When trying to break those stuck blades loose, depress the closed blade first. The spring should give, and allow the blade to move just a bit. That should make it easier to pull it open.

[@Leigh1174]

So nice to see and hear a regular guy restore something. I am over these almost robotic guys that clearly copy each other, turns me off! Thanks for the human touch.

[@DirtandRust]

Hey Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that :]👍...thanks for watching the Vid!

[@m.w.wilson234]

I've got that old kabar, inherited it from my father who always carried a pocket knife with him, even though he was an accountant.

[@DirtandRust]

Very Cool!👍👍..and thanks for watching the vid!

[@freshjerseyprepper8847]

Maybe add Baking Soda to Vinegar for 1st step, then the oil to pull them apart.

[@cynthiacooper8288]

My Dad’s knife was like the black knife. I know he had it in the 50s for his pipe cleaning and whittling.

[@DirtandRust]

That's Very Cool Cynthia :] Thanks for Sharing

[@357magdad]

Great job D&R! You're gonna have to ask Santa for some Evapo-Rust! I would be happy to carry that Ka-Bar, pits and all!

[@DirtandRust]

TY Bud!...yes indeed.. That Ka-bar might my next EDC...I'm going to write a letter to Santa and hope for the best :]

[@kenlewis1374]

Try soaking the knife in liquid wrench or maybe PB Blaster for a couple of days.

[@garykyriakos9408]

Turned out to be real dapper after all

[@tripplebeards3427]

A good couple day soak of Vinegar right off the bat imo

[@mikemoavero3518]

I found an old pocket knife metal detecting and it was RUSTED. I just toik my time like you and finaly got the bladeas open. From that point, i was good. Great video, it really helped me in my process.

[@DirtandRust]

That's so cool...good to hear you persevered 👍

[@augustobh1]

One of the most harrowing videos I've seen to date. My God, how much agony with that knife locked away... Congratulations on moving on! Cheers from Brazil 🙏

[@DirtandRust]

😄 he he...that was an agonizing process for sure! ...thanks for watching! Cheers Bud!

[@davedoughty1213]

That was quite a project!!! I felt myself struggling with you to get the knife to open!! They look great… most importantly, they’re sharp!! Great job!!

[@DirtandRust]

Thanks Much appreciated Dave!! 👍 .. sorry to put you through all that hehe :] 😄

[@johndagostino2451]

When blades are that rusted best to put on flat bit of wood spring side down and tap blades with branch then soak in vinegar interesting video greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 🇮🇹🦊🐾

[@Wintermute0168]

Heat and Vibration!

[@grizzlycountry1030]

Penetrating oil is my go to. I spray knife down and put it in a bowl (Just to catch run off) for couple hours. Never failed me yet.

[@DirtandRust]

Good info..Thanks Grizz!....need shop for some pentrating oil for sure :]

[@sickstuff7624]

Agree, penetrating oil does the trick every time.

[@kimderrick7796]

WD-40.. works miracles

[@vtxdaryl]

I think I would have washed both 8n hot soapy water, then soaked them in oil before I went any further. I need to go to a flea market now but I’m not ready for that much rust. You did a great job staying with the restoration. Thanks.

[@DirtandRust]

Cool..Thanks for Watching Carlton and best of luck at the Flea-Market 👍🙂

[@rickyhurtt5568]

I'd have probably started by throwing the Zep knife away. Kabar is pretty interesting

[@essentialhandyman]

Excellent job. Like the way you didn’t give up.

[@DirtandRust]

Thanks a lot Much appreciated!...had to see it through for sure :] ...TFW!!

[@willjohnson6854]

I appreciate that you didn’t give up on the Zeb knife. 😊🐊

[@DirtandRust]

I appreciate you watching..TY👍

[@ScoutCrafter]

Nice job! They were toast!!!!!

[@DirtandRust]

He he :] TY Buddy!!

[@KnifeDetector]

I love it when you do these videos man!! Also, the background music is awesome! You had me going there for a bit when you switched the knives :) Tremendous transformation!! Thanks buddy!

[@DirtandRust]

Thanks KD!! Much appreciated Bud:] he he:] I was wondering if lil trick would work :] Thanks for watching Take care

[@rickyhurtt5568]

Well I guessed right. I thought either imperial or Sabre. Have to give you credit. Don't think I'd went thru that for the Zep knife but would love to have the imperial. I'm amazed how sharp they were

[@brushfirehail]

A fairly effective alternative to evaporust is pine sol. Heard it from an older fella once. I tried it in an ultrasonic cleaner like you have.

[@DirtandRust]

Very Interesting!..TY...I'll have to look into trying that in the future...appreciate the info :]

[@xDooksx]

I use it in cleaning surgical steel that needs to be sterilized. Murthy’s soap or pine-sol work well on cleaning metal.

[@TimpaLinkosling]

Again an increase in service life.

[@DirtandRust]

Yes indeed TY Bro 😁 👍 feels good to get them back to work again 🗡️🛠️

[@TimpaLinkosling]

@@DirtandRust Back to service.

[@DirtandRust]

He he ..yes back to service for sure

[@fishingunboxingsandreveiws7226]

Move a little and oil and repeat

[@d.riprock1546]

Cool. Great job! I couldn't believe you got them looking that good or even open at one point. Right on!

[@DirtandRust]

TY Riprock!...I appreciate it Man :]

[@iduswelton9567]

I have a very old Schrade 3 blade pocket knife that belonged to my grandfather and he used it as his work knife- i think it was bought between 1920 and 1940- on the medallion it says Old Timer- the main and middle blades are badly worn i'd say 75% gone #3 blade was hardly used- i was going to send it back to the manufacture to get new blades but they said NO- and they would keep it and sell me a new one- so i kept the old one and told Schrade what they could do with themselves lmao- ive probably spelt the company name wrong

[@aitorizal7266]

Coca Cola is a great rust remover too. For future projects. I hope you managed to get that one open and clean!

[@DirtandRust]

Thank you!! ...I have used Cola to de-rust before and it does work...your right 👍

[@garrisonh]

Well done brother! You stuck with them and brought them back to life. Happy Holidays! Great camera work too.

[@DirtandRust]

TY Bro!! :]..much appreciated..glad I hung in there for sure ..pretty rewarding to see them back in business :] Happy Holidays to you yours as well take care Bud

[@rickyhurtt5568]

The kabar turned out to be a good looking little knife. Have to admit I didn't know they made small folders like that. Not sure when it was made 60s,70s maybe even 80s

Your best bet is Evapo-Rust

[@DirtandRust]

I'm gonna get some eventually 😁 TFW Gary

[@joehead1294]

I KNEW that zep knife was an Imperial. They always did the scales that way on their cheaper knives. I'd like to know how they got that rusty.

[@DirtandRust]

Good catch Joe👍 I got them together at the Flea-market ...I wonder what their story is as well.

[@ShinyKnife]

Slightly used on eBay lol 😂 good job bro. I have recently picked up a few American made old timers that look like that. I have yet to try and clean them up yet tho.

[@DirtandRust]

LOL..Hey Bud!...thank you!! Long time no see..hope your doing well...best of luck on those Old timers :]

[@user-do5hd7zb4x]

Nice save!

[@johnm.9989]

I think evaporust would have worked well in this case.

[@DirtandRust]

For sure👍...I'm just to cheap to go Buy it...I will give it a try one of these days :]

[@led8541]

For as rusty as they were they turned out ok. took some serious scrubbing to get them there Great video

[@DirtandRust]

Thanks Buddy... I'm glad I didn't give up... lol frustrating at times.. but felt good at the end to get a usable knife 😁

[@juliocazares5190]

Great job

[@DirtandRust]

TY Julio👍

[@sylviacandler5541]

A Super penetrating oil by the name of Free All works well on the joints, not sure about how it will effect plastic.

[@DirtandRust]

Thanks for the tip...i'll keep that in mind for the next project👍

[@weedeatnogreweo7574]

Colonial/ Imperial is you advertising knife even with all those you've shown in past ??

[@durango8882]

Hi new subscriber 👍🏻do you sharpen them to use them? I’m starting out with old pocket knives I got from friends. Can you buff the blades to shine more? I use a Dremel to clean them but it does scratch the blades so I use 1000 grit then a little polish, I’m a total amateur lol so I’m learning but it’s fun just for me. Thanks 🎄Merry Christmas 🎄

[@DirtandRust]

Thanks for the Sub Durango I appreciate it. I'd start by getting any of the crud out out from under where the blades set...you can use canned air or maybe a pipe cleaner, then go over it with some mineral oil use a old t-shirt or something...you might find you like the look of it after a light cleaning. If not us can use a dremel and abrasive discs to polish more...then get a sharpening stone and learn how to use it (lots of vids on KZbin for that) Best of luck with your Knife!!

[@robertwagner1079]

Go get Blaster ...It is an Oil Treatment ...Better then WD-40 ...

[@DirtandRust]

Thanks 👍 I'll check it out 🛠🔨🔪

[@cathybenson5119]

Try Evaporust

[@andrewc9790]

Did you degrease them before putting them in the vinegar bath? The WD40 will protect the rust, preventing the vinegar from doing its job.

[@DirtandRust]

Good Call! I don't think I did degrease...need to remember that for next time :]👍

[@andrewc9790]

@@DirtandRust I typically start with dish soap and hot water to degrease and remove any dirt, then vinegar, then oil and scrubbing. Cool videos 👍

[@shubhankarpaul4554]

Kerosine

[@randyzinn548]

Is that white vinegar?

[@DirtandRust]

Its just cheap white Vinegar..I buy it by the gallon at the grocery store👍

[@randyzinn548]

@DirtandRust ok thank you, I'll give it a try

[@lawrencefranck9417]

There is penetrating oil that will dissolve rust on contact available at auto parts stores. Liquid wrench and kroil dissolve rust on contact. WD40 is worthless

[@DirtandRust]

Ok Cool! Thanks for the Tip much appreciated👍

[@nolanharris4088]

Would you sell the k bar If so how much

Sorry Bud🤐... it's a keeper 🗡️🛠️

Oxidation...Probably someone just left it outside in the elements. Metal surfaces with Iron don't do to well when water or moisture is Present for long periods of time.
