So happy to have stumbled upon you channel, so soothing to watch. Curious if you guys have PB Blaster or other similar penetrating oil in Germany. I use it in lots a spots for rusted and seized hardware when wd-40 isn't the best choice

[@bgbthabun627]

please send me the knife Also No to WAR

[@Meg_A_Byte]

Give it out to patrons.

[@Sooch694]

I enjoy your videos. You did a great job on the knife. I couldn't re assemble it if my life depended on it. Nice work.

[@javanthomas4122]

When is the drawing for the knife.

[@jcior]

I did not expect to watch all 19 minutes of this. But I did in fact watch all 19 minutes of this

[@Baetzibaer]

So much unpretentiousness ... 🥴

[@walterevans9401]

What wonderful work? Really enjoyed watching. Thanks 😊.

[@walterevans9401]

Disregard question mark

[@walterevans9401]

Just amazing

[@philmastman2490]

Not only are your restorations amazing, I must compliment you on the quality of your video production. Camera work, lighting and editing are impeccable.

[@drew64inTX]

Great restoration You sir, are very talented.

[@masterk5372]

Right

[@marianitosan9759]

It’s a fake

[@andrewsteinberg7103]

not a fake, Ive done it with hand tools, no expensive machinery@@marianitosan9759

[@susanmcmasterson956]

Wow, that’s sharp! Never use this to stab your classmates or little kitties and puppies to death. Ok, kids? I feel like that’s definitely the lesson here.

[@OfficialSparklyPig]

When I was a child, I was playing with a Swiss knife of my fathers'. I had not handled one before. I had the main blade out, and went to close it, and it was hard to close. It finally flipped closed - directly onto my thumb! I still have the scar now at age 38. I love your channel and work and beer reviews, it is a fun combination and I always look forward to your next video.

[@bitsnail]

Wow, beautiful. Usually old knife restorations look tacky or off somehow, but I think you nailed it making it look personal but still classic.

[@Dungeon_Nick]

A lot of restoration videos are faked

[@panatteri]

Actually, I think it is you who is supporting the many of us as you transport us into a realm of craft, care with materials - with positive messages of longevity and giving new life into these projects as the present themselves. Thank you.

[@NTRprojects]

This gave me goosebumps. Thank you for this motivational feedback

[@panatteri]

Good things to you.

[@sallydevaux]

Absolutely exquisite, I found this very relaxing, probably because you did all the work. So gratifying to rescue something old and in bad shape and making it useful again. A piece of art. It’s a credit to you, worthy of a cold beverage. Stay safe 🙏

[@raggedrobin2341]

I follow a few restoration channels, and I’ve looked at many others. What sets your work apart from ALL of them is the creativity you apply. It’s what makes me look forward to each video. My young daughter is starting to get into restoration KZbin. I’d love to be able to gift her this knife one day! (She‘ll have to wait a bit longer for the beer though.)

[@NTRprojects]

That sounds nice. I'm crossing fingers. Thank you so much for the feedback

[@marton_dobo]

Finally some actual restorations! You really care about these objects you restore, it's very uplifting to watch!

[@LovelySharma-kb4wz]

I love the way you restore things and use old materials from your previous projects it means a lot.

[@philippheyho7264]

its always great to see how old tools and knives are getting a second chance to shine

[@miarosie]

I think that probably the best part of this restoration is the history of all parts. Given the choice of quality used over new, i’d always go used. I love to hold wood in particular knowing its been held and crafted before. I love old watches for the same reason. Never having had a Swiss army knife, this old gal would be delighted to own this one - or buy any other you restore in the future. Tastefully done.

[@rabidcougar6465]

Beautiful job! You didn't restore a knife, you created a collectable masterpiece!

[@Rumble600]

This channel really deserves a lot more subscribers! I'm always blown away by these restorations, and this one is no exception. Most people would have tossed that knife in the trash, but you turned it into something beautiful. Keep it up!

[@RicardoBachman]

Si...... solo alguien con talento y paciencia puede obtener esos bellos resultados.

[@docdildonica7515]

[@TheMhael]

What this channel needs is a manicure. The entire thing is so beautifully put together. The dirty nails just kinda takes away from it.

[@SeraTops3]

I have to say yours has totally become one of my favourite channels. I’ve been following you for over the past year and it’s been so great to see how it’s blossomed. Great work, friend!!!

[@Antiqueexcavator]

I could totally do that!! Not even an issue. All I need is your tools and knowledge!!

[@FajarJasmin]

Instantly a new favorite channel of mine! The bloodwood provides the flair, and the whole thing is an appreciation to a deep idea that anything is possible, no matter how broken you think you are. Just beautiful.

[@pamelabraman7217]

Beautiful as always The part I like the best about watching you is not just your skill with the restorations, but your ability to see the potential in a piece of wood that others would just throw away. I definitely agree with you about the fizz in the beer, just the fact that it didn't produce a good head was enough to tell that.

[@ricksanders792]

Its a labor of love. being a knife guy, its not for resale!!! just to show what is possible with passion, and the knowledge and the right tools. Loved it!!! Rick

[@henryhendrixx]

I love that your restorations actually RESTORE the item to its original condition and aren't just 40 pounds of bondo covered with paint. Excellent job as always!

[@youhavenothingifyoudonthav9895]

You sound like me . I feel the same about how alot of folks do this work . I've restored over 200 + Knives . So I'm very particular .as to how to do a knife .

[@martyjehovah]

Using a bunch of bondo so you can skip the hard work of sanding is definitely a bad thing that some restorers are guilty of, but there are also times when bondo/filler is the right move, and unfortunately a lot of people are under the impression it is always lazy and bad. For example if an antique part is thin, and deeply pitted it would be better to clean/stop further rusting and then use filler to even out the surface rather than sanding the part to oblivion or outright replacing it with new parts and ruining the piece's originality. Bondo is just another tool in your toolbox that under very specific circumstances is the better choice.

[@kaufmanat1]

40 pounds of bondo? How big are your pocket knives?

[@saulrudolph7450]

​@@martyjehovah look😊 5:42

[@vickiefowler1429]

A beautiful restoration for a classic “multi tool”. The colors and textures of the woods are arranged nicely. This is something anyone would be proud to use and show off!

[@PhoKingHell]

Love the no talking format so we can hear all the work being done. Absolutely aces mate.

[@victorpaulino8078]

What a beautiful work! The combination of these types of wood made the difference! I almost cried watching this video because I remembered a pocket knife of my grandpa that passed away in 2018 and we were so close to each other.

[@clhagy]

It’s really a gift to watch an artist as they go through their process. You truly have amazing talent! Thank you for sharing this incredible restoration with the rest of us!

[@gordonadams5891]

Wow! I would never have thought an old rusty, dirty and broken knife could be restored to be useful. And this one is also gorgeous!

[@Taliber]

Beautiful wood work. It’s so nice to see a restoration with more than just metal working skill. The sentimental nature is wonderful as well. Excellent work!

[@alexdeleon7135]

Congratulations on reaching 41,300+ subscribers! This proves that the things you do are great to watch, and always highlight your skill with metallurgy, woodworking, and restoral processes. The thing that impressed me the most in this episode was the making of the broken copper plates. You not only produced exact copies out of a copper sheet, but you nickel plated them as well for authenticity, as well as protection! I admire that you chose a multi laminated handle for this knife. This gives the finished knife a distinct personality, and uniqueness. Well done! I hope your subscribers continue to grow as the years pass. NO TO WAR.

[@WhiteOak09]

Great job

[@The4ndres]

Love the fact you used wood scrap from past projects for the scales; That's some palpable storytelling right there! And it looks like a bad-ass coral snake! Amazing job

[@abilangbridge3136]

Wow, this restoration is honestly so beautiful, the design of that wood cover and the history behind all of the wood swatches is really ingenious! Never stop restoring (or drinking beer!)

[@grd4381]

Great job and beautiful result!

[@BrianSargent]

So many ways of doing things I haven't considered before. Really interesting and helpful. Thanks!

[@NTRprojects]

Glad it was helpful Brian!

[@ianarmstrong9594]

No to wars but yes to knifes

[@montanaylago]

The combination of colors on the handle is exquisite! And is such a cool thing to have different wood from your different projects… nice restoration!

[@stuartdrakley2106]

Very impressive and highly entertaining, not to mention the quality of your work. you also have a well stocked work shop, all the tools you need. I look forward to more from you, thank you sharing your work.

[@NTRprojects]

Welcome to the channel Stuart Drakley many more projects are already waiting for you

[@emadonai]

Very Impressive restoration, I was shocked at the before and after. It looks beautiful!

[@SeanBZA]

Beautiful job there, must be very old, as I do not think Victorinox has made wooden sheathed knives for a long time, but still the classic look on it, and a great job on fixing it as well. I have a similar one which I used regularly, till the knife itself wore out, and the clip for the lanyard wore through. Repaired that with silver solder, but eventually it had to become a drawer piece. Aluminium sides, with the NATO issue number on it, the proper military version. Great knives, and that it was still so sharp after so long in a field is testament to the great design and good material choice. Your choice of replacing the wood with the same is great, though you really made it shine with all the colours chosen in the selection of wood used. A top job on this one, showing your attention to details, even in small parts.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you so much for this detailed feedback and your story as well

[@thomaszarski5100]

Did you choose to stabilize the wood first, or not an option?

[@suisseanonyme1033]

I have a really sad fact to said... it isn't a victorinox knife, victorinox never produced these can opener, some can opener were close, but still not the same. But if you want a good new, victorinox still product knife with wood scales.

[@BettyCarter-s5r]

anybody would be proud to own a knife made by you. You do your followers far more than we stand. keep up the good work an more videos.

[@brotherBvideos]

You did a great job, I watched this entire video and I don't even restore items, but it was incredible, I love the wood design, great job sir.

[@NTRprojects]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariosilva6148]

Mesmerising work as always. I really appreciate your spot on craftsmanship and awesome humour! Very grateful you share it with everyone.

[@theoutdoormedic3098]

the attention to detail is mesmerising.....truly beautiful.

[@curtcaudle5900]

The work on the scales is beautiful ❤️. Nice job all the way around. You are truly a gifted craftsman. Thank you 😊👍

[@derekwagner157]

As always you have done masterful work! This really pops and would be welcomed by anyone. Love the scales so much.

[@johnboyd7158]

So satisfying to see a craftsman taking the time to restore an old knife properly. Very talented and skillful. In the words of my old Sgt: Ya done good

[@valspaulding8644]

Beautiful work, a real work of art and skill. Anyone who wins this will have a treasure for life

[@colleenthomas6046]

Wonderful work on the project and its chronology per usual. Thank you for sharing these restorations with us- we always look forward to them!

[@bennysmith2104]

Wonderful work. Beautiful job.

[@jonathanmcvennon4108]

I understand what it takes, the work, the love, the joy. Man what a beautiful project. Beautifully considered, like the beer love too. Though I am sober. Enjoy yourself.

[@Sanderson890]

Beautiful restoration, thank you for sharing it with us. I love that you gave this knife a new life it deserved. Take care my friend. 🙂

[@jeffhammond8969]

Your work on this is closer to fine art. I love your ability to be so talented at many different disciplines such as metalwork, woodwork, plating and finishing.♥️

[@MichaelOGrady]

Could watch this all day, lovely work! The wood blend is just gorgeous.

[@janekb.666]

What a nice work-especially the scales! You deserve much more followers, man.

[@NTRprojects]

One day maybe. But the KZbin Gods do not appreciate the long time I invest in each project

[@Comingwings]

​@Not Terrible Restorations your hard work and patience you will see fruits of, my dear friend.

[@lwoods507]

It's sad to see these things in such bad shape beforehand, and so lovely to watch the care and expertise you bring to their restoration! Much love from Scotland!

[@TheBigbrother47]

BEAUTIFUL KNIFE

[@NTRprojects]

Glad to hear that you liked it so much larry dore

[@donalddangerfield8064]

That’s a beautiful knife sir. Watching you work was a pleasure I’m 62 I know craftsmanship when I see it and it’s glaring on this job.. the knife turned out so beautiful I just subscribed.

[@chrislanini8389]

Outstanding work as always. The way the new wood coverings were made gives it a ton of character. Great job!

[@antoniorosario]

Beautiful work, man. I love the handle you did for this Swiss pocket knife. Can’t wait for the future projects to come 😄👍

[@HansFichtner]

I am really overwhelmed!! A masterpiece! Congratulation. Greatings from Germany.

[@aviwinner2558]

Whoever assembled the original knife in the factory (how many decades ago?) would feel so warm and content inside to see this restoration. Beautiful job.

[@Argent_99]

I always thought the more modern plastic scale Swiss Army knives were a smidge less elegant than the older variants with wooden scales (though obviously, the newer ones are incredibly durable.) I’m amazed you got such a terrific result from where you started. I don’t think I would have touched that knife without gloves (or a tetanus shot.)

[@jimmysweat431]

😂

[@Garfi78]

Just discovered this channel yesterday - I was immediately "hooked" and subscribed. The whole package (Items, Restauration Process, Filming, Cutting and Pace) is excellent and fun/relaxing to watch. It es nice to watch someone giving new life to pieces with history while showing dedication an precision this enriched my day.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you very much and welcome to the channel Volker

[@ianthomson4306]

beautiful to watch a real craftsman at work, Bravo!

[@JUANMANUELOSPINA-ll3tu]

Beautiful knife, al least someone who takes the time to disassemble the piece and really restore it...your wood idea was really good...congratulations, keep the good work

[@NTRprojects]

I will continue to try my best

[@FWilliamAnderson]

Dude! Well done. Whoever gets it, the important thing is they have a knife that's been cared for and nurtured with detail. Those are always the best gifts. Congrats to whoever gets it. A great family tool with a history and story.

[@Aco747lyte]

The restored knife is wholly beautiful; your restorations are a work of art. Plus the camera work and lighting, and final editing. Thank you so much. With kind regards, Wendi UK 🌻

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Wendi

[@pgoessnitzer]

Hello Doctor Beer, this was a very impressive restoration. You performed major repairs to the knife to restore the mechanical function and greatly enhanced the look by creating those beautiful handle halves. This was a top job! Greetings from Oregon!

[@jimkelly8473]

That was awesome…I didn’t think you could restore that Jack knife but you sure proved me dead wrong..your really gifted.. Chi Miigwech for sharing your gift…

[@just-dl]

I’ve never really cared for multi-tools or Swiss Army knives. Until now. That is beautiful.

[@AFlyGuyYYC]

This restoration shows many of your abilities, metalworking, woodworking, as well as showcases some of your previous projects. As always, I love when you take time out to sample and test a beer. I love learning about all the different European beers. Great content as always!

[@Frankenstein-1]

It's satisfying for me to watch your videos. I don't have a shop, or even a garage to do projects like I used to and you do such a great job on all your projects. The knife turned out beautifully, you should be proud.

[@petermurphy994]

restoration is about history by giving new life to this project using materials you had from other projects your respecting the pieces history as well as sympathetic restoration you show care to every project you do I have enjoyed every project my friend.

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you Peter

[@johnburgess6572]

Above all this is a metaphor for hope when things too far gone...plus old world craftsmanship finished with wood from the ages...fabulous !

[@hughbryant1326]

Watching you restore this old knife has given me the inspiration to restore a knife of mine. Thank you. Somerset UK

[@donnyflippo2781]

From the small bandsaw, to the drill press, you are a master craftsman! Very nice work! Love how you replaced the cracked blade. Awesome technique.

[@robertjones6628]

Great restoration, especially the handle, it's little things like that that make the difference. 👍

[@StabilityMan]

Wow! 👀 What a stunningly beautiful transformation! I'd be proud to have a knife like that in my pocket every day! 💯 Great job, as always!

[@Nurso-di1jt]

Es ist immer wieder spannend zuzusehen, mit wie viel Liebe zum Detail verrostete Dingen wieder neues Leben eingehaucht wird. Vielen Dank 🍀

[@devastatn]

Wow!!!!! Craftsmen are fantastic. I could watch these projects forever. Thank you

[@lordieshepherd]

You're right. This channel does deserve more subscribers. Count me in. That was an amazing restoration, and I loved the beer review too.

[@ronniehall1520]

Great Work

[@simplecircuits4246]

What a beautiful Result. Wonderful work!

[@davidabney7700]

Bravo sir, you took an old folding pocket knife, made of great steel, and at one time a beautiful knife, had suffered many years of neglect. It looked terrible 'before' you started your refurbishment. After you finished, it looked better than when it came from the factory that made it. Thank you so much for sharing your skill with the KZbin audience! Great, great job!

[@lesliebryce6074]

Mesmerizing to watch. Incredible skill and talent with a workshop to match. Love your creativity too. Thanks for the joy.

[@justincressotti4846]

That's a knife I'd hand down to my son. Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@mannywilliams6409]

I don't know what I'm more impressed with your wood working skills or your metal working skills..

[@carmium]

Memory flashback from this! I was seven years old and found a jackknife with warped wooden handles high on the banks of the Columbia River in southern BC. Even at that age, I figured it was something of an antique. Alas, it was "just a piece of junk" to everyone else, and I didn't know someone like you who might restore it. As a "hand worker" myself, I'd have taken a hard look at its make and construction before tossing it, only a few years later! Beautiful work, Dr. Beer!

[@ncvest1]

Great restoration, I think I'm going to show my son's Scout troop this so they can see how a Swiss Army knife goes together and what they might have to do if they don't take care of their knife. Thanks for all your videos

[@NTRprojects]

Love the idea nate. My biggest driver is to motivate the youth to think about and consider processes of production, maintanance and crafts

[@patstrailertopics5975]

I have always loved swiss army knives, and would love to add this one to the lot. Very nice detail work on fabricating new parts and scales from your project offcuts. Always good to see a restoration done by a fussbudget!

[@robertjessen1554]

A very nice job. As an EMT I always carry at least one knife when I'm on duty. They are incredibly handy.

[@RobplusPiper]

I restore things too... I haven't done a knife yet, but wow! what an amazing job you did. Anyone would be proud to carry that blade!!!

[@ant1sokolow]

Very nice vid and restoration. Thr wood part are very pretty, givinga youthful look to this old pocket knife.

[@douglaskerr6813]

Excellent restoration great work

[@NTRprojects]

Thank you very much!

[@BacktheBlue60]

As per usual, I'm late to the party. I think it is beautiful. Of course it's unique. The only one of its kind. I would have treasured it forever. Beautifully done. ❤❤❤❤

[@sunstarburst]

One thing that I truly love is a good knife. And you most definitely restored and made that knife a truly good knife. What a beautiful knife it is.🤗👍🏾👍🏾

[@XianHu]

I was just expecting a basic restoration, but with the handle scales you made it's more than that. Thank you for sharing!

[@tonyl5206]

Excellent work. It certainly made it better and better finished. Keep up the good work!

[@PatrickGonzales-m9m]

Amazing work. I have seen a number of your videos and I am always amazed at the outcome. Thanks

[@REBELSCL]

Excellent work! Revives old memories of my time in the Boy Scouts. You’ve got some serious skills!

[@amitbhattachariya9357]

I am enjoying your every movement for the restoration work.

[@TheMongo1357]

WOW, One of the most thorough and beautiful renovations I've ever seen performed! I had a knife very similar, but had green plastic handles that I wish had been able to do this to it! Gorgeous piece!!!!

[@NeilBates-k3t]

What a beautiful restoration I would be proud to own that knife
