Vintage Pocket Knives Restored 🇺🇸

[@johndilday1846]

The stag looks beautiful. You did an amazing job of restoration, Wayne. Congratulations on a job well done.

Love these old knives. I am always looking for them and sometimes I find some nice ones to restore. You have good stuff! (Please keep the knife still for a second to reveal its details as you show it.) Great ideas on saving these good old boys and putting them back to service. Thanks for the good content! I always learn something from you.

Beautiful knives you are very talented

Great job, brother! Coming from the ebony camp, I have to say, the stag looks awesome! Love how thick you left the covers. Well, you did manage to sneak the ebony in there in the end, lol. Fantastic restorations. Have a great day!

[@nicksweeney5176]

Absolutely, improving that formerly Ebony jack with the Stag scales was the right-&-wisest decision; and beefing up the width was very smart and practical. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Thanks Nick. I tossed it back and forth. If both blades were pretty much full. I may have gone Ebony and made a shield. You can’t beat awesome Stag for sure. It pops this knife into a whole different realm. Thanks for sharing. Best! Dwayne

@CuttingEdgetools Also, plays very, very well, with the hardware/bolsters.

You did a great job on all those knives

Beautiful work! And I love Balistol it smells pretty bad, but it cleans and lubricates so well. I like how it foams, it seems to clear out a lot of junk in lld folders.

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Thanks for watching and sharing Reggie. Balistol’ has some natural ingredients. Kinda has a licorice odor. Maybe anise’ plant?

[@benjaminbeyer2401]

Fantastic job brother

[@stephenjeffrey75]

Great job on all 3. 😊👍 Those really look good. I’ve got a Valor Barlow with bone handles and they are great knives.

[@rasputinscastle]

Well, you can't go wrong with stag. Thanks for the mention 😊

[@robertshuffelen9172]

Looks good 👍

[@couteauxdecollection]

Nice restoration !

[@RonaldNorwood-kn4bo]

Love it! You paid a dollar for it and if I was in your presence now I’d make ya a purdy far offer on it! It does have Empire written all over it.

[@CuttingEdgetools]

🤠hey Ron thanks for sharing. Yes sir. I could double my $ on this one 😂 Labor of Love is what they usually say!

[@radar468]

Well now! I am glad you had the fever yesterday! That turned out awesome! It’s sick! They all turned out great but the Coke bottle stag is just perfect!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌶️

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Thanks Radar. Growing on me. It’s become one of my favorite old folders

[@ebertcombs6610]

Looks great, I need to send you a melon tester I have to rehandle ! Just kidding I know you don’t have time for that! But I need to do it , someone else put wood on it but it doesn’t look great. I may get brave enough to try it one day. It’s a 65 to 69 case xx . Haven’t seen very many. Thanks for the video, you have some nice specimens and do good restorations.

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Thanks for sharing. Them CASE’ Melon’s are not common. Most all had food grade Plastic scales of some sort . I have just one M tester from France. Has the long blade and a smaller blade.

[@piperkennard1039]

I like the stag💯👌

[@Freedom2219]

Awesome

[@michaelmorrison4843]

The stag folder turned out fairly well but, the stag you used could've been a much better quality! Better quality stag... better quality job! 🤔👍

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Thanks for watching.

[@mateosainz]

Buenas Menuda suerte a 1& !! Podías poner fotos de como estaban y así vemos el verdadero trabajo de restauración. Gracias por tus videos de historia de EEUU, aunque estemos un poco enfrentados en el tiempo .

[@benjaminbeyer2401]

SEKI JAPAN CITY OF SWORDS Blade history: 780 years SOLINGEN GERMANY CITY OF BLADES history: 600 years just wanted to share this information for those who love shocking blade history! .

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Thanks my friend. Good stuff. Pretty amazing history

[@AaronDalton-py3pq]

How did you get the pins in the stag?

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Pin’s were installed into the heavy stag-prior to Attaching the scales

[@wizardofahhhs759]

Is there a reason why the Lakeside couldn't have been made by Cattaraugus?

[@CuttingEdgetools]

It’s possible. Sears Roebuck likely had a few Cutlery Companies make knives for them way back in the day

[@chrisborona5063]

You did a great job on all of them . Was it hard to pin the stag on that 1st one? I've never tried that..I wish you were my neighbor, we'd get along pretty good. GOD BLESS AMERICA... stay dangerous mofos

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Hey thanks Chris. The scale pins were gone on one side & pretty much gone on the other. Only way to pin scales onto the frame is to Disassemble the knife and peen on new pins! If I was Replacing Blades-I would have re-installed pins through the frame . Instead of complete disassemble. I drilled and installed pins before mounting the scales with Epoxy. The pins are thus epoxied to the frame as well as the stag. 100 years ago high tech epoxy didn’t exist . Even if I disassembled the knife to hammer in the pins. I would sill have Epoxied the scales ! The chances of the scales cracking and typical pin cracking over time is pretty much voided. The small bone German folder with the missing bone scale-still had the original pins intact and I was able to use them. Thanks Brother

[@chrisborona5063]

@CuttingEdgetools awesome job bro. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. Those babies will be around another 200 years after your refurb of them.

[@WhippleUniverse]

Great job on the Restoration ! What caught my attention was when you mentioned “Miller Brothers Cutlery !” I have not heard any other channel mention them yet. I picked a Miller Brothers up about a year ago, and fascinated with their history! Do you have an email? Send you some pictures?
