ka-bar knife. Where did the name originate from?

[@timothyvongalii937]

According to KA-bar lore, they had a different name way back in frontier times, and got a letter from a satisfied customer, saying it could probably “kill a bear” if it needed to. The writer of the letter was barely literate, so came off as “kill a bar” or “ka a bar” and they took “Ka-bar” as their name

[@cathybenson5119]

Thank you, Timothy. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@davidgarcea6228]

I can't believe you consider this a restoration. A truly restored Ka-Bar would have had a parkerized blade, and a steel guard and buttcap. Using aluminum, and bluing the blade rather than parkerizing it is an offense to anybody that ever served in the Marine corps, myself included.

[@dracoQuest]

To treat an imperial army non commissioned officers sword with such disrespect and then to turn around and treat a u s marine k bar knife with such respect Was insulting to both armies

[@datbruck]

Military Grade, aka, lowest bidder

[@mariocosentino20]

Non posso vedere certe cose, lo sapevo che la punta del trapano si sarebbe incastrata alla fine del foro, ha rischiato di tagliarsi i polpastrelli e finire in ospedale. Una morsa piccola per trapano a colonna costa 10 euro non vale la pena di finire all'ospedale. Oppure usate una pinza grip .

[@jeremywreagan]

I absolutely love this! One of my most prized possessions is my grandfather's Ka-Bar. He was a Raider in WW2. It was issued to him just before the battle of Guam in 1944. He did, in fact, use it to kill the enemy.

[@kylebryan4504]

I recognized the crack on the spine. It's either a cold shunt, or a delamination. Which means the knife was not heat treated or forged properly during production. It's not an end of the world issue overall, but it would be good not to put excessive force on it, so it doesn't snap. Otherwise, it's a perfect piece😊

[@robertcornelius3514]

Most likely made by a foreign maker. Thousands were probably thrown away because of that split.

[@KrispyBizcut]

I gotta say boo on that messed up handle... The blade looks amazing but that handle... Ugh

[@verngfeller3906]

That’s a nice knife & sheath thanks for bringing it to us great work as always 👍

I liked your dumb joke, brought back memories of basic training. Hooah, lol!

[@KABARKnives1898]

That was great to watch. Excellent work!

[@ZackPvalta]

That looks just like a delamination. I watch way too much forged in fire. I have no idea how it would have a delam or a quench crack thought.

[@Der-Tiffmeister]

At min 3:12 I think thats called delamination; it basically means the layers of metal that make up the knife are pulling apart.

[@robertcornelius3514]

Careful. A lot of corrupt DAs out there who would do an illegal bust to have that knife. Sad but true.
