Rebuilding a 100 Year Old Knife + Historic Zippo Lighters!

[@78Fish-Hawk]

Thanks for showing the community my Dad's Zippos he was immensely proud of them and was proud to have served his country. He served in the Navy and navy reserves from 1966-1986 or so. then worked at a federal facility in northeast Alabama for another 20 plus years. He loved his country to say the least. He is probably smiling knowing that other people appreciates his relics and understands the meaning of them.

I think it’s amazing that you honored Mr. Elmer and the fact that a subscriber was able to find that information.

[@WoodsmanHobo777]

I tried doing the same in the original video with that service man's Zippo and looked up the name Barnett instead of Burnett and posted a comment with the wrong veteran and his details. I tried doing a good deed and ended up doing a disservice. My apologies.

[@RuggedCrosKnives]

You done an amazing thing by honoring Elmer and his service to this Country!!! thank you

[@DeadCelt]

Looks great Doc. Nothing like seeing an old knife looking serviceable again.

[@southernfrostbite]

Wow I’m from Barbourville Ky, did not know of Mr. Elmer. I’ll have to ask my family. Thank you for honoring him, and all you do! I enjoy watching your videos each night. Thank you, God bless !

[@kenbates1354]

Awesome video! What a great way to bring recognition to and to honor Mr. Burnett.

[@radar468]

Great fix on the Boker, the Zippos are just awesome. Very nice!

[@shoppinforprofit1068]

Once again, astonishing work. Turned out even better than I would have thought. Thank you Mr Kevin!

[@shoppinforprofit1068]

And I only paid $5. It had to be rescued and revived by the Doc!

[@theknifedoctor]

@@shoppinforprofit1068 Thank you buddy!

[@cliffordmaynard6559]

Those Zippos are awesome and great job on the knife Doc it looks great.

[@garyb.4080]

I was TAD to Sousa Bay for five months, beautiful place, wonderful people, 1968 U. S. Navy!

[@78Fish-Hawk]

Those were my dad's zippos featured today. Every lighter was somewhere he had been or a ship he went to while in the navy. He was a crew man on a grumman C1- trader. He was drafted in 1966

[@TimothyCibula-vh5ip]

Great tribute lighting for Mr Burnett. Awesome work on the boker very cool

[@NorthGeorgiaKnives]

As always enjoy watching you work. Good video and like those lighters too.

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Amazing Awesome Museum is coming together . So much great gifts and contributions from people. It would be cool to make tiny small wood or ? Plaques with the people’s names that contributed- so as they would be remembered! If I recall sometimes back you were gifted a box full of Knife springs & blades,pins etc. larger springs or spring steel material can be carefully modified/ground shaped to make a replacement spring for that 100 year old knife ! Would been cool to keep both Blades. Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@theknifedoctor]

@@CuttingEdgetools there isn’t a plaque large enough. Thanks for the suggestions.

[@CuttingEdgetools]

@ not one big plaque- small personal acknowledgment placed with the item.

[@GregWilmoth]

Love this video! And the history of the lighter! Great video!

[@theodorehowe2262]

What a great gift of those Zippo lighters Good job on the knife repair 😊

[@Terry-b5p]

Hey doc. Speaking of broken knife springs, a replacement spring can be made from an old skilsaw blade. No tempering necessary. I hope this helps on future repairs. Keep up the good work doc.❤

[@theknifedoctor]

@@Terry-b5p hello sir. I doubt I ever do that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[@bradoverbey4470]

Received my event knife! Thank You it is Awesome!

[@DaveAntes]

Mr Kevin World Famous Knife Doctor What a honor to Mr Burnett I got a chill when you lit his lighter amen

[@KB3UKTKB3ULN]

Such a great job and sharing the history of those zippo lighter God Bless

[@larsmenefee7649]

I got chills when you light that lighter. You are a awesome person.

[@yorick9053]

Awesome video, I've also got a Zippo that's dated 1951-1952 and has the name W.J.Laub on it. The ship on the Zippo is the U.S.S. Pittburgh CA 72. And on the back it has mediterranean cruise 1953, with all the places they went to. Would be awesome to find some information about the person that served on that ship, but haven't had much luck myself yet. If someone could help me out that would be awesome, also to restore the history of this person and lighter.

[@timduffey5431]

love two lnto one conversions! years from now they will confuse the hek out of future collectors trying to look them up lol

[@reggieheidelberg2363]

Brother you had my eyes leaking when you lit Mr Burnett's Zippo up!

[@stephenjeffrey75]

Fantastic knife surgery! 👍💯

[@MarkGarner-f9n]

Great video. My favorites videos are the rebuild ones like the one today. I received my 2024 Ellaville Show knife yesterday. It’s really nice. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@howardkayecrabyman]

Kevin you did a good job 👏 👍 on the queen. Be safe and GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙏

[@kenhall3937]

great video

[@RogueBlade-w5]

Yo, Doc... Awesome work on that old Boker. I love them old long pull, swedged blades. Truely saved a gem there. I seen a knife repairer use a $5 windshield repair kit from Amazon to hide & stabilize bone, acrylic, MOP & all kind of handle cracks disappear, it worked on a vintage 9333 Case xx pearl handle for me, ☠Rogue...out

[@cliffordmaynard6559]

My Dad was a Korean War Veteran, I hope to find a Zippo with his Cruiser on it, USS ALBANY CA 123, that would be a great find for me.

[@michaelespinosa8905]

Another awesome video

[@casexx94]

Great video. Check that Slim date code again on back of card. Think it’s older than you mentioned?

[@RuggedCrosKnives]

Man you done great on the knife repair, I would like to own that knife if he wants to get rid of it!!!

[@KenHall-m9t]

Thank you for sharing the video. Enjoyed it very much very heart touching. I think you should let that cigarette lighter original would be nice if you could find somebody to copy that lighter very interesting. Once again really enjoyed your video one other question what size pins and drillbit are you using for them? Pen knives

[@DavidHodkinson-ps1cb]

Nice job doc 🗡

[@RuggedCrosKnives]

love the zippos, those things are awesome!!!

[@davidstalter6006]

Not sure Kevin, if you noticed??? But when you opeded up that very 1st Zippo lighter, smoke came out of that lighter when the lid opened.... WOW... THAT WAS A SIGN FROM CHRIS' FATHER..Just saying. 🙏👍 GREAT VIDEO BUDDY

[@DavidHodkinson-ps1cb]

Yes I noticed that thought the same 🔥

[@78Fish-Hawk]

Your reply made me cry. My dad cherished those old zippos. I've known of them my whole life but wouldn't let me touch them they meant so much to him. He passed in August 2024. He went to every ship or country on those zippos. I have no one to leave anything like that to. Glad the world could see his prized possessions.

[@davidstalter6006]

God bless you my buddy.. I believe whole heartedly that that was a sign of him showing himself... I'm a FERM believer of things like this... I've seen them before... That's why it was so obvious to me... Thanks for the comment and God bless you and your family... 🙏♥️✌️✝️

[@markgallagher9]

Enjoyed the video Doc. Just wondering why you never fail to call Michael Hale “World Famous”.

[@theknifedoctor]

Because he’s World Famous.

[@markgallagher9]

@ I figured that there might be a big tale to back that up. lol 😂

[@bruceowens3258]

Outstanding, U-Rah !!! 😊 Great video DOC... I love a Boker knife 🔪 If you want, ? I would be happy to trade y'all a knife For this ol' Boker. Yes sir ! Semper Fi Marine 🗡️🪖... Really love what you've done 👍....

[@10gaugeTroy]

Good afternoon everyone!!!!

[@MH-pz2wi]

Hey Doc...your repair on the Boker sorta reminded me of some of pulling teeth/pins...Knife Dentist??🤔

[@TrevorWilson-g4l]

Are the bear&son otf knives good for the price?

[@southernblades2139]

Almost first comment!😂 love the vids as always doc!

[@hokeywolf8434]
